Sony - WF-C710N Truly Wireless Noise Canceling Earbuds

Sony-wf710n. On week #2 coming from Jabra elite 8 actives. Very similar fit but lighter. Great replacement and only at 100$ us .

EDIT::: I went with the sony 710's.. theyre great. I gotta get used to earbuds again, but they actually fit (me) a lot better than reviewers led me to believe they would. Title says it all. I work outside, and am looking for a pair of earbuds that have transparency mode built in so I can still regularly hear other people.. ANC isnt a must, if transparency is available through open-backed earbuds? idk anything about earbuds, I usually just wear headphones. BUT, being at work, outside, I cant risk ruining my XM5 over-ear headphones, and theyre just too bulky. I would like to keep it around $100, while making sure theyre wireless, will last through the workday, (up to 10 hours) and I will still have the ability to hear other people... They will mostly be used for phonecalls and listening to music (of course) while working. I would prefer to not have to take them out constantly, or only wear one, so I would like to make sure I can still hear whats going on around me, clearly. Speakerphone isnt working lmao. Theres always a chance I get to the point I just buy the xm5 earbuds, but I would like to try to keep them much more budget-friendly, and much more capable to the elements, as they will be worn rain or shine, snow, freezing, etc. And I dont want to risk that... TLDR; trying to keep em around $100, need to be fairly weatherproof, decent to good sound-quality, and a good transparency mode, or no ANC but somehow have the ability to hear other people clearly.

I bought them at launch on Amazon for around INR 5.3k . For that price, I would say it is really worth it, especially if you own other sony products and want them to work together and have combined metrics. I own xm5 and am a fan of their adaptive sound control, and that is why i went with sony buds. In terms of sound, I would say they are pretty well-rounded (but I didn't like it) . I use wavelet equalizer and I should say they sound really awesome. I would say you could pay max. 6k for them. I own 710NSA variant. From what I have read, SA just means South Asia. I have even registered my product on Sony website and it was just fine. Don't worry about the variant. I guess N and NSA variants get manufactured at different locations

Great in non-noisy environment, not so good in noisy conditions.

Sony wf-c710n. Impressive input latency, especially compared to Buds FE I was using before. Also just look at them. https://preview.redd.it/qa86wfjhfb5f1.jpeg?width=4624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2debb4d0130f4d888cf6cda49fdd648ddb9392fe

Recently bought Bose QC Earbuds (the recent version, not the old QC nor QCII) and I am overwhelmed by the quality of sound and ANC. I've been particularly looking for something that sounds decently but will not break the bank either. So during the recent Amazon days I tried Apple Airpods 4 and Pro 2, Beats Studio+, Bose QC, Sony WF c710, and Creative Aurvana Ace 2. Firstly, one certainly really needs to try the earbuds before buying. I found all the rankings and reviews to be way disconnected from how the earbuds actually sound. Awards, Editor's Choices and all that PR has nothing to do with the actual product. From the models I tried, only Airpods Pro 2 were close to Bose QC. Marketed Beats, Creative Aurvana with the innovative driver, Sony, all sounded worse than my 7 year old Phillips 2515 earbuds which I bought for $25 on sale long time ago. Bose QC play lows and highs clearly, there is a sense of immersion in the music, I could actually hear the singer's breath and the detail of the song (I used the same song to test all the earbuds). Again, the only earbud which has comparable quality of sound was Airpof Pro 2. Same with the noise cancellation function. Beats QC turned off the noise instantly. Only Apple (both Airpods 4 and Pro 2) had comparable ANC, although I think Bose was slightly better. But the difference between Bose and Apple's ANC is negligeble. Comfort of wearing earbuds also differs, but this is idiosyncratic and is another reason why we should be able to try erabuds before buying (a lot of stores do not allow you to return earbuds unfortunately, so it could be hit or miss). I found Bose to be comfortable enough although not perfect. Yet, I value their sound quality more. Overall: \- Bose makes surprisingly good earbuds in mid-price range. \- So many brands just sell mediocre earbuds at $100+ prices, and reviews are not really helpful, which makes me sad. \- Please try earbuds before buying them or writing reviews. They are soo different. Some are great, many are not. I'm glad I found mine.

This is why I now spend less on earbuds. I can technically afford $200-300 earbuds, but if they’re not lasting much longer than the warranty period, I decided I’m not going to waste my money. Praying for long life to my current pair of Sony WF-C710Ns!

I have the wr-c710n. Love them. Best buds I've owned and super comfortable.

I daily bose quietcomfort 2024  without the fin tips, sound stage before and after setting the  eq  is equally awesome. Top ten best earbud anc ever. Only twice experienced connectivity issues, when I took buds out too quickly to wear, like it didn't register I took the buds out of the case. Only twice it happened. Coming from Samsung buds 2 Pro, SMTW 3, Sony wfc710n, this is the best earbuds I have used. I really get so sound details in movie watching, music listening 

Never tried those. They look to be ok, but it’s an older model from a big brand, so it’s missing features that every other earbud I listed has, like ANC, low latency mode, better call quality, and there are some reliability issues mentioned, like people’s buds dying after a month. But the sound quality might be good, the new Sony C710n came out and I tried it and it has really good sound quality. That’s a more expensive bud tho.

