"10hr battery life is hard to beat."
"where they really shine is battery life. ... I charge the case on the weekends and listen anywhere from 9-11 hours a day. ... I only wear one at work, so on the odd days I work over 11 hours and get the “battery low” signal, I just pop in the other one."
"I prefer the 500 for the battery life ... They last a long I’ve got a pair 3 years that still hold a charge and work fine."

"the c500 have more bass which I really like and the volume is louder with the c500 as well.. ... if you like more bass with the music like me that the c500 is the better pair ... the bass is better in the c500 ... The c500 gives more bass ... The c500 are a bit louder but the c510 do sound load enough for me and I'm a person who listen at max volume a lot!"
"I like it because of how loud it gets. ... I don't want to compromise on volume"

"mic is okay-ish, can’t really whisper with them so you have to talk as loud as if they’re 4 feet away. ... Alright if you live alone but not so cool if you live with others."
"if mic quality is also a non-negotiable for you, I'm not sure if Sony's earbuds are up to speed with having an audible mic."

"the hiss on the wf-c500 is not great and a definite negative, this hiss is absent on the wf-c510. the hiss is what made people return the wf-c500. ... the 500 has hiss which is noticeable for some, I can hear it."
"weird noises sometimes, whines, pops"
"I think that the hissing problem fixed with the c510 ... I actually didn't feel the hiss until I saw some asmr videos with the c500 and then I noticed the hiss a lot.. ... for music it didn't bother me at all personally.. ... Also need to say that the hiss problem with the c500 solved with the c510 that has no hiss."
