The Sony WF-C500 earbuds were announced by the Japanese company as its new entry-level model to compete in the fast-paced market for wireless headphones.
These headphones arrive to replace the Sony WF-XB700 , keeping their oval case with translucent cover. However, the new model presents a number of important differences compared to its predecessor, including a reduction in cost and improved autonomy .
Sony claims that the battery life has been increased from 9 to 10 hours of constant use, and from 18 to 20 hours if you include recharging through the carrying case. In addition, they have opted for a more compact and conservative design for the WF-C500.
