Comfortable and easy to wear for hours without my ears hurting. Sony has nailed the design for long term wear for all wireless Bluetooth earbuds I've owned. Does not fall out easily and fits ergonomically. I am confident I won't lose these easily. I love the large button pressed to control music, calls, etc. I enjoy that it's not touch-sensitive like Samsung earbuds, which have been falsely set off by my hair or beanie. My complaints: these buttons are not programmable: what type of madman want people to press 4 times to change volume up/down? I would also love a "Find Earbuds" function if they are connected to a device, but the owner isn't sure where they placed them. Noise cancellation is non-existent, but you have ambient sound (listen to your surroundings) if you wish to have both music and some situational awareness. The case is *slim*, much slimmer than Sony's previous cases. Sound is very decent for the price. With the latest iterations of Bluetooth, these earbuds can be connected to 2 devices at a time, but they cannot play sound from both sources at once. All in all, I recommend if you need a decent and comfortable pair of earbuds with which to listen to music and audio for hours. Sometimes, I use them for more than 6 hours and I'm surprised the battery still goes strong. I've been using them for 5 months now, and like other Sony earbuds I've owned in the past, I expect their longevity to last years. Read more

The Sony WF‑C510 earbuds have been an excellent addition to my daily routine. The sound is clean and balanced, the multipoint connection works smoothly when switching between devices, and the mic performs well for calls. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and the IPX4 water resistance makes them reliable for workouts or Florida humidity. The battery life easily lasts through the day, and the charging case keeps them powered without worry. My order was well packaged and arrived within the intended timeframe, which made the experience even better. If you’re looking for dependable, great‑sounding earbuds without the premium price tag, these are a solid choice. Read more
I woke-up on a Friday and purchased these C510's (Sony uses terrible nomenclature) two minutes later. The discounted price seemed enticing to me. I never thought I would be a person that has seven sets of earbuds. But three years later, I've used nine or ten pairs (others broke or sent to RMA). Now, I'm somewhat consistently searching for my next daily pair(s). Considering my diverse set of earbuds, I like to think I have good reference points for users. I've used 3 Sony WF-xM4's, 3 Sennheiser Momentum 3's, Nothing Ear Wireless Earbuds, Earfun Air Pro 4, OnePlus Buds 3. Finally, I now have the Sony C510's. The silicone tips worked as some of the best I've ever used. However, I changes to my OEM foam tips (revised version) from my XM4's. Everything improved! The sound isolation on these C510's is so good that for a day or two, I thought they had active isolation - especially since using the foam tips. But. that's actually for the next version ( I think the 710's). I was able to do some comparison with every pair of my stock and except for my two-hundred dollars pair (or more when new), I prefer these for their all-around sound, wear and feature ability. The physical device is good to interface with and only ousted by Sennheiser and my XM4's. As for how they sound, I think the overall profile is definitely a more narrow sound stage of the XM4's. Voice and bass are most narrow, but can be somewhat compensated for in EQ. The EQ barley needs modification(s). I've attached my EQ setting, for example. The Clear Bass profile does a decent job of balancing the tone at lower frequencies. I had the 510's at full-volume and I had my standard assumptions confirmed. The distortion was appropriate, for the price. The quality of the sound is good. Not passing sixty-isn percent of volume will general have you safe from from the cost-cutting, dostortion-allowing components that give these earbuds a very fair price. I have worn these for ten hours per day, three days now - including in bed - and have zero soreness in my ear canals. I have fully drained the batteries and can confirm eleven hours use with a few percent to spare. I have one major gripe and if you have battery anxiety; you're not going to like this. The BMS seems to only update the capacity three or four times in the entire10+ hours during use. The app and my phone will show one-hundred percent for several hours and then drop to fifty percent capacity. There is literally three or four increments to the device updating remaining capacity. Getting three-ish hours on a twenty percent, "low battery" chime is certainly a confusing feeling. Here is an example of update capacity: 100% (four or five hours), fifty percent (three of four hours later), twenty percent (three or four hours later), twenty percent (to zero) for two hours. This is not exact, but a general replication of the insanity of the BMS (battery management system). Read more
Bought these to replace my favorite earbuds of the past few years, the KZ SKS and was a little disappointed at first. That was until I tweaked the EQ in the SONY app, which these responded wonderfully to. The bass is very lacking out of the box, but it makes for balanced tone. I like a lot of bass and bright highs, so I moved the slider to 7 on bass and adjusted the others accordingly, with no loss in sound quality. The biggest change though, was the exceptional battery life and amazing passthrough mode that I did not expect to like as much as I do. It allows conversations to be carried out while on the phone or listening to music. Even though these are roughly double the price of my $30 KZs, I would actually say they're an even better value with the features and battery life. They're also super light and relatively small, so they won't fall out of your ears. For a 6mm driver (which is supposedly shared with some of their more expensive models), these have an excellent soundstage and really can thump. The ONLY drawback (if you want to call it that), is the buttons are not capacitive, and must be physically clicked. This can be helpful in preventing accidental presses though, which is a plus. Build quality is what you'd expect from Sony. Very good. Will update if these have any drawbacks in the future. Read more
