Sony WF-C510 review

The WF-C510 are Sony's simplest true wireless earbuds, and they suit people who want something small and reliable rather than a long feature list. Sony describes them as compact and lightweight for all-day comfort, with up to 11 hours of battery from the buds and up to another 11 hours from the case. That 22-hour total is the shortest here, but the per-charge figure is among the longest, and it applies with Ambient Sound Mode, DSEE and custom EQ switched off. Multipoint lets you pair two Bluetooth devices at the same time, which is unusual at this price. Ambient Sound Mode lets outside noise in when you need to hear traffic or announcements, and DSEE upscales compressed music. What you give up is active noise cancelling: on a loud train these will let more sound through than any ANC pair in this list. Sony's list price is $69.99, and the store was selling them for $59.99 when we checked.
