The compact in-ear offers a clear backdrop, which, however, shows weaknesses in the lower frequencies. For this price range, however, this is bearable.

Overall ratingGood79/100
- Good sound
- high wearing comfort
- Simple operation
- Moderate app
- Only three essays
- Charging socket looks cheap
If you can do without noise-cancelling and app bells and whistles, you'll be happy with the WFC500. They deliver the best price-performance ratio in the test and, together with the Elite 3, the best sound in this price range. Wearing comfort and operation are also pleasing.

Overall, however, the verdict is similar to that of the Oppo Enco Air: if you can expect such an increase in performance for 20 to 25 francs more (Enco 2, FreeBuds 4), then you should seriously consider it.
