The Sony WF-XB700 have a mediocre set of controls. Overall, they aren’t very easy to use, and their control scheme isn’t intuitive. The left earbud controls the volume. Click it once to turn the volume up, or hold it to turn the volume down. Click the right earbud once to play/pause, twice to skip forward, three times to skip backward, or hold for 2 seconds to activate the voice assistant. Unfortunately, there’s almost no audio feedback from the controls, except for when you power the headphones on/off or pair them with a device. You also can’t remap the buttons or adjust the control scheme.
