Sony’s WF-C510 sit in the brand’s affordable true wireless range, taking on budget favourites from JBL, Anker Soundcore and Jabra. They focus on the basics done well, small in ear buds, solid everyday sound, and features that make commuting and desk use less fiddly.

Who are these earbuds best for?

If you switch between a phone and a laptop, multipoint Bluetooth is the headline, letting the buds stay connected to two devices and swap over without constant re pairing. The IPX4 rating covers splashes and sweat, so they suit gym sessions and wet walks, but they are not for submersion. Battery life is rated up to 22 hours with the charging case, which is the sort of figure that can get many people through a working week of light listening without hunting for a cable.

  • Multipoint: smoother switching between work calls and music.

  • IPX4: fine for rain and workouts, not for swimming.

  • Up to 22 hours total: fewer top ups if you listen little and often.
