Sony WF-C710N review

The WF-C710N is Sony's way into noise cancelling for people who do not want to spend $300. Sony describes its noise canceling as optimal for an everyday earbud rather than class-leading, which is the honest trade at this price, but it still brings the essentials for a commute or an office. Battery is the surprise: Sony lists up to 8.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 21.5 more in the case with noise canceling on, for 30 hours in total, and up to 40 hours total with it off. That beats the per-charge figures for Bose's and Samsung's flagships. Multipoint keeps a phone and a laptop connected, calls use voice pickup technology, and the earbuds work with Sony's Sound Connect app. Sony gives the MSRP as $129.99 and was selling it for $99.99 when we checked. You give up the stronger processor, wireless charging and LDAC of the WF-1000XM6, which matters more on flights than on a bus.
