SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 88/100
The WF-C510 are described as rich, full-bodied and highly musical, with an especially strong sense of rhythm and engagement for affordable wireless earbuds. Reviewers praise their bass power, expressive vocals and dynamic drive, though the available review says little about soundstage scale or imaging precision.
Bass
92/100
What Hi-Fi finds serious power behind prominent basslines, while also noting that the earbuds capture the dynamic shifts of quicker bass notes. The presentation is described as richer and fuller-bodied than the preceding WF-C500.
Midrange
90/100
Vocals are described as solid, expressive and naturally warm. The review also finds the midrange more refined and subtle than that of the WF-C500, while retaining an upbeat musical character.
Treble
88/100
The available review says the treble has improved over the WF-C500, with strings and claps sounding refined and subtle while keeping the music lively. There is no reported issue with harshness or sibilance, although extension and air are not discussed in depth.
Resolution Separation
89/100
The WF-C510 are said to dig emotion and detail out of vocals and piano, helping quieter musical elements feel involving. They also keep complex pieces from unravelling, suggesting capable organization for their class.
Soundstage Imaging
75/100
The review does not provide meaningful comments on stage width, depth or image placement. Its praise instead centers on musical engagement and timing.
Dynamics Coherence
92/100
What Hi-Fi strongly praises the earbuds' rhythmic ability, timing and capacity to get into the groove of any genre. They are also said to shift up in scale and dynamic drive effectively, making music feel more connected and engaging.
FIT COMFORT ISOLATION PERFORMANCE 87/100
The compact Sony shells earned particularly strong comments for their easy positioning, comfort and secure in-ear stability. Their seal was excellent in testing, while passive noise isolation itself is not directly assessed.
Seal Stability
93/100
The earbuds reportedly slot into the ears with zero fuss and are easy to position. Despite relying only on silicone tips for retention, the review found both seal and stability excellent during testing.
Comfort
90/100
What Hi-Fi describes the design as compact and comfortable. No pressure points, fatigue or awkward insertion issues are reported.
Isolation
75/100
A secure seal is reported, but the review does not directly evaluate how effectively the WF-C510 block external noise. There is also no discussion of active noise cancelling.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Accessories
82/100
The pill-shaped charging case is described as solid, although visually plainer than the WF-C500 case. Sony includes hybrid silicone ear tips and a charging case, but the review offers little detail on long-term durability, controls, app support or battery ownership experience.
Value for Money
94/100
At £55 / $60 / AU$109.95, What Hi-Fi considers the WF-C510 firmly entry-level and calls them brilliant buds with a bargain price tag. Their musical, rhythmic sound is presented as especially compelling against affordable true-wireless competition.
