"I Tried to listen with the big ear tips and wow what a difference! I hear A LOT better. ... These are actually really nice earbuds after all.. the sound is really really clean in my opinion. ... Heard with these "never going home tonight" by alesso and David Guetta. Sound is really really clean.. ... I also think that I get more bass from the earbuds now with the big ear tips. ... Soundstage is also really really good in my opinion! ... I take back my words.. these earbuds sound absolutely amazing for the price! ... I now can hear sounds that I don't hear with my other headphones or earbuds! That's insane and I do appreciate it so much! Great great Job Sony 👍🏻"
"sound is A LOT better than the WF-C500, and even better than the WF-C700N ... the wf-c510 sound louder than the wf-c700n at the same volume on my xperia 5iii ... the normal sound out of the box is definitely better than the wf-c500 which lacks details in the highs. ... the 510 is slightly louder, maybe 5-10%. It has more detail though and sounds less muddled. More bass yes, but not much more. The advantage is that it just sounds more balanced and better imo."
"The sound quality really punches above their price range, I really wasn't expecting that amount of detail and instrument separation from these."

"They are extremely light and stable and the fit is very good. ... They will probably not fall out even if a grenade hits me. ... the fit is perfect for sports."
"In my experience they are great for running ... I tested them yesterday and I didn't have to adjust them once during my 30km run"
"They're extremely comfortable (at least for me), I use the small size tips. ... out of the ones I own, these are by far the most comfortable."

"Also, the 11 hr battery life is amazing for budget earphones with high sound quality. The $300 Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro has 7 hours of battery life WITHOUT ANC (which means its even worse with ANC turned on)"
"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."
"long battery life"

"I love the tactile buttons. They should keep that design forever. I could never get used to those newer touch gesture stuff, and I just think tactile buttons are more reliable."
"physical buttons which work great which gloves and under a beanie"
"The buttons are very responsive, so you don't have to press too hard, which can sometimes cause discomfort."

"I do agree that the mic quality is pretty good! ... I had to be on a call when outside with somewhat windy weather and cars passing by - still the person on the other end said they could hear me clearly. ... I also tried giving Siri instructions again when outside and the phone picked up my commands accurately."
"your voice will be much louder than any background noise."
"I get really good microphone quality with the Sony c510 that I got recently."

"Terrible pickup of background noise during calls! ... The call quality is decent until any other sound source than my voice appears. ... Even wind noise, office noise, driving a car by myself - it all makes the other person complain about my voice becoming almost completely blocked by background noises."
"I have this too. It's so bad. ... Like ambient sound is turned up to 11 all the time, even when it is off"

"With the c510 to get a good sound I had to change the ear tips to the large ones.. after that the sound was better for me ... Interesting, I didn't try the large ear tips yet.. maybe that was the problem with the sound and I felt them a bit loss. ... I Tried to listen with the big ear tips and wow what a difference! I hear A LOT better. These are actually really nice earbuds after all.. the sound is really really clean in my opinion. ... I take back my words.. these earbuds sound absolutely amazing for the price!"
"the audio did not convince me until that moment. ... Without them I would not have kept them"
"I don't agree with the people who wrote that the sound in the c510 is better.. the c500 have more bass which I really like and the volume is louder with the c500 as well.. I don't understand how people write things like "the sound is much better in the c510".. I really thought that the sound will be much better and it's definitely not.. ... The sound with the c510 is cleaner but less bass for me. ... I personally prefer the c500 and gave my dad the c510 after I bought it.. I wouldn't buy the c510 if I had the c500 and If I knew that earlier I wouldn't buy the c510"

"Right Earphone won’t charge so is no longer working"
"Only had mine for about a month. ... it was only sat by my bedside table with about two hours of daily use. ... be advised you’ll probably have to buy a new pair of earbuds"
