With Built-In Noise Cancellation Sony’s WF-SP700 Wire-Free Earbuds

-

The tech giant's second completely wireless earbuds stand out from their gym-friendly competitors by offering digital noise cancellation you can adjust with the touch of a button.
The all-new WF-SP700 earbuds are Sony’s second completely wireless model. Designed with workout warriors in mind, the wire-free earbuds offer a combination of distinctive looks, a highly customizable audio experience with an Extra Bass option, and adjustable noise cancellation. The latter sets the WF-SP700 apart from its gym-friendly, completely wireless competitors.

The Sony WF-SP700 wire-free earbuds look like tiny, slightly elongated pebbles. There are no sharp angles or edges on the earbuds, so it's pretty much guaranteed that they'll be incredibly comfortable even before you open their see-through box.
When it comes to fit and comfort, the WF-SP700 will live up to the expectations set by their organic design. The earbuds have a secure and exceptionally comfortable fit, which ensures that they'll stay in place during any workout.


Each earbud has a conveniently placed button to control essential functions. The right earbud button is for audio playback and phone calls, while the left one is dedicated to controlling the noise canceling.
As expected, the WF-SP700 earbuds are splash- and sweat-resistant. They have an IPX4 rating, so you won’t have to worry about damaging them during your workouts.
The earbuds have a sleek carrying case with a built-in battery. We love its swiveling cover, which is both cool-looking and convenient.
Motivating Audio and an Extra Bass Feature Will Keep You Pumped Up
Out of the box, the WF-SP700 wire-free earbuds offer a well-balanced sound signature, which will appeal to a broad range of audio tastes. Sony’s mobile app has a number of available presets, designed for various types of content. They range from a dedicated option for speech, all the way to an Extra Bass feature, which is great for workouts.
We still wish that Sony had equipped its latest offering with Bluetooth 5.0 instead of Bluetooth 4.1 because the newer standard is a lot more stable and offers a vastly improved wireless range.
Impressive Noise Cancellation Puts Them Ahead of Their Wire-Free Competitors
The noise-canceling quality of the WF-SP700 is impressive, especially considering their form factor. The feature is handily the headset’s biggest selling point, as its gym-friendly wire-free competitors don’t offer noise cancellation.
The earbuds did a solid job in tuning out unwanted ambient noise at the gym and outdoors. You can turn off the feature with the press of a button on the left earbud. A dedicated ambient mode is also available — it lets in noise from your surroundings, so it’s perfect for outdoor runs and exercises.
Mediocre Battery Life Is a Trade-Off for the Excellent Noise-Canceling Feature
Sony rates the WF-SP700 earbuds as capable of lasting up to 3 hours between charges. Our experience with the headset came in line with the manufacturer’s numbers. The earbuds’ carrying case has enough power for two full charges.


Battery life isn't an impressive showing for wire-free earbuds in this price point — Sony’s direct rivals from Jabra and Bose, for example, offer 5 hours of battery life. The inferior battery endurance from Sony is a direct trade-off for the noise cancellation the WF-SP700 earbuds offer.

Built-In Noise Cancellation Put These Wire-Free Sony Earbuds in a League of Their Own

The Sony WF-SP700 earbuds are sleek, comfy, and sound great. Most importantly, thanks to their built-in digital noise cancellation, the wire-free earphones will let you tune out your surroundings and focus on your workout. In this instance, Sony’s wire-free earbuds are in a league of their own, at least for the time being.

Forget Treehouses OAS1S Wants To Make Houses That Look Like Trees

When you talk about forest retreats, you tend to imagine a place filled with treehouse structures, where people can live right atop the thick trunks and branches of large, woody plants. OAS1S has a different kind of forest retreat in mind – instead of treehouses, people live in tall structures designed to look like trees that can be in the middle of a jungle without looking out of place.

The concept imagines designing a block in the city as an open space, filled with actual trees, kind of like a miniature park reserve. Then, you erect these tree-like structures within that expanse, essentially creating a community within a forest-like enclave. The lot is designed to be free of roads, so no cars can come through, essentially creating a green place in the middle of a bustling metropolis. You know, a literal urban jungle.

The design of the OAS1S buildings are, literally, based on the form of trees, so they’re a lot more narrow (16.4 x 16.4 feet, …

How to Convert Earth's Plastic Pandemic Into Fuel

Our world is drowning in plastic waste—but these scientists think they have a way to turn all those empty water bottles into a fuel source.
The world is drowning in plastic waste. Ninety-one percent of the billions of tons of plastic produced is never recycled. Instead, most of it ends up in landfills, on beaches, or in the ocean.
So a team of researchers have devised a way to take old plastic and break it down into fuel.
Bioengineers working in biofuel development have spent the last 10 years using grants from to develop ways to turn agricultural waste—like byproducts from farming and logging industries—into fuel. When farmers harvest corn and process it into kernels, for example, the leftover leaves and stems are valuable waste products that can be leveraged by innovative practices and turned into something new.
A biological systems engineer of the project, told that one of the best things to do with that waste is make fuel.
“There’s a huge amount of biomass available,” he said. “W…

Why walk or drive when you can actually fly? Well, now you really can do that, with the futuristic Aero-X hover bike recently announced by California-based Aerofex. Unlike any other vehicle currently available on the innovative transportation market, the Aero-X is a hovercraft that lifts you off the ground to take you from place A to place B relatively quickly – and it’s super-easy to ride, too.

Easily adaptable to a wide variety of recreational as well as professional uses such as geo-surveys, search and rescue missions, border patrols, disaster relief, aerial agricultural inspections and herding management, the Aero-X is designed to make low-altitude flights up to 10 feet (some 3 meters) above the surface level at 45 miles per hour (72 km/h). The vehicle features four-wheel gear with castoring aft wheels and two fixed-pitch carbon fiber propellers fitted to the front and the back which allow it to hover above ground. It runs on automotive gasoline and can reportedly take off and la…
