Description:
Our only real issue with the Sony C700N has apparently been fixed, and I 
can't wait to hear them.

FULL STORY
======================================================================WF-C710N
 could be everything we love about the WF-C700N, but better Proximity sensing 
for auto play/pause No pricing or release date just yet though 

Regular readers will know that we really like the Sony WF-C700N earbuds, but 
we really don't like the lack of controls  and in particular, the lack of an 
auto-off feature on the earbuds themselves, when you remove them. So we're 
not so much pleased as ecstatic to see the leaked Sony WF-C710N earbuds and 
their proximity sensor. 

Sony did update the WF-C700N buds after our review in order to add on-device 
volume controls (which initially they couldn't do), but the lack of wearer 
detection (aka auto-off) remains. And while I fully accept that that's not a 
huge deal, it's still really rather annoying  and it means the new generation 
is even more attractive than their five-star budget predecessors. We really 
rate the current model, the Sony WF-C700N. (Image credit: Future) Sony 
WF-C710N: key features 

The latest leak comes via The Walkman Blog , who in recent weeks has had 
stacks of Sony scoops. And that means we've got a very good picture of what 
these new earbuds will (probably) deliver, including: Possible LE Audio 
Proximity sensor for play/pause control Noise cancellation Four color 
options: black, white, pink and transparent blue A 70mAh battery in the buds 
A 500mAh battery in the case USB charging, but not wireless charging 

Some details are still a mystery, though. We don't know which codecs the buds 
will support, or how long those batteries will run for. And we don't know the 
mic or driver configurations or the price. 

But given that the WF-C700N were originally priced at $119 / 99 / AU$199 we'd 
expect these new earbuds to be similarly affordable. 

I'm really looking forward to hearing these: in our review of the current 
model we said that "for features, design and most-importantly sound quality, 
these cannot be bettered for the money." You might also like Cambridge Audio
