Sony’s next pair of $100-ish wireless earbuds are tipped to support not just ANC

Sony has a way with naming its audio products — trust us, we wouldn’t be calling its next $300 pair of wireless earbuds the WF-1000XM5s if we had the choice. But they are great pieces of gear nonetheless and that extends to the budget-minded WF-C500 earbuds the company put out back in 2021. We think they’re a top pick for TWS earbuds if you’re short on cash. Sony knows it has a good thing going and, like any such performance, it deserves an encore: we’re learning some new details about the upcoming WF-C700N, including a long-awaited feature that has made it to other earbuds at this price.
