Good news and bad. The good news is that Sony's five-star WF-C710N wireless earbuds have their first discount courtesy of the Memorial Day sales. The 'buds are now just $89 at Amazon – that's a discount of $30 (or 25 per cent) on their $119 launch price.
The bad news? The transparent blue finish isn't included in the deal. Denied.
Sony WF-C710N wireless earbuds Memorial Day deal
Beating the multi-Award-winning WF-C700N was never going to be easy, but Sony has done it. The C710N are a little bulkier than their predecessors, but that's in order to cram in an extra mic for noise cancelling duties.
They have a more recent version of Bluetooth, and like the C700N they support Bluetooth Multipoint for seamlessly switching between connected devices.
Also on the menu are touch controls, auto pause and wear detection. So they're certainly feature-packed.
Sony’s Dual Noise Sensor makes for more effective noise cancellation, especially across the midrange and lower frequencies. And Precise Voice Pickup tech makes for clear hands-free calls.
As for the sound, let's just say this – we had high expectations, and they were met. "There's a weight, solidity and fullness in the bass which makes the WF-C700N sound lightweight and a little top-heavy," we wrote in our WF-C710N review.
Remember, that's the same C700N that won multiple Product of the Year Awards.
The C710N's detail levels are excellent, and the bass is tight and punchy, with plenty of authority. Add in Sony's trademark musicality and you have a sonic performance that's worth every cent. Especially at the price of $89 at Amazon
