A:AnswerHello LRO,
Thank you for considering Sony products!
We appreciate your inquiry about the Sony WF-C710N earbuds and are happy to assist you. These earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) designed to reduce ambient sounds, such as traffic or air conditioning. However, ANC is most effective against low-frequency noises and may be less effective against higher-frequency sounds like snoring. While the WF-C710N can help diminish background noise, it may not completely block out snoring sounds.

A:AnswerThank you for contacting Sony, AJ.
To adjust the volume on your WF-C710N, you can increase the volume by tapping the touch sensor on the right earbud, while tapping the touch sensor on the left earbud will turn it down. As for the main unit, either the left or right earbud can be used independently as the primary earbud, giving you the flexibility to listen with just one side while the other charges.

A:AnswerHi Danib,
The Sony WF-C710N does not support Auracast. For a more updated experience with full Auracast compatibility and industry-leading performance, we highly recommend our latest flagship, the WF-1000XM6.
The WF-1000XM6 is our most advanced model, featuring the new QN3e processor for superior noise cancellation, LE Audio support for Auracast, and integrated Google Gemini Live for a truly smart listening experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

A:AnswerHi Bling,
Thank you for asking about the water resistance of the WF-C710N earbuds. The Sony WF-C710N are not fully waterproof, but they are highly water-resistant with an IPX4 rating. This IPX4 rating means the earbuds are protected against splashing water and sweat, so they are ideal for workouts, running, and getting caught in the rain.
Thank you for considering Sony!

Dominick
A:AnswerHi Billy, thanks for your question!
We're happy to assist and get you the info you need about your devices.
About connecting your WF-C710N earbuds to your PS4; the console doesn't allow direct pairing with standard Bluetooth devices like these. The PS4 is limited to a few specific headsets, mainly the PlayStation-branded ones that come with their own USB dongle for connectivity.
However, if you're set on using them, you could look into using a third-party USB Bluetooth audio adapter that plugs into your PS4's USB port. This would allow you to connect the WF-C710N to the adapter instead of directly to the console.
Just a friendly note: since this is a third-party solution, we can't officially guarantee its performance or compatibility.
We hope this helps!
We sincerely appreciate you considering a Sony product!
Best regards,
Estefany
