Best praise vs top criticism for Sony WF-C500
“I got[these Sony WF-C500](https://itemdealz.com/sony-wf-c500-wireless-earbuds-amazon-ebay) earbuds for about $100, and they're super cool. The sound is amazing, battery life rocks, and the Bluetooth actually works, unlike my old headphones! I'm really happy with them.”
“I’ve bought the Wf-c500 three times (i guess im a brand whore) and the Wf-c700n. With the wf-c500’s right bud wouldn’t pair correctly. This was after only about a month or so. Factory reset did not resolve the issue. Same issue with the Wf-c700, I had the same issue. Along with atrocious noise cancelling and ambient mode. The equalizer in it was a plus at least. Anyway Sony earbuds are slick on the surface. Cheap soddering and tinny sound once youve broken them in. Im also looking for a trusty brand if earbuds. Let me know how it goes. :)”
