Wireless headphones Sony (Sony)

Headphones are a common accessory not only for connoisseurs of good music, but also for gamers, translators, journalists, and active users of social networks.

However, using wired models is not always convenient, which is why most buyers prefer wireless devices.

One of the best manufacturers of such devices is the Japanese company Sony.

#10 – Sony WI-C200

Price: 1,700 rubles

One of the best affordable headphones on the market in terms of bass performance. Of course, it’s not as rich here as in the new expensive models, but when compared with competitors in price, the WI-C200 looks better. Especially if you choose the right attachments. Another distinguishing feature of the WI-C200 is its battery life. A full charge lasts for 15 hours of operation of the device at 70 percent volume.

Each of the earplugs is equipped with magnets, due to which they can be connected to each other when the headphones are hanging around the neck. In reviews, owners praise the alert system, which warns when battery life is running low. One of the disadvantages of the cheapest competitor is that the wire becomes very dull in the cold.

The design is interesting, but they are comfortable to wear

The headphones are packed in an unusual eco-cardboard box. The unpacking process is very pleasant, everything is as neat and stylish as possible. Even the intermediate liners are recyclable.

Inside, in addition to the headphones, there are three pairs of foam tips of different sizes. The number is confusing: the previous model had twice as many.

There are no silicone versions anymore, which is not ideal, but it will do. Sony explains the transition to foam nozzles with a concern for comfort, and there is no point in arguing here. It's really more pleasant with foam ones. But they are also necessary for something else: better fixation of the headphones in the ears. Without such attachments, this model simply would not hold up and fall out, I checked.

I was very pleased with the case. Compared to the previous generation, it has become better in absolutely everything. The lid is strong and slams shut confidently. The headphones are held inside by super-strong magnets; you need to apply some force to remove the “ears”. It's impossible to shake it out.

The fixation is also killer: just insert at least “half” of the earphone inside, and the second part will align itself and fly into the charging grooves. And the case material no longer collects scratches as much as the old version. I carry it with my keys and everything in my backpack, there are still no traces. Well done, listened to the complaints!

The headphones stick out a little from the ears, which is done deliberately. The protruding rounded plastic surface, a little rough, is a touch panel , by “tap” on which you control playback and changing modes. My opinion about touch panels has not changed for 10 years, and I’m not saying anything new here: I don’t like it, that’s all. Buttons would be better, but nothing can be done.

No. 9 – Sony WH-CH510

Price: 2,800 rubles

Popular model in Russia. The love of compatriots for it is due to the stability of the Bluetooth connection. It doesn't lag even when you are in a shopping mall where there are many other gadgets. The case has a matte finish, which is not only pleasant to the touch, but also does not get dirty. The WH-CH510 can work with both AAC and aptX codecs. In the second scenario, sound quality improves noticeably, especially in bass, but battery life deteriorates.

The manufacturer claims that on one charge the model is capable of plowing for 35 hours, and in practice the words are confirmed. In reviews, owners report that when used for a week for 5-6 hours daily, the headphones will only need charging on Sunday. The main drawback is that the ear pads put pressure on the ears, especially at first.

No. 7 – Sony WI-1000X

Price: 13,000 rubles

WI-1000X continues our top, which contains the best wireless Bluetooth headphones from Sony. The build quality fully justifies how much the gadget costs. All elements fit tightly, there are no gaps, which inspires confidence in reliability and durability. In terms of sound quality, everything is great - the stage is balanced, so the headphones are suitable for fans of any musical genre.

The set includes several ear pads of different sizes, among which everyone will find the set that suits them. The headphones have a vibration alert function. Thanks to it you will not miss an incoming call. The kit comes with a meter cable, so if desired, the device can be connected to the phone in a standard way via a minijack. The downside is that the wires freeze in the cold, and the warning about an imminent discharge is triggered a few seconds before the headphones turn off.

No. 6 – Sony WH-CH700N

Price: 9,500 rubles

Sony WH-CH700N are equipped with an advanced modern noise reduction system. Due to this, the headphones automatically select the required level based on the surrounding conditions. The technology works great and is able to completely filter out unnecessary sounds. Another trump card is battery life. A full battery charge lasts for 35 hours of use of the headphones.

The control buttons are comfortable, do not play, and you can scroll through tracks. For headphones there is a proprietary application in which the user can adjust the sound by enhancing the bass, vocal delivery or other component to his taste. In terms of ergonomics, everything is good - the WH-CH700N sit securely on the head and do not cause discomfort even during long-term use. Wearing the gadget around your neck is not very comfortable, which is the only complaint from buyers.

