Sony WF-C710N review

The WF-C710N is Sony's everyday noise canceling model at a $129.99 list price, and Sony's store showed it on sale at $99.99 when we checked. It is the battery leader in this list for noise cancelling use: Sony lists up to 8.5 hours on the earbuds plus 21.5 hours in the case, 30 hours total, with noise canceling on, or 12 plus 28 hours with it off. Dual microphones help the noise canceling adapt to how the earbuds sit in your ear, and Ambient Sound Mode lets traffic and announcements through. Calls use AI-based voice pickup. Multipoint support lets it hold a phone and a laptop at once, which several pricier models here do not advertise. What you give up compared with the WF-1000XM6 is Sony's top-tier noise cancelling processor, LDAC and a wireless charging case. For iPhone owners at the same budget, AirPods 5 add Voice Isolation and IP57, but last about half as long per charge.
