Sony Adds to Its Truly Wireless Headphones Range with the WF-C500

(MANILA, PHILIPPINES, October 2021) – Sony is making it even easier to listen to music your way, with the announcement of its new wireless headphones – WF-C500.

Sony’s newest WF-C500 is ideal if you want to make the switch to truly wireless headphones and enjoy all your favorite music, in even better quality. With unique sound customization, a compact design, easy to use Bluetooth® pairing, long-lasting battery life, and a water-resistant design, you can now take your music anywhere.

WF-C500 - Small size, uncompromising sound

The WF-C500 truly wireless headphones have a compact design so they fit snugly in your ear. But don’t let their size fool you. The WF-C500 delivers high-quality sound thanks to DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine). This restores high-frequency sound and fine fade-out sound to the track you’re listening to and creates a more authentic listening experience.

Whether you’re listening to electrifying pop or bassy rap, the WF-C500 allows you to tailor your sound using the Equalizer setting in the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. You can choose from a variety of settings to match sound quality with the music genre you’re listening to or even create and save your own settings.

Comfort is key

Designed to be small and light, the WF-C500 fits securely in your ears, making them the perfect companion wherever you go. Their rounded shape makes them a pleasure to wear, leaving you free to focus on what matters – your music. The headphones’ new ergonomic surface design helps to create a more stable fit.

Compact and Stylish Case

The WF-C500’s cylindrical charging case is small and easy to carry around in a pocket or bag so you can take the earbuds anywhere you go. Its translucent lid with a texture like frosted glass gives the case a stylish, luxurious look and feel[i].

Enjoy an effortless listening experience

The WF-C500 has been specially designed to make everyday listening trouble-free. The easy operation buttons not only let you play, stop or skip through tracks and adjust the volume – they also offer an easy way to access your preferred voice assistant, Google Assistant or Siri to make and receive calls hands-free.

At the click of a button, you can connect to your preferred voice assistant to get directions, play music and send messages[i]. Plus conversations flow freely with hands-free calling, now clearer than ever with a high-quality built-in microphone.

Great for on the go

The headphones will provide you with 10 hours of battery life, and thanks to the handy charging case you can enjoy up to 20 hours in total. The WF-C500 are perfect for on-the-go listening and if you’re in a rush you can easily top up the battery life with a 10-minute quick charge that gives you up to an hour of extra playtime[i]

With an IPX4 water resistance rating[ii], splashes and sweat are no problem for the WF-C500, meaning you can keep moving to the music no matter what.

The WF-C500 is ideal for multitasking too. If you want to listen to your music while still being able to have a conversation, remove one earbud only from the charging case and use it as normal[i].

A stable and reliable Bluetooth® connection creates a seamless and uninterrupted listening experience that ensures it’s just you and the music. The WF-C500’s Bluetooth® chip transmits sound to left and right ears simultaneously, along with optimized antenna design ensuring outstanding listening. And with low audio latency, your favorite movies just got better too.

Find it with Fast Pair

The WF-C500 supports Google’s Fast Pair feature which means you can pair the headphones with your Android device quickly and easily. Plus Swift Pair also makes it quick and easy to pair your headphones with your Windows 10 computer via Bluetooth®.

Fully immerse yourself with 360 Reality Audio

The WF-C500 allows playback of 360 Reality Audio tracks, personalized to the specific shape & size of the user’s ears. With 360 Reality Audio you can bring the concert to you or listen to music as if you’re with the artist in the recording studio[ii].

Sustainability matters

Sony has not only designed the WF-C500 to be stylish but also with sustainability in mind. Zero plastic is included in the packaging material of this model, reflecting Sony’s commitment to reducing the environmental impacts of their products and practices[iii].
