Sony's next pair of $100-ish wireless earbuds are tipped to support not just ANC
The WF-C700Ns are said to feature multipoint, too
Sony has a way with naming its audio products — trust us, we wouldn't be calling its next $300 pair of wireless earbuds the WF-1000XM5s if we had the choice. But they are great pieces of gear nonetheless and that extends to the budget-minded WF-C500 earbuds the company put out back in 2021. We think they're a top pick for TWS earbuds if you're short on cash. Sony knows it has a good thing going and, like any such performance, it deserves an encore: we're learning some new details about the upcoming WF-C700N, including a long-awaited feature that has made it to other earbuds at this price.

True wireless earbuds come in all shapes, sizes, and prices these days.

They're rugged, comfortable to wear, and offer great sound quality for their standard price tag of $100, so it makes even more sense to grab a pair of these already budget-friendly earbuds now that they've been given a 30% discount.

As a staple of the audio industry, a certain level of quality is expected from Sony headphones. Fortunately, the Sony WF-C500 true wireless earbuds deliver, making them an attractive option for budget shoppers who can’t quite justify the flagship WF-1000XM4s. The sound quality is surprisingly good for just $99.99, and the durable case makes you feel like they might actually last longer than a few months. Plus, the device offers a common option to connect to an app, which allows you to really dig into how you want your headphones set up.

IPX4 splash resistance and up to 10 hours of battery on a single charge
Sony's WF-1000XM4 earbuds might be some of the best you can buy today, but they don't come cheap. At $279, it can be hard to justify that cost — no matter how great the ANC is. If you're looking for a similar design with a much smaller price tag, Sony's upcoming WF-C500 might be just the set for you.
