While you can’t compare it to the entry-level headset for high-end models, it does take on styling. premium appearance design and several cool features that will provide users with good value for money.
The Sony WFC500 adopts an ergonomic and closed design with the usual silicone tips. The surface design allows for greater stability of fit. Each jewel has a control button that can be used for reading or to call a virtual assistant on a connected smartphone. The WFC500 is also equipped with the Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) designed to restore high-frequency sounds lost during compression. Apart from that, it has 360 Reality Audio aimed at providing users with an immersive experience.
