"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."
"each earbud last about 10hrs by itself ... I only have one in at a time."
"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."

"COZ THEIR CALL QUALITY IS FUCKING TRASH ... the other side hears the breeze around me more significantly louder than my voice!! ... If im using wfxm4 and cf500 and a call gets in, i have to turn off the buds"
"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."
Sony wfc500 at around 4k. Everything is very good about it
r/IndiaTech • Recommend some decent wireless earphones ->Agree, I have these also as my back ups Solid, but personally I'd try push 40 quid budget and get Sony cf-500 I think they called. I have physical job and these are by far the best, battery, sound quality, ear fit, and user ability (good button to control/switch song/answer phone) I think they go on sale 40 to 50 depending how lucky, usually 60 plus quid I think
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->Still use my WF-C500s
r/gadgets • Sony WF-C710N review: More than midrange ->[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09FKGJ1CB?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09FKGJ1CB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) I got these a year back. they are great. Decent sound quality, durable and last a fair while. Only 50 quid too.
r/AskBrits • Best wireless earbuds for a maximum budget of £250? ->Shokz is good but I don't like the sound, for ultrarunning I want to be able to shut off the outside world and listen to some 'good' music. Sony WF-C500/WF-C510 have been my go to, they cost between 30-50€ for a pair, seem to withstand heavy rain and sweat, sound OK (a lot better than bone conducting like Shokz) and most importantly they last 10 hours on a charge.
r/ultrarunning • The best RUNNING HEADPHONEs that you use+recommend buying? ->also had them, they are pretty good. I upgraded to the c700n and they are worth the extra bit of money
r/NewSkaters • earphones/earbuds recommendation? ->I've had WF-C500s for a couple of years now, and I use them for genuinely about 6 hours a day. The batteries are great, they fit my ears better than most, the controls are well-tuned, and they've always sounded great. I spent £30 on them from HMV and it might be the best value for money I've ever got. When or if they ever need replacing, it will be Sony WF-C's I replace them with, so I'm glad to see that the newer models are just as good value
r/gadgets • Sony WF-C710N review: More than midrange ->Almost got the WF-1000XM5s when I thought I had finally lost my WF-C500s for good but have had a few pairs of Sony earbuds now. My Pixel 8 hasn't been cooperating well with my earbuds, if the hardware settings with all Sony earbuds are anything alike. It's generally hard to detect and 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.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I have the Sony WF-C500, I've barely used them with the Deck because I haven't really needed to but they did work great with no issues.
r/SteamDeck • What Earbuds do you use ->If you liked the Jabra Elite 3, I’d say the closest all-around upgrade under $100 is the Soundcore Space A40. It’s got a balanced tuning with punchy bass, really compact shells that sit comfortably even on smaller ears, and a marathon battery life. If you want something super lightweight and simple, the Sony WF-C500 is a great option, very comfortable, clean sound, and no unnecessary frills. But if you want to stick with what you know, the Jabra Elite 4 is basically the natural successor to the Elite 3, with a similar fit and sound signature plus a few extras like multipoint and app EQ. Personally, I’d lean A40 first, WF-C500 if comfort is your top priority, and Elite 4 if you just want to stay in the Jabra ecosystem. And before you decide, try checking out the tuning on [audiotones.co](http://audiotones.co), it’s a handy way to get a feel for how these sets sound before you buy.
