I have to say after using the WF-XB700 the past couple of weeks these suprise the heck out of me.
Usually anything labeled XB from Sony is inherently bloated with massive amounts of bass and warmth. But the XB700 is way more balanced sounding than even the 1000XM3. The first couple of days I was EQing down the bass but then found I didn't need to do that anymore. Now I find I sometimes tweak the mids a treble up a bit but more often than not I don't have to EQ these at all.
While I also own the LP2 I actually find myself using the XB700 more. It just has a more cohesive sound with a larger sound stage. The LP2 has more features and a better battery but the XB700 is proving adequate for my needs as I rarely run in to charging issues.
The LP2 has less mic issues though as I have had people complain there is to much background noise on phone calls sometimes.
