Sony WF-C510 earbuds drop to under £35, offering high-value sound quality without noise cancellation

Sony’s WF-C510 wireless earbuds have been reduced to £34.99 on Amazon, making them an attractive budget option for users prioritising sound and comfort over premium features, with positive reviews praising their value for money.

Sony’s WF-C510 earbuds have dropped to £34.99 at Amazon, a price that places them squarely in budget territory without forcing the usual level of compromise. TechRadar says the deal cuts the pair from £54.99 and argues that, at this level, the value is unusually strong for wireless earbuds aimed at everyday listening.

That assessment is backed up by reviews from across the audio press. PC Gamer described the WF-C510 as comfortable and easy to live with, with useful multipoint connectivity for pairing to two devices at once, while SoundGuys praised the sound, transparency mode and spatial audio support. Sony’s own product page says the earbuds are compact and lightweight, with up to 11 hours of battery life from the buds and another 11 hours from the charging case.

The trade-off is clear: there is no active noise cancellation, and that remains the most obvious limitation. For commuters or people working in noisy offices, that may be enough to rule them out. But for listeners who mainly want dependable wireless earbuds for music, podcasts and streaming, the missing premium features are easier to overlook. What Hi-Fi? has also highlighted the model’s IPX4 water resistance, touch controls and app-based EQ adjustments as part of its appeal.

Taken together, the WF-C510 look like a straightforward recommendation for buyers who value sound quality, comfort and battery life more than a long list of extras. Several reviews suggest they are one of Sony’s strongest low-cost earbuds, particularly now that the price has fallen further. At under £35, they are being positioned less as a cut-price alternative and more as a genuinely competitive option in their own right.
