Product details
The completely wireless WF-C500 headphones from Sony are smaller than ever and feature a rounded design without edges for a comfortable fit. This ensures that the headphones sit securely, allowing you to focus on what matters most – your music.
The DSEE technology provides an incredible listening experience. With the equalizer in the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can customize the sound to your personal preferences.
A reliable and stable Bluetooth connection transmits sound to both ears simultaneously. The low audio latency also allows for uninterrupted video enjoyment. Fast Pair for Android and Swift Pair for Windows 10 make it easy to quickly connect your Bluetooth devices.
With a single charge, you can enjoy up to 10 hours of music. The handy charging case provides an additional 10 hours, totaling up to 20 hours of listening pleasure when you leave the house. Short on time? The quick charge feature gives you an extra 60 minutes of playback time after just 10 minutes of charging.
The WF-C500 wireless headphones with microphone are also splash-resistant according to IPX4 standards, meaning that neither sweat nor rain can hold them back.

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.
This test report belongs to a different type: WF-C500 (No noise cancelling, 10 h, Wireless)
- 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.

The Sony WF-C500 are offered at an interesting market price and come in fresh colours. The app is extensive in terms of features, which may be a little overwhelming for some less technically minded users. 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.
