Sony - WF-C710N Truly Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black

These Sony WF-710 earbuds were an upgrade from my Sony WF-700s. The WF-700s had great sound and fit, but they had one fatal flaw: a big physical button that I would accidentally press every time I adjusted the earbud during a Teams call — instantly hanging up on everyone. Imagine it's 1400 (2 PM) and you haven't had lunch because you've been in meetings all morning and you get that little itch in your ear. You try to ignore, but it's there and it's not leaving. You carefully grab your earbud for a little twistaroo to mitigate that freaking itch and.....BOOM!!!! You just hung up on everyone. It happened so often that my coworkers and clients started calling it "ROBERTing" yourself. If I disappeared and reappeared on a call, they'd ask, "Did you ROBERT yourself again?" I endeavored to persevere and I'm happy to report the WF-710s do not have a ROBERT button — and that alone makes them a huge win for me. What I like (in order of importance for my use): No ROBERT button — Thank you, Sony. This design change is a massive improvement. Comfort — With the right ear tip size, these are extremely comfortable. They're lightweight, cause no ear hotspots, and I often forget they're even in. I spend most of my day in Microsoft Teams meetings (5.5–6+ hours), and I usually use just one earbud at a time to stretch battery life. Even with noise cancellation on and being connected all day, a single earbud easily lasts through my heaviest meeting days. Sound quality — Very good for my needs. I mostly use them for Teams calls and talk-centric YouTube videos, but they also handle music well across my genres (Johnny Cash to AC/DC, classical, electronic, etc.). No complaints for work-focused use. Pairing — Super fast and reliable on my Windows 11 laptop. They paired in under 30 seconds even with my old WF-700s still paired (but not connected). No issues at all. A few minor negatives: The left earbud occasionally switches from Noise Cancellation to Transparency mode on its own after a meeting ends (sounds like light wind). It only happens when the earbud stays in after a call, never during one. Cycling through the modes fixes it. The right earbud doesn't do this. It's annoying but not a dealbreaker. On very rare occasions (about 1 in 30 calls), the other person says they can't hear me well when using just one earbud. Simply inserting the second earbud fixes it immediately. Battery level voice announcement is missing on Windows (I had this on the WF-700s). Now I have to check Bluetooth settings instead. This seems to be a Windows limitation rather than a Sony issue. Overall, these are a solid upgrade for heavy Teams users on Windows. The removal of that cursed button alone makes them worth it for me. I definitely recommend these earbuds. I've had my WF-700's for about 3 years and I actually bought these because I thought they were bravo delta. Turns out Windows 11 was just being Windows 11 and after pairing on my personal laptop and then re-pairing to my work laptop, they worked. By then I already purchased the 710s and decided to keep them. BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A ROBERT BUTTON!!!!!! :-) My name is Robert the Texan and I approve these earbuds.

Good sound quality for a reasonable price, the battery life is also pretty long, it also charges pretty fast

They are comfortable the battery life is great and they sound amazing

I picked up a pair of Sony earphones for work, and they’ve been an absolute game-changer for my daily routine. The sound quality is excellent — clear vocals, balanced bass, and no muddiness, even during long calls or when listening to music while I work. The noise isolation is surprisingly good for their size, which helps me stay focused in a noisy office environment. I use them constantly for video meetings, and the microphone picks up my voice clearly with no complaints from coworkers about background noise. They’re also extremely comfortable, even after wearing them for several hours. Lightweight, secure fit, and no ear fatigue. Battery life (if wireless) easily lasts my entire workday, and the quick charging is a huge bonus on busy mornings. Overall, these Sony earphones have made work smoother, quieter, and a lot more enjoyable. Reliable, great-sounding, and super comfortable — exactly what I needed.

Really wanted to love these. Have had a pair of over the ear headphones from Sony, which I loved. The sound is good, the noise cancelling is good. But there is a serious issue with battery drain in the case. Last night I charged the case to full and didn't use the headphones. This morning the case had 70% charge. This is happening over and over. Battery life, probably because of this, is pretty bad. Wish I had returned these when I could.
