Sony WI-C600N: A noise-canceling headset that can be manipulated by anyone, a great tool for urban commuting

People on the road are in a hurry, and everyone is rushing for survival. The fast-paced life is draining energy from the body every moment. Only when commuting on the subway can you have a little free time of your own, put on headphones, open a book, and immerse yourself in your own world without being surrounded by others. Music is a way for people to relax themselves and increase positive energy. With the ups and downs of music, the mind is transparent, the body and mind are soothed, and a short rest is obtained. On the way to commute, noise interference makes it difficult for users to concentrate on thinking or immerse themselves in the world of music.

In response to user needs, noise-canceling headphones came into being. All major manufacturers have launched their own flagship products, hoping to seize the initiative and occupy market share. In the field of audio and video, if you have not used Sony products, you may have missed the whole world. Of course, this time is no exception. Sony's entry-level noise-canceling headphones WI-C600N, priced at 799 yuan, appeared in front of the public as a commuting tool. As for the effect, let's experience it in person.

The packaging box of Sony WI-C600N reveals a simple and exquisite temperament as always. The information on the box is also relatively clear at a glance. The product model and appearance are printed in a prominent position, and the main selling points of WI-C600N are briefly introduced below. For example, it supports Bluetooth and wireless functions, and the battery life is 6.5 hours. The information on the box is generally general. Let's unpack it, take a look at the real thing, and feel the actual use effect.

Open the box and you will find a USB Type-C charging cable and three pairs of extended hybrid silicone earplugs, which can meet the in-ear needs of most people.

People come and go on the commute, and it is inevitable that bumps and bruises will happen. If you are not careful, your beloved earphones may be broken. Sony WI-C600N starts from the user's perspective, traces the source, and fundamentally solves the user's pain points. It is made of soft silicon material and has a neck-hanging U-shaped design, which provides you with a comfortable and fitting wearing experience. If you need to put it in a bag, you can fold it into a bundle for flexible storage, without fear of bending and folding, and it is small and exquisite, easy to carry.

When the matching earplugs are not in use, they can be used as neck ornaments. If you need to store them, the humanized magnetic design can cleverly store the earphones to prevent the cables from getting tangled, so you can take them out whenever you need them, which is convenient and quick.

As entry-level noise-cancelling headphones, Sony WI-C600N has its own unique technical process in noise processing. The "NC/AMBIENT" button on the headset can turn on the digital noise reduction function with one click. The built-in AI noise reduction technology (AINC) can also intelligently analyze the noise in the surrounding environment to eliminate noise interference for you. Even in a noisy environment, you can eliminate noise to the greatest extent, create your own personal world, and enjoy the charm of music while traveling.

Sony Headphones Connect APP provides two ambient sound modes, allowing you to freely choose according to the actual situation. Normal mode will highlight the background sound of daily environment to ensure your travel safety. Voice mode reduces background noise while not letting you miss important voice reminders. Behind the considerate and user-friendly design is Sony's emphasis on user needs.

As another selling point of the product, the wireless Bluetooth function of Sony WI-C600N provides NFC one-touch connection function, which realizes a simpler wireless connection method. Equipped with Bluetooth 4.2 function, it supports SBC, AAC and apt-X Bluetooth codecs, allowing you to get rid of the constraints of cables and enjoy music and video.

After the pairing is successful, it also supports Sony's official Headphones Connect app. You can adjust the equalizer according to your preferences in the mobile app and set a customized listening plan.

From the perspective of listening to songs, WI-C600N is more delicate in the processing of pop music, and the sound quality performance is excellent. The vocal performance part is relatively stable and smooth. Compared with the 8mm dynamic unit of other headphones, the actual performance of WI-C600N's 6mm single dynamic unit is not inferior. When playing songs, there is no sense of weakness due to inadequate driving. The soft and full low-frequency performance should meet the daily needs of most users. Of course, in terms of other types of music performance, the processing effect of WI-C600N is also acceptable. After all, WI-C600N is currently the most cost-effective wireless Bluetooth noise-cancelling headset. After actual testing, WI-C600N can last for 6.5 hours with noise reduction turned on and 8 hours with noise reduction turned off. It is a very good battery life, which can basically meet the needs even if you go on a long trip.

The main experience of WI-C600N is that it is easy to store, not easy to break, and has noise reduction. The small body and special soft material determine that it does not need to be treated "gently". As an entry-level wireless Bluetooth noise-cancelling headset for commuting, WI-C600N is well-deserved for its good quality and low price. Students who are interested can pay attention to it.
