The Sony WF-C710N wireless earbuds offer enhanced active noise cancellation, longer battery life, and modern features like touch controls and quick charging.
Sony has recently introduced the WF-C710N wireless earbuds, a much-anticipated successor to the budget-friendly WF-C700N released in 2023. These new earbuds not only keep the affordable price tag of $119.99 (or approximately Php6,929) but also offer impressive upgrades, making them an enticing option for those seeking premium features without breaking the bank. Whether you’re looking for better sound quality, longer battery life, or enhanced functionality, the WF-C710N has plenty to offer.
Improved Active Noise Cancellation and Ambient Sound Modes
One of the standout features of the WF-C710N is the improvement in active noise cancellation (ANC). The previous WF-C700N model was criticized for its limited ANC capabilities, which could only block out lower-frequency sounds like hums or rumbling. With the WF-C710N, Sony has made substantial improvements. Although we haven’t tested the new earbuds extensively, Sony claims that the new model features dual microphones that improve both ANC and ambient sound mode performance. This upgrade helps the earbuds cancel out more unwanted noise, providing a better listening experience whether you’re on a crowded commute or just relaxing at home. However, it's important to note that the WF-C710N does not feature the advanced ANC processors found in Sony’s more premium earbuds.
Longer Battery Life for All-Day Listening
Battery life is another area where the WF-C710N stands out. The previous model offered around 7.5 hours of playtime with ANC on, or up to 15 hours with the charging case providing one full charge. With the WF-C710N, Sony has significantly increased the battery life, allowing for up to 8.5 hours of continuous playback with ANC enabled, and up to 30 hours when paired with the charging case. If you prefer to have ANC turned off, the earbuds last a remarkable 40 hours on a single charge. Additionally, quick charging has been improved, with just a five-minute charge offering up to 60 minutes of playback, down from the 10-minute charge in the previous version. This makes the WF-C710N a great option for users who are always on the go.
Enhanced Features for a Premium Experience
The Sony WF-C710N introduces several premium features that set it apart from other budget earbuds. A new sensor feature automatically pauses playback when the earbuds are removed from your ears, ensuring that you don’t miss a beat when you need to take them out quickly. Furthermore, Sony has replaced the physical buttons on the previous model with touch-sensitive controls, which can be customized through the mobile app. This makes it easier to adjust volume, skip tracks, answer calls, or launch your preferred music app with just a tap. These small but impactful changes offer a smoother and more modern user experience.
The earbuds also come with an IPX4 rating, meaning they can withstand splashes of water or sweat, making them a great choice for workouts or outdoor activities. Another useful feature is the ability to connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously, allowing you to switch between devices seamlessly without needing to disconnect and reconnect each time.
Sony knows that looks matter, and the WF-C710N doesn’t disappoint. Available in four color options—black, white, pink, and a new transparent blue—these earbuds offer a stylish design that matches different preferences. The transparent blue color, in particular, is a standout, giving the earbuds a unique and modern aesthetic that might be hard to resist.
The Sony WF-C710N wireless earbuds offer great value for their price. With improvements in active noise cancellation (ANC), battery life, and convenient features like touch controls, these earbuds provide premium functionality at an affordable cost. Whether you're using them for work, exercise, or casual listening, the WF-C710N delivers solid performance without the hefty price tag. Sony has successfully balanced affordability with quality, making the WF-C710N an excellent choice for those in search of dependable wireless earbuds.
