Here is my review of the Sony WF-C710N Earbuds
Comfort and Stability
• The new Sony WF-C710 earbuds are a very good set of true wireless Bluetooth earbuds.
• They are lightweight and comfortable to wear and seem very stable in my ears when walking or shaking my head.
• I have used them for a two-hour listening session and experienced no discomfort.
Battery Life and Carrying Case
• Battery life so far has been excellent.
• The carrying case is not bulky or heavy and fits easily in my pocket.
• The initial Bluetooth connection is done by removing the earbuds from the case.
• Any Bluetooth pairing to other devices is done by pressing a small button on the rear of the carrying case until the front LED flashes blue.
Sound Quality and App Features
• Out of the box, these earbuds have a pleasing sound quality, but I would highly recommend downloading and using the Sony Soundconnect app to adjust the equalizer and take advantage of other features that the app offers.
Overall Recommendation
• Overall I would highly recommend the Sony WF-C710N earbuds.
• They are a great value for the money and offer excellent features such as noise cancelation and ambient sound.
• Sound quality and comfort are also excellent in my opinion.

Highlights:
- Comfortable fit without weighing on my ears
- Great sound for music, phone calls and podcasts
- Adaptive noise filtering worked well in outdoor biking
I picked up the Sony WF-C710N earbuds hoping for a better fit than my AirPods, and they really impressed me. From the start, the fit was noticeably more comfortable — no pressure on my ears, and they stayed in securely whether I was working at my desk, walking, or biking outdoors.
The sound quality is way better than I expected. Music has a nice richness, with solid mids and lows, and podcasts or phone calls come through clearly even in windier conditions. I was especially surprised by how well the adaptive noise filtering worked while biking — it cut just enough ambient noise without completely isolating me from my surroundings.
They’ve also held up well throughout the day with strong battery life. For the price, these earbuds deliver performance and comfort that rival more expensive models. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an everyday go-to with real staying power.

I've been a lifelong Sony fan, love how their bass sounds in their products, and these Sony WF-C710N noise canceling earbuds are no exception - but with a caveat.
I initially paired these earbuds with my iPhone, so that I could use the Sony Sound Connect app to get the most out of them. I am very familiar with the app, as I have many sets of earbuds and headphones for a variety of scenarios. Once connected, you can really dial in your sound, change the spatial awareness of them, and set up your equalizer, and you bass modes. The earbuds sound absolutely great connected to my iPhone. Absolutely no complaints at all.
However, my intention with these earbuds was to connect them to both my iPhone, but also my MacBook Pro to use when I have Teams calls. This is where the problem begins. Not with connecting them, that was very straight forward as they are multi device compatible. My problem is with the sound quality. I am able to connect and initially they sound good, but then there is a feint 'hissing' sound. I presumed that it was the ambient sound mode kicking in, which emphasizes sounds around you, so I pressed the ANC button and the sound got louder, so it wasn't in that mode originally. I pressed the button again, and they quietened down, but not 'silent' like they were when connected to my iPhone.
I attended several Teams meetings that day, and every meeting had this background noise. The sound in the meeting was fine, but with this 'hissing' sound in the background. I don't know if it was picking up the laptop's fan noise and enhancing it or what the issue was. It was all compounded when an aircraft flew overhead and almost deafened me.
As I say, connection to the iPhone was not an issue at all (and the packaging does say 'Made for iPhone' right on it. No complaints there. But assuming they would work just the same on another Apple product, the MacBook Pro, they did not work as expected.
Aside from the connection, I found that prolonged wear did start to hurt my ear a little (90 mins meeting) but I do have tight ear canals and this is not the first set of earbuds to do that, so I am not dinging them for that. They do charge quickly, and a 'top up' charge of 5-10 mins will net you at least another 60 mins of use. The case holds approximately 3 charges in it, so you can definitely go all day without having to completely recharge the earbuds.
The overall design is nice, I have the white version, the case is textured so it won't slip out of your hand, the earbuds do fit nicely in my ear, and have a variety of tip sizes to fit your ear. They do sound great when connected to your phone, just as they were designed, but I had challenges when connecting to a MacBook Pro.

