Product details

The WF-C500 fully wireless headphones from Sony: Smaller than ever before, these headphones feature a rounded design with no edges to keep you comfortable. This ensures a secure fit so you can 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.
