With active noise-cancelling and other sonic tech moving at a rapid this is a fascinating category pace

If you're looking for a discreet pair of wireless earbuds that don't look or feel bulky, these Sonys could be for you. Their dimensions are impressively small, making the more expensive WF-1000XM5 look like a couple of boulders by comparison. This could partly be explained by the fact they use a 5mm driver, where the WF-1000XM5 boasts a much larger 8.4mm 'Dynamic Driver X'.

We are big fans of the comfort levels provided by WF-C700N. The Sonys slide in and twist into place in the lower portion of your outer ear. They don't dig in and instead just nestle in place, with the flexible silicone eartips finishing the job and providing an excellent seal. The net result is that they are easy to live with.
