Sony WF-C500 Truly Wireless In-Ear Bluetooth Earbud Headphones with Mic and IPX4 water resistance, Black

Buds are working but charging case is not working

I received used earbuds. The box was open and earbuds covered with earwax and dirt. Highly unhygienic to use.

you can't use it for call , there is a lot of noise only music and even though not perfect quality.

This product is used product and whenever we got that time not seal pack product

Good only for music ..not for calls

The good: - the sound is excellent, arguably better than my well loved Sony WH-CH710N headphones, which was a pleasant surprise - they are extremely comfortable to wear, even for small ears like mine, which was surprising - the noise isolation (not cancelling) is top notch, around as good as some noise cancelling systems on cheap earbuds - the buttons are large and easy to press, but still firm enough that you can wear a hat over them and still not accidentally press them - it supports the Sony headphones app, which is a well polished app whereyou can easily customize the sound however you want - battery life is more than a casual listener would ever need - case is fairly small, well built and easy to use The less good: - no noise cancelling, which is found in most earbuds around this price point to varying degrees. I get it, stuffing a NC system in an earbud is hard and sony doesn’t want to have to cut corners, but it would be nice to have - no awareness mode, the isolation is good enough that it’s difficult to hear someone talking next to you even with no music playing. Suffering from success I guess - they are fairly large earbuds. They are surprisingly comfortable (the first earbuds I’ve had with no stability fins/tiny size that fit well) but they can get fatiguing to wear for extended periods of time, especially smaller ears. Your ears will get used to them pretty quickly though. - the case feels a little cheap, the lid mechanism is made of a kind of flexible rubber mastic. It is also a clear lid, so anytime either the earbuds or the case is charging it will glow red from the LEDs inside. - there are only 3 ear tip sizes, the smallest ones fit well for me but I’m sure there are people out there who will not be so lucky. Overall, amazing earbuds so far. Provided longevity is good (which is why I went with Sony from my experience with their audio equipment before) I have no real complaints. What they did do in this earbud they did extremely well. Easy 5 stars for me.

I ordered these earbuds because I wanted a quality set of earbuds that weren't a cheap throwaway pair after a year but didn't want to drop the coin on a set of Apple or Bose earbuds. Sony has a good rep in the consumer electronics space and after doing a little research outside of Shamazon, I decided I would give the WF-C500's a shot. A few things I like about these specific buds. 1. Fitment - they fit in my ears well and they stay in my ears without causing hot spots or pain points. 2. Battery life - I can't give you a precise number, but I can use these earbuds throughout the day and even into the night and still have some battery life in the morning. 3. Sound - These specific earbuds I use primarily for listening to Audible audiobooks, so I don't need an eardrum ticking base or eye-watering treble highs, that said I did test these out with a few of my favorite artists - Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, AC/DC, old Van Halen, Vivaldi, the usual stuff we all listen to and in each style of music, I was very pleased, it was accurately represented within the context of having a half thimble-sized device stuck in my ear. Win. I also use these for phone calls, when someone calls and interrupts my audiobook, and I've always gotten good feedback from the other person on the call, in terms of clarity, volume of voice, and even outdoors, the wind management seemed to not negatively impact my call. 4. Earbud controls - There is a pro/con to the way you control these earbuds. I'll flat-out tell you I am not a fan of the touch-sensitive earbuds. I have big hand and rarely do I touch it in the way it wants to be touched and I end up hanging up on someone while I'm trying to turn up the volume or whatever the case is. The WF-C500's are more of a button-press kind of thing. It's tactile - you know exactly what your finger is doing when it's doing it because of that tactile feedback. I freaking love that. Super-duper simple!! So what's the con Shawshank? Glad you asked. It's probably a horrible habit but I use one of the earbuds when I go to sleep. Usually an audiobook, might be some Ludovico Einaudi, or that soothing ocean or thunderstorm sound with some good ol' scripture in the background. The problem is I'm a side-sleeper and SOMETIMES when I roll over to the side that has the earbud in it, the pillow will act like my finger and hit that little tactile button and pause whatever I'm listening to. I can hit it again and be a little more careful when I put my head back on the pillow, but that does happen. It's probably a bad habit anyway, but that's the con of the controls on these earbuds, from my POV anyway. 5. Overall quality - I really can't complain about these earbuds. I've dropped them in the sink while washing my face, and forgotten to take them out when taking a shower (I realized after the water hit my head that I was still listening to whatever it was I was listening to, but they got a good dose of water sprayed on them, and there were times where one did fall out of my ear, primarily because I didn't seat it well. I have been so pleased with these earbuds, that I bought my 17 yr old son a pair and he is also very happy with them. He listens to music primarily, 70-80-90's music (yeah he has good taste in music for a teenager.) :-) An update after I had written this. I ran into a problem with the left earbud not connecting to BT. I contacted Sony support because they have a 1 yr limited warranty, and I bought these back in May of last year. We tried doing a full reset, which didn't correct the problem. The CSR provided me the info to send them back, I received an email with a FedEx shipping label, dropped them off at the Fedex in a Dollar General nearby, 2 days later they arrived at the Sony repair facility, 1 day after that, Sony notified they had ordered a brand new pair of WF-C500's for me and I should get them next week. I'm not usually the kind of guy that gets massively butt-hurt when something breaks. Stuff happens. What I don't enjoy is when I am trying to correct a problem, be it a defect or whatever, with the manufacturer or the store and it becomes a battle of will and plain old integrity of service. My experience with Sony was outstanding. They asked me to try and correct the issue by doing a hard reset and when that didn't work, they moved right into replacement mode. I dig and respect that. So I wholeheartedly recommend this product. Unlike the growing number of Shamazonians who get free stuff to test and write reviews even though in all honestly sometimes they don't know crap about the product, I am a guy who buys his own stuff and in this case, I was 110% daily user of these Sony WF-C500 earbuds - at home, in my truck, at the gym, in the kitchen, in the bathroom (oops), outside mowing my grass and running my airplane sounding weedeater, in all cases this audio was good, and most importantly, I didn't lose one out of my ear and run my mower over it. As far as "noise cancellation", I will just refer to the numerous times my bride yelled at me because I didn't hear her when she was talking to me. I suppose in some regards that counts as "noise cancellation". (my beautiful Brazilian bride, if you happen to read this, you know your man loves ya.) BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): They feel good in the ear. They sound good in the ear. You don't look like you have a Chernobyl growth sticking out of your ears like some of the other earbuds. Perhaps best of all - Sony sticks behind their products and they understand what excellent customer service should be. These are the factors that drive my review and are the reason I bought a pair for my son, to whom I don't give him a rock when he asks for bread if you know what I mean. But he never asked for these, I knew the pair he had for 3+ years was having issues and wanted to surprise him. He was surprised on top of being happy. That's probably the highest recommendation I can provide, for what I give to the absolute pride and joy of my life - well I can't see these not being good enough for the King of England if they're good enough for my son. I'll TRY to remember and update my review with some pics when I get the new earbuds. Chances are however, that I will forget and probably remember when I'm in a situation that precludes me from executing the review update in that moment I'm thinking about it. But I'll try. BTW the price dropped on these. I paid $90 bucks for my pair and my sons pair, and I think I saw them for $70ish or $79 and they are worth every buck of that even at $90.