No. 5 – Sony WH-XB900N

Price: 14,000 rubles

Another solution in Sony's arsenal for bass lovers. This is what the developer focused on. Despite this, mid and high frequencies are not lost against its background, which is a serious advantage of the model over its competitors. Another trump card of the solution is the noise reduction system. Thanks to it, even in the subway you won’t have to turn up the volume above 60-70%. We also note the excellent quality of materials and reliable assembly.

The connection to a smartphone and any other gadget is stable and there are no interruptions. The ear pads of the headphones are soft, so they do not put pressure on the ears. A bonus is the ability to connect wired. On the downside, when adjusting the equalizer or turning on surround sound modes, the LDAC connection immediately switches to SBC with a corresponding drop in sound quality.

No. 4 – Sony WF-SP700N

Price: 8,500 rubles

Good headphones for sports from a popular brand. Due to their curved shape, they are tightly fixed in the sink, and the set of ear pads included will allow you to choose a pair according to the size of your ears. The sound is rich, the bass is dense and slightly accentuated, the highs are clean and quite detailed. There are several equalizer presets if you don't like the mode out of the box.

The noise reduction system is not a simple marketing ploy, but really helps to cut out the sounds of the subway, music in the hall and other ambient noise. The downsides are the sound delay when playing video, the lack of elements for adjusting the volume on the headphones, and the buttons are too small.

the main criteria for choosing equipment the type and shape, maximum battery life and range of reproducible frequencies ;
security system, headset sensitivity level, Bluetooth version and range are parameters that should be paid special attention to;

No. 3 – Sony WHH900N h.ear on 2 Wireless NC

Price: 15,000 rubles

The model comes in several colors, so you can use it to complement your modern look. The advantages of the device do not end there. It can work for about 30 hours on a single charge, so if you often go on business trips or visit your parents in another city, take a closer look at these headphones.

The third line of the rating also has a mode to turn off noise reduction, as well as an intermediate mode. By placing your palm on the right earphone, the phonogram is muffled and the surrounding sounds are amplified. The sound quality is at the level of the best wired new products - all frequencies are clearly audible without bending. Among the shortcomings, we note the lack of the ability to connect to two devices at the same time, as well as the small power button. Considering how much the WHH900N costs, user complaints are very justified.

Active noise cancellation is excellent, period.

The Sony WF-1000XM4 has better noise cancellation than the previous model , and also better than the AirPods Pro. In general, it seems to me that they have better active noise reduction than any other TWS in general. Nothing in the world can completely drown out the arrival of old Moscow metro cars, but the new Sonys do it better than others. Tap and you sit in almost complete silence.

Just for fun, I tried to attach third-party silicone tips to the XM4 rather than foam ones. This improved the level of attenuation of ambient noise, but interfered with the comfort of landing. And in general there is no need for this. The model does an excellent job of almost completely eliminating 92 decibels of subway braking. There is even less noise on an airplane, so I can confidently give the headphones the highest rating for noise reduction.

There is also a mode for skipping ambient sound. In terms of signal purity and realism, it does not reach the same “slips”, but it definitely feels better than the previous generation. Sometimes I even forgot that it was on, and so I walked without music for hours, completely forgetting that I was wearing headphones. Very much a sign of quality.

No. 2 – Sony WF-1000XM3

Price: 16,000 rubles

One of the main competitors of AirPods in the 2022 market, according to both experts and ordinary users. The main strength of the model is its advanced noise reduction system, which can reduce subway noise to a minimum. It has several operating modes - waiting, walking and music only. In the first, you will hear the speech of the people around you, in the second, loud and harsh sounds are filtered, in the last, you will be left alone with the composition playing in the player.

Despite the lack of aptX support, the sound quality does not disappoint. The headphones have adequate frequency balance without any bias in any direction and have rich bass. All this is complemented by 24 hours of autonomy with noise reduction enabled, convenient touch controls and a stylish design. The downside is the lack of moisture protection.

What are the best waterproof headphones for swimming?

Headphones for swimming should be:

Completely waterproof naturally =)
Light and comfortable
Ergonomic
With a secure fit
With high quality sound
Preferably wireless.

This top presents the 10 best waterproof models from around the market . Since there are very few headphones in this niche, we had to try really hard to find really good headphones for swimming.

Not all of the waterproof models presented below can be purchased in our stores. Most, except Sony, will have to be ordered from Amazon, Ebay or other stores, including Chinese (links to products are attached). But they are really worth it.

In the rating, we will not indicate sound quality as a minus. In rare models for the pool (and swimming in general), the sound is at a really good level. After all, you just need a “soundtrack”, not fidelity.
