I have the c500 and I’m happy with them (they have that extra bass) BTW you can buy cheap foam eartips from alliexpress and they basically block all the noise

Does it have to be Sony? You can get the Jabra 75t well under 100$ and they’re amazing.

The c line up isn’t that good imo. Would rather get Galaxy buds2 if they are under 100 euros

tried the linkbuds for cycling. was not a fan of the sound quality and just the wind rushing by triggered the auto pause mode.
so even disregarding my wind problem i cannot recommend the linkbuds at least.

I’d get galaxy buds2, they’re excellent sound wise for the money. Only issue if you have an iPhone, then you can’t mess with the touch controls, but if you have any PC you can do it on there.

Linkbuds S. Maybe you can stretch the budget a little or wait for a sale now holidays approaching. Very nice sound profile, and very light. Anc is also good.

If you’re willing to spend 100€ i’d probably throw another 30€ ontop of it and get the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, if not i’d probably go for the Galaxy Buds2, really not a Sony fan tbh

I got the c700 for a friend’s birthday and they’re really good. I believe the c500 will be fine if you don’t need ANC.

BUT check out the realme buds air 5 pro.

Edit: the 500 for 50 Euro is good. Where i live they are more expensive.
