help Sony WF-C500 FAQ
Do the Sony WF-C500 earbuds have active noise cancellation?
No, the WF-C500 rely on passive isolation from their silicone ear tips and do not include active noise cancellation. Sony's WF-C700N is the more direct step-up model for buyers who specifically need ANC.
How long do the WF-C500 last before they need charging?
Sony rates the earbuds for up to 10 hours of continuous music playback. The case supplies roughly one additional full charge, bringing the advertised total to about 20 hours.
Can the WF-C500 handle sweat or rain?
The earbuds carry an IPX4 water-resistance rating, so they are designed to tolerate splashes and workout sweat. The charging case is not covered by that same protection and should be kept dry.
Which Bluetooth codecs and app features do the WF-C500 support?
They support SBC and AAC over Bluetooth 5.0, but not Sony's higher-bandwidth LDAC codec. The Sony Headphones Connect app provides equalizer controls and access to the DSEE sound-restoration feature.
