Buttons can feel a touch cheap, No ambient hearthrough mode, No noise cancellation
Priced between $99 and $129, Sony has joined the budget truly wireless earphone club with a pair that sounds great, but lacks the niceties. On the one hand, you're getting solid sound, but on the other, the WF-C500 earphones are almost entirely devoid of...
