Without shaking up the market, the WF-XB700 are positioned as honest headphones true wireless, with a very solid autonomy. We still prefer models like the Jabra Elite 65t, the Tune 120 TWS or the Huawei Freebuds 3i, which are generally more efficient or more versatile.
Strong points
- Very nice stereophonic width.

- Ease of use, complete orders.
- Good passive insulation.
Weak points

Difficult for the Pushes to stand out from the crowd. These very basic true wireless headphones indeed offer the minimum both in terms of listening and use. They will therefore do their job for occasional use, but it is not difficult to find competing models more complete and pleasant to use (and undoubtedly more universal in terms of comfort) without having to break the bank.
