A tipster has revealed that the unreleased Sony WF-C500 earbuds have appeared on Walmart’s website and they are priced at $79.99. If the price is correct, then the upcoming Sony WF-C500 earbuds will be significantly lower than the WF-1000XM4 priced at $279. That means it may not be as outstanding as the WF-1000XM4.
The new pair of earbuds still offer some of the premia features present in the WF-1000XM4 like IPX4 splash resistance, active noise cancellation, and sufficiently decent battery life. The new offering sports a smaller design to go with the highly reduced price tag.
The SonyWF-C500 earbuds are smaller and do not have the bronze metallic bolt and offer a slightly different design. Its price is less than a third of the premium Sony WF-1000XM4, and this could draw some attention especially from exercise and gym enthusiasts. The WF-C500 can withstand splash, sweat, and even rain during outdoor workouts while retaining some degree of quality audio output. The earbuds also pack 10 hours of battery life which can be extended to 20 hours when attached to its charging case. This means that users are assured of enjoying their favorite music for the duration of their workouts.
An official announcement is still being expected at this time, although we may not be too far from that. As per the Walmart listing, the Sony WF-C500 will come in green, black, white, and orange colors although it is possible that some of these colors may not be available in some regions. It is also unclear whether there will be global availability of the device, or it will only be available in select regions.
