The verdict

With so many other great options available at this price point, the Sony WF-SP800N is too finicky for me to recommend to anyone. Sure, Sony 360 Reality Audio is super cool, but this isn't the only headset with full compatibility. Plus, it shouldn't be the main selling point for a pair of workout earbuds.
