Sony announced the WF-C510, which is the replacement budget counterpart for the WF-1000XM4. As it’s designed with price reduction in mind, the headphones are more budget-friendly and try to retain major features necessary for their class while still managing to cut costs. Given the price, the new earbuds do surprisingly well in terms of specification.
The Sony WF-C510 is being marketed as the smallest closed-type earbuds the brand has ever made. It packs similarly small 6mm drivers and weighs in at just about 4.6 grams per bud. Its lightweight construction makes it comfortable and easy to carry around. The charging case weighs approximately 31 grams.
While it doesn’t have ANC, however, the WF-C510 does have a transparency mode. It also supports earbuds designed to support Bluetooth 5.3, and these buds will last 11 hours for general listening. When Transparency mode is turned on, however, both buds and case last eight hours.
The Sony WF-C510 will go for RM299, much more affordable compared to the predecessor’s price at RM449, making it a further compelling option for budget-conscious consumers. While an official release date has not been announced in Malaysia, shipping starts on September 9 in the US.
For the price, with its compact design and necessary features, the Sony WF-C510 is an excellent option for those who are looking to get quality TWS earbuds without breaking the bank.