I’ve been using these new Sony wireless earbuds for the past week or so and so far I’m quite pleased with them. They are comfortable for long sessions. Haven’t had any issues with them falling out while exercising, or after falling asleep with them on. (Weird I know). I tend to sleep with earbuds in my ears sometimes while listening to podcasts. Build quality of the case and earbuds is good. They are made of a lightweight plastic, they have a matte texture to them. I like it but it makes a scratchy type noise when you rub them while they’re in your ears because of the texture they have. The case is lightweight but sturdy. Battery life is excellent. I charged the pod for about an hour after taking them out of the box and they are still going strong. I would say I’ve used them for at least 8-10 hours and the pod still has a healthy charge. Sound quality is very good. At the default EQ, lows and bass are present but not over powering. Mids and trebles are clean and balanced. If you download the sony sound connect app, which I highly recommend for these earbuds, you can change the EQ preset and use different settings. You can also toggle on active noise canceling or put them in “ambient sound” mode. Which will allow surrounding noise to feed into your ears (for safety). The app is smart and will adjust according to your surrounding and activity you select. My only complaint about ambient sound mode is that sometimes there is a weird hiss, it isn’t overly annoying but a little distracting. It comes and goes. Active noise cancelling is good when in noise cancelling mode. I work at the airport and will sit outside sometimes while on break and these do a great job at blocking out the loud blasts of jet engines. I’ve used a lot of earbuds in my life and I would put these in my top 10 list. They are comfortable, battery life is excellent, and sound quality and active noise cancelling is good. They check off the most important things to look for when buying earbuds. My one and only complaint about these is the feedback / hissing that occurs when in ambient sound mode now and then. I’m guessing it’s the microphones checking your surroundings to adjust the ambient mode accordingly. Not a deal breaker, but I got to mention it. I don’t think it’s a defect but more of a software thing. That being said, for the most part they work and sound great and I think Sony has created another outstanding set of earbuds. I think most people will appreciate these.

The Sony WF-C710N wireless earbuds come in a sleek usb connected charging case. The portable case easily fits in your pocket and provides great convenience. The magnetic holder assures you that they are connected and charging.These earbuds fit comfortably in your ear. At the outset, but wearing them all day causes a bit of strain, to be sure. The wireless connectivity is seamless and simple. Open the case remove the earbuds and they are ready to connect to your bluetooth device. The noise cancel feature is second to none. The sound is superior. The bass and equalizer settings are very good. The noise canceling feature can be turned off/on. There is the ability to connect to your device by setting specific ambient settings. This is all possible through the Sony Sound Connect app. Phone calls sound good. Not great, but acceptable. The reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is that the controls are a bit balky and not as responsive as I had hoped.The charge holds for a good long time. I am into 5 days of use and the battery is still holding a charge and running smoothly. This is a very good Sony product and sure to please.

These Sony WF-C710N in-ear earbuds sound great, as expected from Sony. I bought the white version, which is a nice change of pace from a few black pairs that I have, although the glass blue ones are pretty cool looking. The charging case is somewhat matte, a nice texture and shape for holding it in your hand.
These earbuds are easy to connect to my iPhone 13. Download the Sony Sound Connect app to customize the sound, and information on the quick access touch controls. These earbuds can be used one at a time, so you can charge one while you are using one, which is a feature I really like. If I’m just listening to these out in public or even at home, that is my usual setup. I want to be able to hear fully with the other ear, even though the ambient mode is really good. As I’m writing this I have both earbuds in with the noise cancelation and it just sounds perfect.
Everything you need to use these is included in the small paperboard box. Charging cable, two other ear tip sizes and QR code so you can download the app. These work with iPhone and Android, and they work with Spotify Tap, which I don’t know anything about because I don’t use Spotify. The packaging itself is sort of a work of art. There is no plastic in the box, the entire box is made of most likely recycled material. Even the stick that skewers the extra ear tips on is made of paperboard! It was really hard to put the ear tip back onto it because it’s just paper. But that’s okay. I appreciate the effort of sustainability.
"Sony WF-C710N: The Best Fit and Sound I’ve Ever H

