Purchased these 10 months ago. I think they are amazing, especially for the low price of $69.99 online from Walmart. Having the app and the equalizer makes a huge difference in my mind. I do a lot of ocean kayaking so they get wet each time, I just wipe them with a moist cloth and they are good to go. Also, battery life is as advertised.

I think that was one of, if not the best mic test I've heard on a set of Earbuds.

[@accestos]

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. kzbin.infoUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

I’ve had my pair for almost a week now and I’m telling you, y’all need to pick these up. I don’t care about features but I choose these over my Beats Studio Buds and Airpod Pros everyday.

Sucks about the whole no wireless charging. Don't care bout noise cancelling much. There are others with much more at the same price but the designs are just not for me. These are clean simple and small.

Your review helped my decision to buy these and they're solid in every way! Sound quality is truly incredible, especially after tweaking EQ settings. Fit is very secure, build is high quality, buttons very responsive and connection range is awesome.

[@TheOfficailTribe]

I bought these earbuds a few weeks ago and I've got to say these are some of the best earbuds I've used fits really well inside the ear, the battery last long, the only one problem I have is that I also feel they could be just a little bit louder that being said after you set up a good EQ these earbuds are pretty loud and I just like really loud music but for most people these are more than loud enough, but I find that certain songs aren't as loud as others but I'm not going to fault sony for that it's just the quality of the song. Also one annoying thing when they are paired to my laptop and I'm watching a movie with VLC the audio sometimes drops out, but this could be a driver issue with my laptop. The only features that these don't have that I would want are noise cancelation but that would be asking alot at this price point, all the other features it doesn't have I can without for the price.

Great review. About the soundcore liberty pro people strongly disagree on reviews.. wind blowing whistles outdoor, anc is weak, connection issues. I may have to have to buy them both to test and return one. Update: I bought these and returned them, my partner and I could both hear the downgrade in sound quality from my three year old mpow30's costing $60. I also got the samsung galaxy buds pro to try. Very poor sound, hollow, also not beating the mpow30's. In the end I got the senheisser momentum 2's for sound, that was cosnsistant in all reviews. I was ready to return in a heartbeat, cuz its pricey and it better fit and work well. I'm very lucky because the fit is good for me, sound is expansive and clear. I think the issue is where plastic edges can be buffed a bit where plastic part close so doesn't scratch the inside of your ear, otherwise finally very good sound, and an obvious upgrade from my mpow30's. I got the Senny's on a monthly payment because they are pricey.

So I do recommend them now especially if you like the Sony sound and great App. 😉

These headphones are great on their own but I really wish there was a way to rearrange the button functions or disable them as needed, as I like using tw earbuds while I sleep and the physical buttons, while great during the day, get in the way of sleep.

[@marcjohn9404]

These are my daily drivers, but I just lost them. Thankfully, they can be found for about $45, I bought mine for like $50 at Walmart, and they're such a good deal. The battery life plus the fact that one can be charged while the other is in your ear, gives them incredible versatility for someone who works overnights and has lots of downtime, and unfortunately I've had to use my Bose earbuds which are good quality, but they don't have the battery life and thus need to be recharged over and over again which isn't optimal for working long shifts. Also, they're often compared to Jabra Elites, and I had the Jabra Elite 75Ts, and while the sound quality on those was great, they started crackling after about 3 months of owning, and became unusable within a year, probably a lot less, and I threw them out. These are far more durable and again, I like the flexibility that they bring. Only thing that I liked about the Jabras is that they could connect to multiple devices at the same time I'm pretty sure, and the WF-C500s have this really annoying feature where they can't even just switch from device to device, you have to physically disconnect them from your phone to connect them to your laptop for example, and also you have to do it quickly because otherwise it will just re-connect to your phone after about 5-10 seconds. Even if I turn the bluetooth on my phone off, my WF-C500s will activate bluetooth and re-connect. It's not a big deal once you know what to do, but it could be a very annoying feature.

@@b0gdan491 yep, thanks. I've set the controls on the earbuds in a way that fits my needs, i.e. without the option to switch the modes :-) I don't recall now the exact reason, but I wanted more basic controls more prominently reachable.

[@whywherewhen6305]

Is it good for sports, like running?

[@2901gagandeep]

Are their any after market wireless charge cases?

[@OfficialGamesky]

Not that I've seen

[@xenon2561]

hi, love your videos! What earbuds would you recommend the most for 50$ or less?

[@ericb3452]

The Back Bay ear buds he reviewed are fairlyimpressive as are Earfun Air.

[@xenon2561]

@@ericb3452 what abt the sonic pros or tws1 pros?

[@__ks027]

I'm pretty sure these earbuds have been discounted for a similar price range for black Friday so you might want to check that out?

Good review! Harmonicdyne Zeus on the background 👌

[@kennyzraht5804]

Thank you for a great review. After watching this, I went and bought myself these buds. They really are good for the money, but I have one problem, and maybe you can advise, please? The controls are very easy to press, thus every time I put them in my ear, or take them out, I accidentally press them. Is there a way to lock those? Sony Walkman used to have those "lock" sliders, I wondered if these have an option too. Many thanks!

Do you have issues with hearing your footsteps? I just got them and it’s like I can feel the vibration of me walking

[@kennyzraht5804]

@@Erixkmusix I think that's normal in earbuds without active noise cancellation. I know that from my Soundcore buds. I am okay with that. I just hate that every time I try to adjust those, I accidentally pause, or star the voice commands. I wished I could disable the controls because I never use them anyway.

Thank you for your review of WF-C500, nice review. I want to know, how many percent less the quality of sound C 500 vs XM4? Just for music..... Tq

[@PendragonNC]

I bought these today for $70 and I am absolutely blown away by the mic quality. I am used to Bluetooth earbud microphones sounding universally terrible and this is a total game changer. They sound great too but now I finally have a pair of wireless earbuds that I don't have to put away when I receive a call.

[@abhayharikasun]

They don't sound at all like the mic in the video though

[@Ken-fh4jc]

I bought mine feb 23 on eBay and only paid $45.

[@gerwsgse]

How do these compare to H1 soundpeats? For audio/bass/listening quality mostly. Thank you

[@CozyPenguin117]

Is there a slight hiss when the volume goes loud? I’m seeing it all over Reddit

[@wiktor283]

Are they any good for running?

[@bradtate158]

Are these as good as the galaxy buds 2 as far as sound quality?

[@vrsimulo1234]

Yes

[@moviemaker5able]

Does anybody get 'floor noise' or 'static noise' when you play audio? It disappears when nothing is playing but with the initiation of any audio, the floor/static noise returns. Would anyone have a way to fix this?

[@louislegg4665]

Omg I have same issue

[@moviemaker5able]

@@louislegg4665 Its been a couple weeks since my purchase and honestly after using it a couple times you cant really hear it anymore

[@Grimxxxx]

@Jeffrey Choi hi. I have the same problem. Does the sound go away after a while or you just ignore the sound?

[@goodstuffforgoodpeople2169]

Hi May I ask regardless of ANC and comfort, what was best pair of Bluetooth headphones you have ever tested regarding clear and transparent mids and highs and high loudness? (Over ear headphones )

[@rozalianepr]

Hi what do you think better, Sony WF C500 or Soundcore Lifedot 2 NC?

[@TrashMelon]

What's the noise floor like?

[@82SGN]

Hello...as for the sound which do you recomend...sony or SOUNDPEATS H1 ?
