You can have specific settings for home, work, school, gym and any other place you want. When these earbuds were announced, Sony also revealed that this feature would now adjust itself based on your location. With the WF-SP800N, that Adaptive Sound Control has become even more powerful.

This feature is basically smart noise cancellation that automatically adjusts the active noise cancellation (ANC) and ambient sound level based on your activity: Staying, Walking, Running or Transport. The Headphones app also allows you to employ Sony’s powerful Adaptive Sound Control that we enjoyed on both the WH-1000XM3 and WF-1000XM3 (and other models). You’ll also have to decide if you want Google Assistant or Alexa access too, so you really do have to be selective here. There are no onboard volume options out of the box, and to get them, you’ll have to sacrifice some of those other functions. By default, track controls are on the right side, with ambient sound, noise cancellation and Quick Attention mode on the left.

It’s also where you can reconfigure the onboard touch controls to suit your needs. Here, you’re able to do basic things like manually adjust the EQ or select from a smattering of sound presets. Unlike Sony’s other new true wireless model, the WF-XB700, the WF-SP800N does work with the company’s handy Headphones app.