Très bon rapport qualité prix

Actualización 2.5 años: Igual de excelentes que el primer día 👍. La batería seguramente no dura tanto como al principio pero la verdad es que no lo he notado y procuro cargarlos cuando la caja lo indica, sin problemas de conexión, incluso a distancias relativamente largas (unos 6 metros en casa entre varias paredes) perfectos para películas, música, hacer ejercicio ya que en mi caso nunca se me han caído, buenos para aislar un poco el ruido del avión o un autobús. EL ÚNICO PERO, al igual que otra reseña, es el MICRÓFONO, ES MALÍSIMO, si piensas hacer muchas llamadas con ellos definitivamente no te los recomiendo a menos que los uses en un lugar en silencio y tengas que hablar un poco fuerte. En mis llamadas tenía que quitarme el izquierdo y pegarmelo a la boca y ni siquiera era tan efectivo, las personas me dicen que escuchan más el ruido de al rededor que mi propia voz. Es es el único pero que les pondría, fuera de eso, todo bien. Actualización: después de 6 meses de uso continuo (no diario), siguen estando en perfectas condiciones. Los botones siguen suaves, al presionar, la batería de mantiene igual de bien en ambos. El único detalle es que, cómo otros comentan en otras páginas el audífono derecho parece raspar con la música a algo volumen y frecuencias graves pero, en mi caso, no se escucha todo el tiempo y ha sido después de 6 meses de uso continuo en varias condiciones. Puede ser un poco de humedad o defecto de fábrica, en mi opinión no es algo que deba preocupar por el uso que yo le he dado en este tiempo. Siguen siendo una excelente recomendación tomando en cuenta la calidad de sonido y batería como características principales. 👌 Son tal como están descritos en la publicación. Resultaron ser muy buenos audífonos, considero que para el precio, las características y la calidad de sonido están bien balanceados. Los he utilizado para escuchar música por largos ratos, videollamadas y llamadas de audio, y en todos los casos han funcionado perfectamente. También para hacer ejercicio resultaron muy cómodos y no se salen fácilmente por movimientos bruscos o rápidos, al menos en mi caso. Son cómodos pero después de varias horas las orejas se pueden cansar, en mi caso así fue pero dependerá de cada quien. La duración de la batería la encuentro correcta y más con la cápsula que les da una carga completa extra, y si se les da un uso regular al día puede llegar a durar una semana completa. El cable con el que vienen es un poco corto para mi gusto y no incluyen adaptador de corriente, para tomarlo en cuenta. El audio es muy bueno, solo tuve que aumentar ligeramente el "clear bass" a través de la aplicación ya que inicialmente suenan algo planos, lo cual creo que es bueno ya que puedes escuchar un buen rango de frecuencias y ajustar al gusto. La app es sencilla y no hay mucha información, pero creo que es lo suficientemente útil.