I’ve been using the Sony WF-C710N earbuds for a while now, and I can confidently say they’ve exceeded my expectations in every way. These earbuds are a game-changer, especially if you’re looking for a combination of comfort, sound quality, and effective noise cancellation.
A standout feature for me is the superb noise canceling. Whether I’m in a noisy environment or just trying to focus, these earbuds block out distractions impressively well. It’s not just a gimmick—it genuinely creates a quiet bubble, which is perfect for work, travel, or just relaxing.
The sound quality is rich and full, with plenty of volume. I never feel like I have to max them out to enjoy my music or podcasts. The bass is punchy without being overwhelming, and the mids and highs are crisp and well-balanced. One of the biggest surprises was how well they fit my ears. I’ve always struggled with Apple AirPods—they just don’t stay in place for me. But the WF-C710N fits snugly and comfortably, even during long listening sessions or while moving around. No constant adjusting, no discomfort—just a secure, natural fit. Top-tier noise canceling that actually works. Loud, high-quality audio
Perfect fit, especially compared to AirPods. Reliable connection and easy pairing. Great battery life for daily use.
If you’re on the fence about these, I’d say go for it—especially if you’ve had trouble with other earbuds fitting well. These are easily my favorite wireless earbuds to date.
We're absolutely thrilled to read your enthusiastic review of the WF-C710N earbuds! It's fantastic to hear that they've not only met but exceeded your expectations in every way, truly becoming a "game-changer" for you.
We're especially pleased that the outstanding noise canceling is creating that "quiet bubble" you value for work, travel, and relaxation. That's precisely what we aim for with our noise cancellation technology—to help you block out distractions and immerse yourself in your audio.
Your description of the rich and full sound quality, with "punchy bass without being overwhelming" and "crisp and well-balanced mids and highs," perfectly captures the listening experience we strive to deliver.
And it's particularly rewarding to hear that the perfect and comfortable fit has made such a difference for you, especially after struggling with other brands. Knowing they stay snugly in place during long sessions and movement is a huge win!
Thank you for highlighting the reliable connection, easy pairing, and great battery life as well. We're delighted they're your favorite wireless earbuds to date, and we appreciate you recommending them so highly.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely, Jenn | Sony Social Media Team.

First, these sound incredible. Sony has not missed here; the sound quality is top-notch, as expected. The noise cancellation totally handled the light rail train on my commute, and while I can't say exactly why, the ambient noise mode seems more natural than the transparency mode on other noise-cancelling earbuds I use.
They're quite comfortable. They felt a little bulky handling them out of the case, but they sit naturally in my ear, and I didn't have to get used to them in any way - except that in my ear, they tilt slightly down, so I find myself sometimes tapping the top ridge instead of fully on the side of the earbud. The default tap controls weren't intuitive to me, but are simple enough to reconfigure. The touch controls are responsive.
Setup and connection was simple - no issues there. But all the rest of the configuration happens via the Sony | Sound Connect app - and here's where another familiar story plays out. There are a few great features here, but much of this feels like bloatware. If I were a more dedicated audiophile, maybe I'd feel differently, but I suspect most folks won't have use for a lot of this.
Software stuff I don't need:
- The adaptive & location-based sound control is an interesting idea, but I don't see how it's worth the battery consumption (and just general tracking concerns) to have location tracking always on.
- The 360 audio feature scans the shape of your ear and adjusts audio accordingly - but only for specific (paid) media services.
- The app has pop-up ads for other Sony products, which like, come on.
Software stuff I do like:
- Customized EQ (including one that adjusts settings based on live sound preferences)
- Option to connect to two devices at once via Bluetooth with easy device switching
Overall, these are very very Sony. The sound quality is outstanding. The software alongside it - not so much. But since I listen to them far more often than I need to configure them, I'm a big fan.

