I bought this product because I've got little ears and they fit perfectly I would prefer little bit more bass but apart from that they sound good

WF-C500 02 March 2024 by FellowArcher777 (United Kingdom)
Nice sound but one earbud stopped working after a couple of months. The retailer website says Sony should deal with it but having worked through the Sony support website for some reason it concludes that I should contact the retailer. I am stuck in the middle. Disappointing really.

Had for less than a year and already Broken
WF-C500 08 September 2025 by Punpow (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
Sony will not honor warranty due to item being gift and they either want me to pay to fix these terrible headphones or buy another terrible Sony product would not recommend. Product was great if you never use it but when I used daily left ear piece went out and now neither headphone will connect via bluetooth which is kind of their whole purpose

WF-C500 06 June 2025 by Disgruntled buyer (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
Got it at airport as I forgot my WFM1000 at home. Paired fine and worked for 5 mins before left earbuds started glitching. Tried everything for most of my flight and waiting time in-between, sucks to say I will not trust Sony anymore. Should have bought Bose or Beats

Melted after regular use for 30 months. Do not buy. A quick search shows this is a known issue.

Overall nice, but good be better
WF-C500 12 March 2025 by psoraki (United Kingdom)
I bought these about 2 years ago. The quality is nice, they are not noise-cancel headphones, which is great for activities like cycling, being aware of your surroundings etc. Sony is a good brand, flexible with android and ios devices. However, their microphone is not great. I have to speak quite loud so people can hear me and sometimes they cannot hear me well at all, which leads me to remove them, defeating the whole purpose. Overall they are nice, but I would not buy again this specific product.

WF-C500 05 January 2025 by isi_a99 (United Kingdom)
On my second pair of these after the first ones died a natural death after 3 years and surviving a fall from a tree. Had an issue with my second pair which have since been replaced by Sony while still in warranty - very happy about that! HOWEVER, trying to get through to customer services to secure a repair job took years off my life, between battling AI chat bots and never ending phone holds. Overall, the product is fantastic and I’ll probably buy again when these ones eventually break. The fact they were replaced within a reasonable time frame was commendable. But god help me if I need to speak to customer services ever again…

These ear buds are a high quality product, a great design, packed with features for taking and making calls and their sound quality is excellent. They connect perfectly via Bluetooth each time to my mobile, great value for their cost.

Stopped working just out of the years warranty
WF-C500 24 October 2024 by BM27 (United Kingdom)
I bought these in October last year before I went on holiday. To get them to connect to your device you have to download a Sony app. After going through the faff of connecting them to my phone, initially I didn’t have any issues when just listening to music. When I tried to use them to make/ answer a call, the quality of the microphone is not good at all!! When you’re using them for calls the sound quality is very poor as it picks up the background noise so it makes it hard for the other person to hear you speaking. About 11 months into owning them the right ear stopped connecting when you took it out of the box so you would have to manually turn it on. It has now stopped connecting completely and doesn’t work so I am stuck with only one earphone. This is just out of warranty period and they have told me there is nothing they can do to help. Would not purchase again!!

WF-C500 09 October 2024 by Abi3 (United Kingdom)
I bought this a few months ago and about a month ago the left ear bud wouldn't produce any sound unless it's pressed at a certain angle, I hwve re initialised it and done all other trouble shooting ans it still doesn't work, and you cannot find a sony representative to help anywhere. Before the earbud malfunctioned I was very happy with tye product

WF-C500 08 October 2024 by AFineliner (United Kingdom)
I bought this product mid July. The sound quality is fine, but I could not get them to stay in my ears. I don't have this issue with other earphones, I think this may be due to the shape/weighting of these earphones. For two weeks now, one of the earphones refuses to connect and the other one refuses to stay in my ear. I enjoy going to the gym, and it is not unusually for the earphone to slip out mid-set. The sound quality is not bad at all, but for the price I paid, I would expect more longevity.

WF-C500 01 October 2024 by Smothdj10 (United Kingdom)
Left ear button broke after 5 months. Don’t telling me it has to go back to shop where I purchased. I live 200 miles from the shop. So £30 on Sony wasted.

Works well but broke eventually.
WF-C500 24 September 2024 by Jungleman (United Kingdom)
These earbuds are comfortable, functional and work well. I prefer the physical buttons compared to the touchpads on other brands. However, some functions are limited compared to newer models and other options. Also, one earbud suddenly malfunctioned (would charge but would not connect or play sound - must have been a mechanical failure) and I got a refund so I bought the updated model (WF-C510). This is smaller, lighter and more slimline plus has more features, so I think worth the extra. Not sure of the build quality but I must admit I was surprised the fault developed in the C500s, as Sony is usually very reliable.

WF-C500 21 September 2024 by Marc86s (United Kingdom)
After that, the left one stopped charging in the case, it seems that it’s a common problem because I read many posts about it and it seems that the only solution is to send them to repair or replace, option that Sony didn’t want to do although they are in guarantee and I bought them from their official account in Amazon. I suppose that for 50£ you can’t ask for to much but it’s Sony not a white Chinese brand

Cracking earbuds for the price
WF-C500 08 September 2024 by Peanutlover (United Kingdom)
Bought these so I could watch tv over the noise from dogs and family. They're clear and there's no lag so lips move with voices. I didn't want something expensive (I have Sony overear headphones for my music) because I only really watch a couple of tv programs a week and these are perfect.
