Frequency response notes (measured)
RTINGS describes a warm sound profile. Bass has plenty of thump, the treble is underemphasised so sibilants sound dull and veiled. SoundGuys measures bass under 100 Hz more than 6 dB below its preference curve and treble above 5 kHz underemphasised.9Measurementsoundguys.com/sony-wf-c700n-101531Read 10 October 2026SoundGuys frequency response against its preference curve: bass under 100 Hz more than 6 dB quieter, treble above 5 kHz underemphasised.10Measurementrtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/sony-wf-c700n-truly-wireless-vs-sony-wf-c500-truly-wireless/39641/28723Read 10 October 2026Public RTINGS Sound Profile text for the Sony WF-C700N.

RTINGS: voice is clean and understandable but somewhat thin.
