Sony today launched a new WF-C500 TWS headset. Compared to WF-XB700s, although the price is cheaper, it brings many obvious improvements, including support for applications (with EQ), longer battery life, and easier control. Experience and more. The headset is priced at $99.99.
The WF-C500 TWS headset provides a more compact appearance but maintains the IPX4 waterproof and sweat-proof functions of the WF-XB700s. The battery life is increased to 10 hours of continuous playback (previously 9 hours), including 20 hours (18 hours) of playback with the charging box. Somewhat surprisingly, the new earbuds ditch Sony’s extra bass sound tuning.
However, since the WF-C500 is used with Sony’s mobile app, you should be able to boost the bass with an adjustable equalizer to achieve a similar effect. The company is indeed trying to position these products as ideal for those who buy the first truly wireless earbuds.
The new earbuds also have Sony’s DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) to enhance the audio, but this is always a bit of a gimmick for some media editors-especially when we are talking about the $99.99 earbuds. More usefully, they support Fast Pair for Android and Swift Pair for Windows.
The WF-C500 earplugs are available for pre-order today, and there are a variety of exclusive colors depending on where you buy them. Sony will sell black, Amazon will have black and white, Best Buy will have black and green, and Target will sell black and orange.