The Sony WF-C710N noise-canceling earbuds are a fantastic value, filled with a ton of features that are surprising when you compare their price to other earbuds in that price range. These earbuds reproduce sounds typical of what you expect from Sony: clarity and bass. The two main modes that these earbuds have are Aware mode and noise canceling. The noise-cancelation mode will cancel approximately 75% of all sounds around you if you are listening to music or videos at a low volume. If you crank up the volume, all you hear is your source. With Aware mode, you can hear 80% of your surroundings, and there is a feature in the app that you can turn on to use the built-in AI to shift focus to voice chats. The body material of the earbuds has this fantastic matte-like feel that comes off as strong but very lightweight. There is no doubt that these earbuds will survive drops and remain in great condition. The charging case leaves a little to be desired. The case has the same matte feel as the earbuds and feels great in the hand. The hinge has a little bit of play when closed, which gives me the feeling that if I twist the lid of the case, it could bend out of shape. The battery life of this headset is amazing. Using the earbuds for an entire week, and I have yet to see the Sony app tell me I have lost any battery life. Given how much I have used them for YouTube videos and Spotify listening, I have no doubt that they will not need charging for a long time. One thing that I wish it had was extra ear tips. Of course, the small is too small, and the medium is a tad bigger than I would like. This does leave a bit of ear fatigue with the medium tips, but with the small tips, it basically does nothing to create a seal. All in all, for the price, you are getting some good noise cancellation features and great sound. It's the typical Sony quality at a price that is worth your dollars.
We're excited to hear that your Sony earbuds are delivering comfort, great sound, and seamless compatibility with your Android phone. Thank you for the 4-star rating—your appreciation for the transparent design and impressive battery life means a lot to us. The combination of style and reliable performance is something we're especially proud of with this model.
Thank you for choosing Sony—wishing you a fantastic day! DiegoV.

The sound quality is excellent, as is the noise cancelling. The only reason it's not a 5-star is that, from time to time, it has connection issues with devices (only for a second). It stays in place while active, has a good battery life, and all around is a good earbud for the pricepoint.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with the WF-C710N earbuds, particularly regarding the brief connection issues with devices. To help resolve this matter, we strongly recommend following the steps outlined below:
Please remember that your unit is covered by a one-year warranty. If the issue continues after you have followed the provided steps, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. Kindly include the following information in your email:

I wear my wireless earbuds a lot. I have had quite a few different kinds over the years in my search for the "perfect ones for me". Common issues I've had are difficulties getting them to connect to my device, not fitting in my ear correctly, poor sound qualities and the thudding noise that I hear through them when I walk or workout.
My first pair of decent earbuds were the Sony WF-SP800N. They had a stabilizer piece that fit in my outer ear to help hold them in place. They were relatively easy to control using the controls on the sides.
I use another brand that are much smaller. Their small size fits well in my ear and doesn't fall out.
When I received the Sony WF-C710N I was excited to try them. They are slightly smaller than the model 800 I previously had and much larger than my preferred earbuds. The box includes a USB-C cable, 4 extra assorted sized silicone ear tips and the associated paperwork. Like most electronics nowadays, instructions are accessed via a QR code.
I selected the largest size ear tip that fit comfortably in my ear. This not only helps to hold it securely but helps to improve the sound quality.
While I was holding the box in my hand, the earbuds linked themselves to my phone, possibly via the QR code on the box. There is an app to download to help fine tune the earbuds to you and help you to set the settings. If you'd rather control them with the app instead of the controls on the side of the earbuds, you can do that.
The earbuds have active noise canceling and ambient sound mode, which allows you to hear things around you like cars or someone coming up behind you.
There are various settings to customize the sound of what you're listening to: bright, excited, mellow, relaxed... There is an equalizer setting as well. The app can also control the sound settings of the earbuds based on your activity. You can connect to two devices simultaneously. There are dual mics for great sound when making calls.
If you subscribe to a premium music service that provides 360 Reality Audio, you can set the earbuds up for that as well.
I found the sound canceling to be kind of lacking, especially at lower volumes. The physical size of the earbuds is rather large and sort of hangs out of my ears. If I were to run or work out, I wouldn't feel confident that they would stay in my ears securely.
At the price point, they are affordable and definitely won't break the bank.