The urge to not buy WF-710N because of having WF-700N a month before 710 release is really high, it goes through the roof

I really dig that transparent blue, tho i think sound quality wise it would be some but not too much improvement, and that’s okay because it already sounded really good

I have a pair of Jabra Elite 4 from 3 years ago that is hands down the best ANC I've tried so far. But they are getting old, Jabra exited the earbud market so support is scarce (they don't seem to be recognized by their app anymore.) so I'm looking for replacements. I tried the Sony WF-XM5s and Sony WF-C710N and despite both being well reviewd I personally found the audio profile in both to not be to my liking and the ANC to be weak enough to not even really be useful. Honestly it's kind of insane to me how well reviewed the XM5s because for the money they weren't worth it IMO. I've liked JLab stuff in the past so I tried JLab JBuds Pods ANC & JLab Epic Lab Edition and while I found the audio in both to be to my taste the ANC in the JBuds wasn't very good and the Epic Lab was better but still not as good as the 3 year old Jabra. I tried the Creative Aurvana Ace 2 based on Soundguys review and while the audio was good and the ANC was ok they arrived defective and started All 5 pairs I've tried also had a case that was awkward to get the earbuds out of them. I use an Android phone so I have no desire for Apple Airpods. What other options are there out there with good ANC?

I got them a few days ago. The sound is a bit better than C500, but that's about it. The ANC is useless, you can hear pretty much everything. I didn't expect it to be great either since these are budget earbuds, but I can't understand the praise the ANC gets in reviews. They're better than the C500, but not "upgrade" material. I wouldn't buy them "again", that's for sure.

You're welcome. Yeah, the blue one is really cool, that's one of the few things I like about them.

Had the old version of these and thought they were remarkable for the price, now I have overpriced AirPod pros (latest gen) and regretting the switch

Interesting, I have had no issues running with them so far. Only done 3 runs so far but have not had a time I was concerned they would fall out.

The Earfun Earbuds seem to be good. I use the older Earfun Air 1, but the sound quality on calls is really good. Their stem design seems to help. Their new model is the Earfun Air Pro 4 and Air 2. I have gotten really nice sound quality with the Sony c510. They released the Linkbuds Fit and the c710 in the last 6 months that both sound good. Jabra decided to concentrate on hearing aids, but their models like the Jabra Active 8 or Jabra Elite 5 do well with the microphone.

I have got the Sony c510. They lack anc, but the seal blocks a lot of noise. Good app included as well as ambient mode. The Sony c710 seems to have improved the ANC over the c700. If you don't need something immediately, I think they will start going on sale more often. I would also consider the Earfun Air Pro 4. It has good/very good ANC for less than 75.00. myearfun site had a sale until sometime tonight, but I don't know when it ends. Soundcore Liberty 4nc is good too.

The Sony c510 and c710 are a really good value. I have the c510. One thing that I like is that it does the basic well. Sound is good if like some clean bass mixed in. They connect to everything that I use on the first attempt. I have a Windows 11 laptop, but it connects to all platforms (I don't know about Xbox or the Sony PS). It has good multipoint connects and good ambient mode for doing stuff outside. 510 lacks ANC but 710 gives you that.

I think this is a good choice. I picked up the c510 in January. They really have a nice sound to them with the typical Sony signature sound. It sounds like the c710 sounds a bitter better (although difference is small). Their newest version of the Connect app is good, and the microphone is good on both these midpriced models. The ANC is a bit better too. It is not amazing, but it is pretty similar to the Linkbuds Fit. So, I think it is a solid pickup. Have really enjoyed both the c510 and Earfun Air 2 that I picked this year.

Loving my glass blue WF-C710N, amazing quality for a budget price point. I've never used an ANC earbuds before so this feels premium. Before this I was using skull candy JIB true for almost 3 years. The WF-C710N smoked them. The features I love the most are the ANC and multi point connection. The auto pause when you take out one side of earbud is also a nice feature to have. I cannot wait to see how these earbuds will perform in a flight.

A small detail I noticed is that you can differentiate between the left and right earbuds by a dot located on the top surface of the left earbud.

For the price, the ANC is amazing to me. I can't imagine the ANC quality on high end Sony products.

It's gorgeous

I got a new glass blue wf-c710n. Very beautiful, sounds amazing too!

But the c710 shouldn't be in that price in my country they go for 130$ so i think those might be used

If they aren't used get them because that's insane value

Picked up a pair a few days ago. Sound is much better than the Elite 7 Pros and so is the Noise cancelation. Have no issues recommending them.

Have made a call once with these and had no complaints. Recipient wasn't exactly tech-savvy, so when asked, they said it sounds "fine and clear".

own this for 2 weeks now, not suitable for running or for someone that sweats a lot during sports activities, easily slipped off.

