The WF-C500 are very nice for many reasons. They are water resistant and last a long time on a single charge. I specifically like the sound quality, everything sounds very clean and refined. For this price, they deliver in so many areas.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy using these Sony WF-C500 Truly Wireless Headphones because the sound quality is excellent, the are very comfortable and the charge lasts a long time. I mainly use these while jogging and they stay in place well and are easy to use for music or phone calls. I have been jogging in the rain and snow without any problems to the ear buds. When you are watching a movie the surround sound feature it sounds like you can hear noises from every direction. I feel like these ear buds are a great value for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are pretty decent earbuds. Much better then having wires getting tangled up and comes with a nice case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these to replace my other wireless earbuds and I am glad I did! They fit into my ear very well, don't come loose when working out and feel nice in my ear. The sound quality is wonderful, 100% clear!!! This was a great choice.
