Bought these in the Prime Day sale. Great value. Easy to operate and hook up to my iPad and phone. Used them to listen to commentaries at cricket matches. The charge lasts well and sound quality is good. Very happy.
Really good.
Make sure to try the different size supplied buds, as that makes a huge difference to fit/seal and sound quaility.
Super comfortable, and light weight….maybe not as good sound quality as ‘phones that cost 200, But I really don’t feel like I need anything better, unless you really need ANC…
..these block your ears pretty well so I don’t feel the need for ANC.
To be honest any bluetooth connection is going to be a compromise on sound quality over a hard wired headphone, so I don’t see the need to spend more, these are a really good all-round package.
Best wireless headphones I’ve ever had! Comfortable, look good. And the battery! I work 8 hours shifts and that time barely puts a dent in the battery life! Bought them on a deal and would definitely buy them agai
Light weight , comfortable to wear ,good quality sound at a great price. I use them for my gym sessions. I have small ears & these fit & don’t hurt. Sound is Sony grea
These are really great ear buds, especially for the price. Very comfy to wear at the gym and when walking.
Sound quality is fab and the battery life is grea
Always find the sound quality from Sony earphones and headphones so good especially when it comes to price against other more fashionable brands such as Beats. These certainly don’t disappoint. Also note that any other people like me who find Apples EarPods don’t fit them these are a much better alternative
As earphones are made for music, is all that matters and for the asking price you’ll get plenty of natural sound!
The sound is light and clear. Good frequency separation and response. If track has sub bass you will hear it. Mids are clear and not overlayed with bass which is great in my opinion. Treebles sound clear and not overwhelming. Sound stage is wide enough to hear difference in instruments placement. All of this makes WF-C500 great for long listening sessions.
I have a pair of Dali IO-6 headphones and I have to admit those little Sony sound very close to Dali, as they both are on the light side sound wise and surprisingly WF-C500 outperform Dali in terms of less obvious in head sound effect if you now what I mean.
They do have no ANC so not the great option if you planning to use them mainly in the city but on other side if you often using transparency mode, you’ll get similar effect naturally )
Overall the best headphones within their price and even compared to more expensive models.
The battery life on them is incredible and way outlast my partners AirPods.
They have great background noise suppression and are fantastic for public transport and blocking out the environment around you. – something I’ve never gotten from an in ear wireless earphone.
The only downside to these are they sound muffled when using them to make calls, it can be hard for the person on the other end of the phone to hear me.
Overall I would still say these are well worth it.
My first pair of Bluetooth earbuds. Finally took the plunge after years of chorded earphones. I have quite small ears so have trouble getting earphones/buds to stay in my ears!
I’ve found these to be reasonably comfortable and do stay put while walking about (haven’t worn while running). I’m pleased with the sound quality. The charge lasts quite well. These are charged through the case. The only thing I thought was that the case seems a little cheap/light.
Overall I’m happy with them.
Excellent headphones, easy to use. Connection is good every time.
Only fault is you can’t skip songs back, pressing 3 times like it says doesn’t work.
All the other controls work perfectly though.
I own some sound cancelling headphones, and while I would put these in the same ballpark, they’re absolutely what I was after.
Good sound quality. Bass is…variable, but possibly depends on the source quality.
The headphones are excellent. Perfect clear 360 sound. But I ordered these second hand from here in Amazon and they arrived without any rubber parts that go inside your ears. I can’t figure out how to report this issue so I’m putting it here – if someone reaches out to me to solve the problem I’ll update to five stars.
I was reluctant to go “full-wireless, as I have multiple wired headsets and earphones, but I bit the bullet & bought these mid-range items, with which I am very pleased. They do not have noise cancelling, but now I’ve selected the correct size ear pieces, I can happily listen to music/podcasts etc whilst on a train or in other noisy environments. The sound quality is absolutely fine for me.
The battery life is OK, but not spectacular, but that’s no big deal.
200 earbuds were not for me, but these Sony items at 50 were the sweet spot for price, quality (both sound and build) & vfm.
Decent wireless headphones, brought them on sale and happy with the quality for the price. Would not pay full price seeing the quality however the sound is good they are easy to use and are comfortable.
I had a pair of One Plus one Z buds before the right ear stopped working. I decided to look around and see what earphones were on offer and these came up. I wasn’t too fussed that they weren’t noise cancelling, as previously I barely used it on my old earphones, but let me tell you. Even though they don’t have this feature once you put these earphones in and put the volume half way you can barely hear your surroundings, there amazing for cancelling nosie. A bit too good in my opinion.
They fit really well and can barely notice them in my ear, super comfortable. The buttons are nice and the click is satisfying and not cheap. The case it soild, I do a bit of DIY and have dropped the case a few times over 2 meters and not a scratch or problem.
So far I’m really enjoying these headphones. I bought them predominantly to listen to podcasts whilst I’m out walking the dog, but now I have them I will almost certainly use them to listen to music whilst I work out at the gym.
They paired very easily with my phone and the sound quality seems good. I wore them on a walk today and it was very windy but I could still hear my podcast clearly.
I did consider buying a cheaper set but I’m pleased that I opted for a more expensive pair and a trusted brand.
I bought these to replace a pair of Bose Sport earbuds, that finally died out of warranty. I felt aggrieved of buying another set of Bose earbuds, having had two sets of earbuds fail on me in 4 years (in contrast to their over ear headphones which seemingly last forever). Unfortunately, the earbud market seems to have moved on, so that every bud offers noise cancelling (which hurts my ears and isn’t great for running), so I was limited in choice for earbuds without cancelling. Fortunately, after a bit of research, I found these old Sony buds.
The first things I noticed were the lack of wing tips to keep the buds securely in your ears (concerning), the small size of the case (fantastic), and when I put them in my ears, the rubbish sound quality (disappointing). I thought that I may have made a mistake. Fortunately, after a bit of learning to trust the earbuds, I found that they never fell out of my ears, even when running. The case size meant that I got even more use out of the buds, they now go everywhere with me. And most importantly, when I got myself set up on the Sony app for the earbuds, there was an excellent tool (a bit like an optician test where they say, do you prefer sound style 1, 2, or 3, then keep narrowing it down) that allows you to fine tune how the earbuds sound. They now sound great.
There are still compromises, especially as (on sale at 45) these buds cost about a quarter of the Bose buds. But I can take things like poorer call quality, microphones, etc.
