Headphones offer an immersive listening experience while living in this digital age has made it possible for us to explore multiple options. Sony is one of the leading brands that deliver supreme audio reproduction and active noise-cancellation. And if you want to do without a bulky headband as much as you don’t want to be restricted by pesky cables, the Sony WI-C600N
Sony’s WI-C600N adopts a neckband design which is ideal for those who want wireless in-ear headphones but aren’t really comfortable with just plain earbuds. Wires would no longer be dangling around your neck with a malleable silicone neckband and magnetic earbuds that stay clipped to each other when not in use. The earbuds are also relatively smaller than usual that it is quite astounding how Sony managed to squeeze in 6mm drivers just to ensure high-quality sound.
While it is incredibly lightweight at just 34 grams with its compact dimensions, let alone its ability to twist and fold without incurring any damage does a lot in terms of portability, it does come at the expense of battery as it can only promise 6.5 hours at most. It is still acceptable considering noise cancellation is employed and since it only takes an hour to quick charge with the newly introduced USB-C.
Bluetooth and NFC facilitate a seamless pair with a compatible iOS or Android devices while its support for Bluetooth codec, aptX HD increases its audio resolution and retains its dynamic range. You’ll instantly be able to tune in to Sony’s signature sound that is generally well-balanced throughout the audio spectrum but you can opt to customize your sound through the Sony Headphones Connect app. Apart from toggling with the equalizer, you’ll also be able to choose among three modes of noise cancellation that would best suit your environment, as well as set up your voice assistant (Google Assistant, Siri, or Alexa).
