Just got the Sony WF-CH710N and tried it out. Ambient sound is surprisingly good for what it costs. Might be worth a look.
Love my pair transparent blue with great sound and noise cancelation.
WF-C710N is a great choice, love my pair in blue glass $80 bucks right now.
Buddy I had the same issue. I am very picky and felt like all the earbuds I tried were too shallow. I just got a pair of Sony WF-C710. And they fit me PERFECTLY. They’re a little large but the stem has a great length and plug feeling.
sony c710 cuz they were on sale 😂
Sony-wf710n. On week #2 coming from Jabra elite 8 actives. Very similar fit but lighter. Great replacement and only at 100$ 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
Maybe consider adding Sony WF-C710N to your list.
I bought some yesterday. The sound is good but the build quality feels very, very cheap especially for a 100E piece of kit. I'm not super happy but i will continue to test.
