The verdict

For most listeners, the YH-E700A offers decent comfort, stable connectivity, and aptX Adaptive. Odd is the tendency for almost every function to alter the frequency response. The ANC is disappointing, especially for the price.

✓What we like
✓aptX Adaptive, AAC, SBC
✓Wired option
✓Comfortable for most
✓Long battery life
✕What could be better
✕App is sparse
✕ANC is not good
✕Most functions turn up bass
