• SONY launches the WF-H800 true wireless earphones!

  

  2020/02/21

  The new WF-H800 true wireless earphones have been released by SONY. The WF-H800 earphones omit the noise canceling function of the WF-1000XM3, a masterpiece in the field of true wireless earphones released in the summer of 2019.
  The WF-1000XM3's acclaimed simultaneous transmission of the left and right channels reduces disruptions in the sound, the connection is stable, and latency is low.
  By reducing the functions, battery life has been extended from 6 hours to 8 hours.
  In addition, both the earphones and the case have been made smaller, making it easier to fit the case in your pocket. The biggest feature is that it now has physical buttons with a click sensation instead of touch sensors, allowing for more intuitive operation.
