The Sony WF-C710N offer a compelling blend of features for their mid-range price. In our testing, they delivered reliable active noise canceling that punches well above their weight, with strong passive isolation and ANC combining to reduce noise by an average of 85%. Their sound quality is also impressive for the price — we measured an excellent overall MDAQS score of 4.8. Out of the box, they have a slightly dark tuning, but Sony’s Headphones Connect app lets you fix that with EQ presets or a custom five-band equalizer. Battery life clocks in at over 9 hours per charge based on our tests, and the pill-shaped case is ultra-pocketable. Just don’t expect premium Bluetooth codec support — these only offer SBC and AAC.While I found the WF-C710N comfortable for long listening sessions, their fit isn’t the most secure. With only three ear tip sizes and no fins or wings, they’re not ideal for workouts, despite the IPX4 water resistance. On the plus side, you still get touch controls, adaptive sound modes, and spatial audio support via Sony 360 Reality Audio (though content is limited). Microphone quality is good enough for calls in most environments, and the lack of wireless charging is forgivable at this price. If you’re after great ANC and solid sound without spending flagship money, the Sony WF-C710N are easy to recommend — especially if you stick to more casual, everyday listening.Read our full , Wireless earbuds are one of those ideas that sounded like a dream at first.
