Sony WF-C710N Earbuds: Popular Model Gets Even Better
Sony has updated its popular 2023 WF-C700N true wireless earbuds. The new WF-C710N is an improved version focusing on key upgrades while maintaining affordability.
WF-C710N: Key Improvements
Sony listened to feedback and enhanced the WF-C710N in several important areas:
Enhanced Noise Canceling (ANC)
Addressing feedback on the original model's noise cancellation, Sony added a second microphone to each earbud. This significantly improves active noise cancellation for more effective noise reduction.
Extended Listening Time
Battery life receives a notable boost. Enjoy approximately 8.5 hours of listening with ANC on, increased from 7.5 hours. The charging case now provides a total playtime of 30 hours with ANC (up from 15 hours) or an impressive 40 hours without ANC.
Quick Charging Boost
Quick charging is now faster. A 5-minute charge provides an hour of playback, cutting the previous 10-minute wait in half.
Touch Controls Introduced
Physical buttons are replaced with touch controls on the WF-C710N. Customize these controls using Sony's companion mobile app for personalized operation.
Continued and New Handy Features
The WF-C710N retains useful features and adds even more:
- Wear Detection: Music automatically pauses when an earbud is removed.
- Multipoint Pairing: Connect to two devices simultaneously and switch between them seamlessly, like a phone and laptop.
- Sweat and Splash Resistant: IPX4 rating ensures durability for workouts and light rain.
- More Color Options: In addition to black and white, choose from pink or translucent blue.
Unchanged Price Point
Despite these improvements, Sony maintains the original price. The WF-C710N earbuds launch at the same $119 price point in the US as the WF-C700N. This is excellent news for those seeking capable noise-canceling earbuds without a high price tag.
