Sony WF-C500 Overview

From the makers of the very first in-ear headphones comes the Sony WF-C500 True Wireless In-Ear Headphones, a pair of earbuds that are made to feel like they are bespoke devices made just for you. Sony accomplished this by utilizing a huge amount of data on ear shapes from around the world, and crafting rounded, ergonomic earbuds that fit comfortably and securely.

Their seemingly customized fit works with IPX4 sweat and splash resistance to make the C500 headphones an ideal option for use when working out. With integrated communication capabilities and a generous battery life of up to 10 hours, they can be used in almost any aspect of your daily life. Even when you need to be aware of your surroundings, you can still use a single WF-C500 earbud to enjoy music, a podcast, or make a call, as it retains full functionality. Add in a charging case with up to 10 additional hours, and support for audio technologies like DSEE & 360 Reality Audio, and you have a pair of headphones that can fill your day with quality sound.
