Features

The WH-XB700 was announced earlier in March 2019 globally and is finally landing in India in April. Along with improved performance over previous models in the segment, the WH-XB700 also packs a number of new features. While the headphones claim a total battery life of 30 hours, there’s also a quick charge feature onboard that tops up the battery for 1.5 hours worth of listening time in 10 minutes thanks to USB-c charging. There’s also support for passive operations with a 3.5mm cable included.

Perhaps the most interesting feature that the WH-XB700 packs is the inbuilt support for google assistant and amazon Alexa. With this, you get dedicated voice assistant features on your headphones with bare minimum reliance on its corresponding functionality on the connected smartphone. We have more details about this in the next section.

For connectivity, along with the passive support mentioned earlier, you get Bluetooth 4.2 and it also supports one-touch listening with NFC. According to Sony, these headphones also support a range of Bluetooth audio codecs, namely aptX, AAC along with the standard SBC codec. Strangely, Sony’s own LDAC is missing. We verified that the WH-XB700 does not support the LDAC codec yet using the developer settings in Android as well as the Headphone Connect app.
