Good sound and battery, odd fit
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a good pair of earbuds to use with my Samsung Galaxy Fold 6. I wanted good sound for music, and a decent microphone to use them for hands-free calls while working. I also was looking for long battery life. I came across these Sony FC510 earbuds, they seemed like an excellent value, so decided to give them a try. Upon unboxing these earbuds, the first thing I noticed was how compact the case is. I like its narrow shape, making it comfortable to carry in a pocket. The case magnetically holds the earbuds in place which is a good feature, preventing them from falling out if I happen to open the case upside down. These earbuds are an average size, and are fairly lightweight. The included cups come in three different sizes and are easy to change out. The problem is, I can’t find a size that fits me well. Maybe I have oddly sized or shaped ears, but I just can’t get these earbuds to stay in place very well. I think they would have been better with some sort of extra rubber keeper around the outside to help hold them. Also, it’s not entirely evident from their shape how they should sit in the ear. I just had to experiment with the position to find a good fit, but I never felt like they were very secure. The sound of these Sony earbuds is very good. I am not audiophile, but I enjoy listing to music on them. They have plenty of bass and clear highs. Although they are not noise-canceling, they do a decent job of isolating outside sounds. The app they use works well and the touch controls are intuitive. The microphone is decent for making calls. The person listening to me said that I sounded clear, but was obviously not talking directly into the phone’s mic. Still, it was better than using the phone in speakerphone mode. As for battery life, they claim 11 hours, and I’d say they’ll meet that. I used them for nearly 10 hours one day at work and they still had 10% left. Charging is easy and fast. The case doesn’t support wireless charging so it must be connected to a USB cord to recharge it. That’s likely one way they made the case so compact. Overall, I like these earbuds. They work well and are a good value, but I do wish they fit better.

Posted .Hi Rudeney,
We're truly delighted to hear that you are enjoying the incredible audio quality these earbuds deliver. It's wonderful to learn that you are utilizing the built-in equalizer on the Sony Sound Connect app. Your assessment is spot on! Small, light, and a great fit, WF-C510 are our most compact ever closed-type truly wireless earbuds. The WF-C510 comes with different sizes of hybrid silicone rubber earbud tips to suit different ear shapes. As a suggestion, to reduce discomfort while wearing the headset, change the earbud tips to another size to comfortably and snugly fit your left and right ears. The size of the left and right fitting supporters may be different.

Thank you for your purchase and for choosing Sony!

Colorful, pocketable and highly functional headset
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are MANY options today for true wireless headsets - options in all shapes, sizes, feature levels and price. So what makes these Sony WFC510s stand out? A few things, it turns out. First, the basics - they have solid sound, particularly for something so small and in this price class. Sound is great out of the box and you can use the Sony app (if you're connecting them to your phone) to tune the 360 degree sound, change the equalizer settings, etc. which will help tune it to your ear even better. The microphones also pick up solid OUTBOUND sound which is important if you intend to use these for calls. They're also SUPER compact and light weight - both the earbuds themselves AND the charging case. That makes this true wireless headset something that is truly pocketable (for some reason, some headset makers produce very large cases that make the headsets less portable). It also means (in combination with their shape) that they are very comfortable to wear, even for long periods. They come with th three different sets of tips for different ear sizes, but the pre-installed medium sized tips fit my ears just fine. Battery life seems to be quite good and I'm able to get through a whole day of phone calls and meetings quite well. As an added bonus (though it's far from a "basic"), the headset comes in a few different colors which is quite a welcome bit of personalization in a world where the majority of headsets are black with a few white - here you can get blue if you like (as I did), yellow, etc. So then what are the downsides? Not many as it turns out. The only one that I've found in my trials so far is that they don't have true active noise cancelling insead offering noise isolation. It's not as good as true active noise cancelling, but that's not unexpected in this price class and not something I was expecting from the marketing. So if you're in the market for a new set of earbuds and you're looking for a solid value set from a quality company that punches above it's weight and lets you express yourself a bit too, then the Sony WCF510s could be just what you're looking for. Give them a try today!

