Product details
Sony's WF-C500 fully wireless headphones: the headphones are smaller than ever before, with a rounded design and no edges for a comfortable fit. This allows for a secure fit and lets you focus on what's
important - your music. DSEE technology gives you a great listening experience. With the equalizer in the Sony | Headphones Connect app, you can adjust the sound individually and according to your preferences.
A reliable and stable Bluetooth connection transmits sound to both ears simultaneously. The low audio latency also allows for interference-free video enjoyment. Fast Pair for Android and Swift Pair for Windows 10 also ensure that you can connect your Bluetooth devices quickly and easily.
You can enjoy up to 10 hours of music on a single charge. The handy charging case makes another 10 hours possible. That means up to 20 hours of listening pleasure when you leave the house. No time? The quick charge function gives you another 60 minutes of playback time after just 10 minutes. The WF-C500 wireless headphones with microphone are also IPX4 splash-proof, which means neither sweat nor rain can slow them down.

Overall ratingGood79/100
Good69/100
The compact in-ear offers a clear backdrop, which, however, shows weaknesses in the lower frequencies. For this price range, however, this is bearable.
- Good sound
- high wearing comfort
- Simple operation
- Moderate app
- Only three essays
- Charging socket looks cheap
If you can do without noise-cancelling and app bells and whistles, you'll be happy with the WFC500. They deliver the best price-performance ratio in the test and, together with the Elite 3, the best sound in this price range. Wearing comfort and operation are also pleasing.

- Excellent running and charging time

- IPX4 splash water protection

The compatibility with 360 Reality Audio is a nice additional feature, but the fact that this feature is only available with some streaming services and then only in a limited selection of available...

- Battery power
- IPX4
- Weight
- Not a fan of "push buttons
- Charging tray
The battery life without charging cradle is probably the best feature of the C500, which helps the final consideration. They are perfectly acceptable headphones for this price. Overall, however, the verdict is similar to that of the Oppo Enco Air: if you can expect such an increase in performance for 20 to 25 francs more (Enco 2, FreeBuds 4), then you should seriously consider it.
