Features



Small size, uncompromising sound

Our WF-C500 truly wireless earbuds are designed compact to fit snugly in your ear. aut don't let their size fool you. They deliver high quality sound that's rich in detail, thanks to DSEE technology, which restores fine fade-out sound and high
frequency sound. These Bluetooth headphones are smartphone-friendly too and very easy to use.

 

More delightful listening experience

With our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE), high frequency sound and fine fade-out sound are restored to the track for a more authentic listening experience. You can also tailor music to your own taste using the EQ setting on the
Sony Headphones Connect app.

 

Make your music more natural

When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that add detail and richness to a track. Our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) faithfully restores these to produce high-quality sound that's closer to the original recording.

 

Your sound, just how you like it

Tailor sound to your personal preference. Choose from a variety of presets to match sound quality with the genre of music you're listening to. Or create and save your own presets using the EQ Custom feature on the Sony Headphones Connect app.

 

Small and light, a great fit

Designed small, these buds fit securely and comfortably in your ears. The rounded shape without edges makes them a pleasure to wear, leaving you free to focus on what matters - your music.

 

Ergonomic Surface Design

Since introducing the world's first in-ear headphones in 1982 (MDR-E252), we've surveyed huge amounts of data relating to ear shapes from around the world. The WF-C500 headphones are the product of that research, combining a shape that matches the ear cavity with a new ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit.

 

Go anywhere, pocket-sized case

The cylindrical charging case is extremely small and easy to carry around in a pocket or bag so you can take your earbuds everywhere you go. Its translucent lid with a texture like frosted glass gives the case a stylish, luxurious look and feel.*1

 

Easy button operation

The buttons on the WF-C500 headphones not only let you play, stop, or skip through tracks and adjust the volume - they also offer an easy way to access your smartphone's voice assistant and make and receive calls hands-free.

 

Easier, clearer hands-free calling

Conversation flows freely with easy hands-free calling, now clearer than ever with a high-quality built-in microphone. You won't even have to take your phone out of your pocket.

 

Voice Assistant compatible

One simple button press connects you instantly to your smartphone's voice assistant so you can find directions, play music, communicate with contacts and so much more.*2

 

Find your headphones easily with Fast Pair

Fast Pair makes it easy to pair your headphones with your Android™ devices. In one tap of pop-up guidance, the WF-C500 enables quick, effortless Bluetooth® pairing with your Android™ devices. Also, you can easily locate where you left your headphones by ringing them or checking their last known location on your smartphone.

Connect to your PC easily with Swift Pair

Swift Pair makes it quick and easy to pair your WF-C500 headphones with your Windows 10 computer via Bluetooth®. Pop-up pairing guidance appears on nearby Windows 10 devices when pairing mode is selected.

Listen all day, charge in minutes

Enjoy up to 20 hours of listening thanks to the handy charging case.*3 And if you need to top up in a hurry, 10 minute quick charging gives you up to an hour of extra play time.*4

Splashes and sweat, no problem

With an IPX4*5 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won't stop these headphones - so you can keep on moving to the music.

One earbud, ideal for multitasking

If you want to listen to your music while still being able to have a conversation, remove one earbud only from the charging case and use as normal.*6

Stable, reliable Bluetooth® connectivity

A Bluetooth® chip, which transmits sound to left and right ears simultaneously, coupled with optimised antenna design, ensures a stable connection and outstanding listening. Low audio latency makes for enjoyable viewing too.

 

So immersive. So real.

Immerse yourself in sound all around you. As real as if you are there at a live concert or with the artist recording in a studio. With 360 Reality Audio, music has never been so immersive and so real. These headphones let you enjoy 360 Reality Audio.*7

 

Sustainability in mind

Our products are not only designed to be stylish but also with the environment in mind. No plastic is included in the packaging material for the WF-C500, reflecting Sony's commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our products and practices. *8

Great product, long life battery, good for exercise

Really great product, and at a reasonable price.

The skipping songs, pause, play features are great and simple. Much clearer and easy to manage than other wireless headphones.

Haven't tried them underwater (don't know that I ever will), but used them for exercise, no issue whatsoever with them falling out or coming loose.
Comes with multiple bud sizes so your ears will be comfortable. Much prefer these than over-ear headphones

Have had them a few weeks now and haven't had to recharge the case/buds yet!

Highly recommended

Solid set of buds!

These are great wee earphones. Very comfortable and secure fit, and comes with multiple size tips.
Sound quality is good, but may not be your cup of tea if you prefer bass heavy tracks.
Case is solid, but doesn't have a "premium" feel. Battery life hasn't been an issue. Only recharged the case a couple of times in the 3 weeks of using these daily.
Very easy to connect initially, and then subsequent pairing is quick
Would recommend!

Outstanding Audio Quality & Comfortable

Suitably impressed! Fantastic sound quality and comfortable in my ears. Great base after a bit of experimentation with the EQ on the app and getting the right fit. No ANC (but didn't need it) and only downside is no transparency mode so you have to take them out to hear a conversation. If you're after wireless earbuds with great sound quality for a low price get these!

Really good sound

I've not yet tried it on phone calls, but it's great for watching Netflix on my PC, the pause button is very helpful and although it doesn't have noise blocking I barely notice external noise sources while I'm using them so I'm very happy.