A great set of ear buds with quality sound.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the sound of these small ear buds, they give clear and precise audio. I just have a problem getting ear buds to fit comfortably. I am REALLY picky in that area, and have never found a set that I actually find that I want to wear them for any length of time. This is a problem I have, and not a bad design of the Sony WFC510 earbuds themselves. They are compact, easy to use and connect quickly to my phone, a 2024 Moto Stylus 5G. I have to wear ear pieces for one of my jobs and find them very uncomfortable. I just can't seem to find a good fit for my ear canals. These do get really close and I find them almost there for my strange ear shape! I'm going to keep working with these because they are almost there! Maybe I can get myself trained to like them! I like that they come with several sets of ear pieces, allowing the user to adjust for each ear and find the fit that is right for them. They fit pretty well in the ear itself and don't stick out to snag on things. I think they will stay in even with moderate activity, but there are other options for any heavy work or athletic use. Most users will find them very comfortable and the sound is really good. I have a very old set of Sony headphones that I use for comparing just about any audio devices against and these get very close to matching the quality of sound. I would definitely be able to recommend these to anyone looking for a good set of ear buds with a great little charging case.

Posted .Hi Andy,
Thank you for the feedback and we are delighted to hear that you like the assortment of earbud tips in various sizes to ensure there is a great fit for all ear sizes and amazing sound quality of these earbuds. Sporting a smaller and more compact design verses previous generations, the WF-C510 are all about comfort. The WF-C510 are Sony’s smallest ever closed type so even those with smaller ears can achieve a more stable fit. The WF-C510 headphones combine a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit. If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not properly worn on your ears, you may not obtain proper sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performances. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips and wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. For more details on how to wear the headset properly, please visit the link below.

High quality budget priced earbuds
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WFC-510 are budget-friendly headphones that offer excellent sound quality and an impressive battery life, providing up to 11 hours of music playback on a single charge, with the case adding another 11 hours. While they lack some features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), they do include an ambience mode, for situations you need to be aware of your surroundings. However, there is no wireless charging option. They are compatible with the Sony Sound Connect app, which I highly recommend for creating a custom EQ to match your personal listening preferences. Each earbud features a clickable button that allows you to play or pause music, or even set a preferred Spotify playlist to start playing with a single touch. Overall, these are excellent, no-frills headphones, especially for budget-conscious shoppers. You still get excellent audio quality for your gym workouts and casual listening. For frequent travelers, I recommend opting for a pair that supports Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). While the silicone tips effectively filter noise, ANC would be more suitable for blocking airplane noise.

Posted .Hi J0A0A7, We're glad that these earbuds suits your lifestyle and you are enjoying the impressive sound quality of your new WF-C510 Truly Wireless Earbuds. Your assessment is spot on! With a long-lasting battery life of up to 11 hours, you can enjoy hours of uninterrupted play time[ii] and 5 minutes of quick charging provides you with up to 60 minutes of listening time so you can listen all day.

Very good for music, not as much for calls
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used these Sony WFC510 Truly Wireless Earbuds for a week and a half so far. Pretty easy and intuitive to setup and use (a quick learn online for the button taps on each ear was very easy). Connected and used them on my desktop computer, iPhone, and iPad. Listening to music and videos was very clear and rich to my ears. Very comfortable to wear and blocked out external sounds pretty well. For me unfortunately, I thought they were not so good when talking on the phone or in Teams and FaceTime calls. The mic just didn’t pickup all that well compared to AirPods and Galaxy buds from my usage. For that, I’ll have to drop by a star. Fair price and good for just audio. If listening will be your main usage, these ear buds are a nice option.

Good Value Purchase
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these right around 1/1/2025. These really have nice bass but really nice clarity. The app does a good job with its hearing test as well as some nice presets. The bass slider makes it easy to fine tune things. Really light and comfortable with a good microphone. No Anc but ANC works well for running or walking after work for me.