I've tried swapping the size of eartip to ensure this is not slipped off, but I guess this can't handle sweats and waterclogged. but sound quality and ANC is great for a decent price!

I'm also disapppointed in the ANC, it doesn't filter anything out. Got them after I lost my Jabra Elite 5 with personalized ANC and it's a downgrade unfortunately...

I would be careful with optimism. MSRP was 200€ a year ago, but it has been discounted to 99€ for a couple of months now. I wonder if they were really par with other earphone within the original range. Anyway, I ordered a pair two days ago. We'll see in a few days if it was worth the risk. I almost ordered WF-C710N. While they may not excel in music quality, they seem to be pretty solid piece of reliable tech. Unfortunately no AptX. Sony tend to make "fun" sound profile, and I wanted something more neutral for the vocals.

So I am unaware if my ears are small or not, but I own both and can tell you, the WF-C710N are just a tad bigger in size, we are talking millimetres here, like 2-3 in certain dimensions. The WF-C710N have less weight on paper, but the difference is not really noticeable in real life. For me, the WF-1000XM5 fit better in my ears but both are comfortable for long listing sessions. As good as the WF-C710N sound, the WF-1000XM5 still sound better, especially the bass and highs. The noise cancellation is superior on the WF-1000XM5. But in both, the ANC will vary depending if you get a proper seal in the ear canal. The WF-1000XM5 also has LDAC and LC3 support if you require these. The WF-C710N does have the proximity sensor for auto play/pause which is really nice. A touch sensor as well for controls, I prefer versus the physical button on the wf-c700n. Another option is the Linkbuds S, but they a bit old now and there were battery issues. The linkbuds fit (don't own them), seem to be more oriented for exercise and movement, as they have additional rubber pieces to keep them in place in the ears. They also use a different eartip versus the WF-C710 and WF-1000XM5, and don't enter the ear canal as much, which does have some affect on the noise cancellation according to various owners I have spoken to. forgot to add. the wf-1000xm5 does have a shinny plastic exterior which can be slippery when holding them. The wf-c710n have a matte finish which is have more grip, except the see thru blue model.

they are actually quite small compared to other Sony earbuds. I do believe the linkbuds S are smaller though. are they actually 130 euros? Seems a bit much no? The newer model WF-C710N is around 100 euros, they seem to be on sale right now, 89 euros, at least in germany. Not sure where you are located. The WF-C710N are bigger in size than the WF-C710N, but they offer dual NC mics, and better sound quality. I own both, so I have compared them. I have used the WF-C710N for extended periods of time, and they are very comfortable. Obviously this information is of no use to you as your ears are different to mine. I can take a photo of both the wf-c700n and wf-c710n beside each other if you wish to compare their sizes.

I'll say this, wf-c700n is smaller and sit very comfortably in my ears. The WF-C710N is noticeably bigger but they are small enough that they don't bother me. Are you able to go and see them in person at a store?

Personally, no headphones are comfortable for workouts since they cover so much surface area. Get earbuds instead. Get the in the ear ones, not say the AirPod type that merely dangle and fall off even when you walk around. I just ordered a pair of WF-C710N to replace the pair of XB-700 from 5 years ago that are finally starting to fail. https://amzn.to/4nRJgua

I got noise canceling Sony ear buds. I love them except the default sound mode is ambient sound so they need to be switched to noise canceling every time.

I went with the WF-C710N I didn’t want to spend a lot on them. I haven’t been disappointed.

I recently replaced my my failed Sony WF-1000XM4 with a pair of WF-C710N. Very pleased with them.

Same, but wfc710n is missing the in app find my bud feature, also the case feels abit flimsy(lid move side to side when closed).

Of the choices, I have tried the Sonys (the 700n model with buttons) and they have ANC and sound as good as their linkbuds S. Also in the price range is the Soundcore Space A40s which have surprisingly good sound and ANC for their price.

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 work fine with both devices. You even have multipoint, which allows you to connect to multiple devices with the same earbuds. I have the first Gen Pixel Buds Pro and they're great.

how are the ambient sound features in earbuds other than airpods pro 2? Just got them and this is the feature I like the most, more than sound quality and noise cancellation. I would like to know if others have similar or better quality environmental sound reproduction. My last non-airpod earbuds were the galaxy buds 1 and they were definitely NOT good in that sense.

I have airpod pros too. They work for me. I usually only wear earphones on the train, flying, at work or at the gym. The noise cancellation is enough for my daily life.

AirPods Pro 2 aren't listed but are awesome and super comfy for long periods. I use them with my Samsung phone. Sony's earbuds are also very good. Anker typically performs well for their price, but are not the "best". I haven't been impressed with Jabra and find Beats to be lower performing in terms of audio quality.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are also a great choice if you really need top-tier noise cancelling. They’re a little more comfortable for long periods, but in terms of pure ANC power, Sony edges them out slightly. Both will do an awesome job on those low-pitch sounds that most earplugs can’t touch.
