Our Verdict

Sony WF-C700N Truly Wireless

Samsung Galaxy Buds FE

The Sony WF-C700N Truly Wireless and Samsung Galaxy Buds FE stand as value-driven options with noise cancelling features. The Sony headphones include a greater IPX4 rating against water, a longer continuous battery life, straightforward controls, and a virtual surround sound feature. They also have multi-pairing for up to two devices. However, their noise cancelling isn't as strong as the Samsung earbuds' ANC. The Samsung headphones also sound good, but with a more rudimentary EQ. They include Samsung's proprietary adaptive codec for use with the brand's phones. Their built-in stability fins are great for ensuring a secure fit for some people's ears, but they aren't enough for everybody. They also have a lower IPX2 rating and shorter battery life per single charge, but store more charges in the case than the Sony model.
