Walmart deal makes the budget-friendly Sony WF-C500 even easier on the pocket

Last month we discovered a tempting discount on one of the best budget headphones on the market, the Sony WF-C500. The deal went live at Walmart, only to return slightly modified now. Although not as generous as the last one, this Walmart deal still allows you to save money on these very budget-friendly headphones. As of this writing, the WF-C500 is $20 off at Walmart. Keep in mind that there is only one color option available at this price: the black color. So, if you need affordable daily headphones, safely choose them directly from Walmart. And if you can afford to stretch your budget a bit, head over to our spring headphone deals, where you can find other options from Sony at deeply discounted prices.

Since these are budget headphones, they definitely can't offer great audio quality or active noise cancellation. But they are not made to compete for greatness. Rather, these puppies target on-the-go consumers, looking for lightweight, comfortable headphones with decent sound quality. If this sounds like something on your wish list, you should definitely consider purchasing them.

The WF-C500 features touch controls and comes with several pairs of ear tips in the box to help users find the ideal fit. While there's no ANC on deck, the WF-C500 supports Sony's DSEE codec for better overall audio quality.

Speaking of which, these headphones should sound surprisingly good for their price. Offering a balanced sound profile that should mostly match the preferences of casual users, these bad boys from Sony are also splash-resistant. Note that, like most in-ear headphones, they can slightly “delay” mid-range frequencies. However, if you use them while traveling or while training, you should be more than happy with what you hear (especially at this price).

Finally, the WF-C500s offer up to ten hours of listening time per charge, which is certainly an impressive result. Again, the charging case only generates one additional charge, or you get up to 20 hours of listening time with the case.

With their comfortable, lightweight form factor, great sound for their price, and long battery life, these headphones should meet the needs of casual users. Plus, they're now $20 less than usual at Walmart.