Always satisfied with wired Sony earphones, so tried these. Overall good fit, sound and comfort. Out of box they sounded a little tinny to me. Have tried app mods, but sound did not seem to change much. Will keep trying with app settings. Phone calls were very good (sound, quality, ease of use).

I was skeptical at first, as I always fear that this style of ear bud is going to fall out. However, my fears were unfounded. Snug fit, great sound, more than adequate battery life.
That is excellent feedback! Thank you for the five-star review of the WF-C710N headphones. We're thrilled to hear you've discovered the snug, comfortable fit we designed. Combined with the great sound and more than adequate battery life, we're glad these earbuds are proving to be a perfect fit for your daily use!
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Excellent noise cancelling for office and beyond

After doing a few days of research, I determined that these earbuds were going to be the best for me, and I was NOT disappointed. I work hybrid between office and home and travel frequently, so talking calls from the airport becomes a must. The noise cancelling for both ambient noice and mic is top notch. I can join a teams call in a crowded airport and have everyone on the call hear everything I'm saying without any background interference. The app that you use to set them up makes pairing a breeze, and they allow you to connect multiple devices AND choose which device you want to make your primary. So I'll connect them to my phone and my work laptop and use the app to switch between the two. HUGE! The music quality leave a little to be desired in terms of audio present and rich depth, but these are best for teams/phone calls, and that's where they truly shine
We are so pleased to hear that your research led you to the WF-C710N and that they are exceeding your expectations. It's truly rewarding to know that the noise-canceling feature is making such a positive difference for your work calls in busy places like the airport. We designed these earbuds to provide a clear and distraction-free experience, and it's great to know we've succeeded.
It's also wonderful to hear that you find the setup so easy and that you're taking advantage of the multi-device connection feature. We designed the app to make managing your devices seamless, and it's great to hear how much you appreciate this functionality.
We understand your feedback regarding the music quality and appreciate your honest thoughts. We're glad to hear that for your primary use case—calls—the earbuds truly shine.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for being a Sony customer.

I bought these on sale for $89 roughly and it was well worth it, sony is leading in sound quality and performance and it shows time and time again with their products. These are my go to earbuds for listening to music or working out. The physical quality of these is alright it's like hard plastic that's a little refined but the electronics and sound is top notch. Definitely would recommend if you arent trying to dish out $200+ on air pods or googles, bose, beats, etc. the sound quality of these beats them all and battery life is great.
We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much you are enjoying the performance and sound quality of your WF-C710N earbuds, especially at such a great value. It's incredibly rewarding to know that they are your go-to earbuds for both listening to music and working out!

The sound is good. They connect to your phone easily and rhe color is really cool! Blue is my favorite color. The only thing is that when I use them whe working in the yard, after a bit they fall out very easily out of my ears. I even tried using different silicone pieces to see if they would stay better and longer and nope. But that really is the only thing I guess, but i really rely on having my earbuds when being outside working in the yard and garden.
We're pleased to learn that you're enjoying the sound quality, easy connectivity, and vibrant blue color of the WFC710N earbuds. We’re sorry to hear about the fit issues while working outdoors—thank you for giving different ear tips a try and sharing your feedback, as it helps us improve.
