So today we’re going to be comparing the new Sony WH-CH710N to the Sony WH-XB700’s… now normally I wouldn’t compare these two headphones cause the 710N’s are over ear headphones and the XB700’s are on ear headphones so I would just say go with the over ear headphones. But since Sony really likes to put both of these headphones on sale for ridiculous prices on major shopping holidays I thought that we should still compare them.
In general I’m a really big fan of Sony’s headphones. The 1000XM3’s are my favorite and most recommended pair of ANC headphones, the XB900N are a great pair of mid tier ANC headphones, and both the XB700 and WH-CH700N are great budget options especially when they’re on sale. And during this holiday season the new WH-CH510’s also went on sale. But I don’t think that you should run out and get these headphones. Especially if you plan on using them on a regular basis.
When Sony first released the 1000XM3’s it was a big deal for two reasons. Obviously they improved their tech specs so they’d perform over all better… but they also improved their over all build quality and redesigned them so they’d look a lot better than their predecessors as well. And thankfully the new Sony WH-XB700’s have gone through the same treatment. Now even though I really do like the new Sony XB700’s I’m extra excited over them cause they are clearly giving us a preview of what to expect from the Sony XB1000’s.
Back at CES 2019 Sony announced their upcoming Sony XB22 and XB32 portable bluetooth speakers… And I also expect a Sony XB42 is also on the way. Cause over the last few days Sony has been updating their companion apps for their Headphones and Speakers to support unspecified newer models. But now Sony Asia has officially announced their upcoming WH-XB700’s. Now I’m going to tell you what the WH-XB700’s are all about and also what it could mean for upcoming yet to be announced products.
