Product Description

Design And Build

Since introducing the world’s first in-ear headphones in 1982 (MDR-E252), Sony has surveyed huge amounts of data relating to ear shapes from around the world. The WF-C500 headphones are the product of that research, combining a shape that matches the ear cavity with a new ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit.

Designed small, these buds fit securely and comfortably in your ears. The rounded shape without edges makes them a pleasure to wear, leaving you free to focus on what matters – your music.

Pocket-sized case

The cylindrical charging case is extremely small and easy to carry around in a pocket or bag so you can take your earbuds everywhere you go. Its translucent lid with a texture like frosted glass gives the case a stylish, luxurious look and feel.

Simple, convenient button setup

The buttons on the WF-C500 headphones not only let you play, stop, or skip through tracks and adjust the volume – but they also offer an easy way to access your smartphone’s voice assistant and make and receive calls hands-free.

Great Listening Experience

With Sony’s Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE), high-frequency sound and fine fade-out sound are restored to the track for a more authentic listening experience. You can also tailor music to your taste using the EQ setting on the Sony Headphones Connect app.

With 360 Reality Audio certified headphones and the Sony Headphones Connect app, optimize your experience by analyzing your ear shape and enjoy the ultimate immersive music experience

DSEE: Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) for more natural-sounding music

When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that add detail and richness to a track. Our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) faithfully restores these to produce high-quality sound that’s closer to the original recording.

Sony Headphones Connect App

Tailor sound to your personal preference. Choose from a variety of presets to match sound quality with the genre of music you are listening to. Or create and save your own presets using the EQ Custom feature on the Sony Headphones Connect app.

IPX4 Rating

You need not worry about splashes, sweat, and dust. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat will not stop these headphones – so you can keep on moving to the music.

One earbud, ideal for multitasking

If you want to listen to your music while still being able to have a conversation, remove one earbud only from the charging case and use it as normal.

Stable Connectivity
