Sony updates budget earbuds, WF-710N improves ANC and battery life
While Sony’s flagship WF-1000XM5 earbuds dominate the conversation, the company also excels at delivering value-packed budget options. The WF-C700N, launched in 2023, offered solid features at $120. Now, Sony introduces its successor, the WF-C710N, retaining the same price while significantly enhancing performance.

The WF-C710N boasts improved active noise cancellation (ANC) thanks to dual microphones on each earbud, a step up from the single mic on the C700N. AI Noise Reduction also enhances call quality. Sony has replaced the physical buttons with touch controls and added wear detection for greater convenience.
Battery life sees a notable boost. The WF-C710N offers 8.5 hours of playback with ANC enabled (an hour more than the C700N) and even longer with ANC off. Total battery life, including the charging case, has doubled, providing up to 30 hours of ANC-enabled use (40 hours without). Quick charging has also been improved, delivering an hour of playtime in just five minutes.
