I've used the Sony WF-C710N earbuds for three months — here are 3 things I like and 2 I don't
Every day, I thank my lucky stars that I'm in a prestigious (and privileged) position where I get to test the best wireless earbuds day in and day out. I listen to music for a big chunk of my day, and I wake up with melodies in my head, so I believe I have an ear for what's classified as "good music" and "bad music." And having the right pair of earbuds can transform your listening experience. A few months ago, I reviewed the Sony WF-C710N, a pair of earbuds that offer features you'll usually find in pricier Bose or, well, Sony buds. I rated the earbuds very highly, giving them a 4.5-star rating and the coveted Editor's Choice award. I've put in more hours listening to the buds since then and, this morning, I asked myself, "Would I change anything about them?" A couple things, yes. The Sony WF-C710Ns build on the success of the WF-C700Ns, introducing touch controls, wear detection and new, stylish colorways. The earbuds make basslines sound powerful and vocals sound clear, and a user-friendly app lets you customize the EQ to your heart's content. I don't say this lightly: the Sony WF-C710Ns are some of the most comfortable earbuds I've tested. The buds fit extremely snugly in my ears, creating a good seal and keeping environmental noises at bay. I also didn't experience them falling out of my ears while walking briskly which is fantastic. The earbuds weigh just 0.18 ounces each, making them slightly lighter than the Bose QuietComforts. If you want a pair of earbuds that you can sleep with — although you shouldn't as that can damage hearing or cause ear infections — then the WF-C710Ns easily warrant a recommendation. I've been playing the guitar (casually) since my early teens, and I learned how to play the bass a year before I turned 18. I've always had a soft spot for bass, only because my classmates put it down and said it wasn't as important in music. To those people I say: you're so wrong. Basslines are the backbone of most songs, and they can make or break songs. Turn up the bass by enabling the Bass Boost EQ preset and you can feel the bass in your jaw, in your temples. This is why I'm so pleased the Sony WF-C710Ns boast fantastic, powerful bass response. The earbuds utilize 5mm drivers and Sony's trademarked Digital Sound Enhancement Engine technology to reproduce sounds as close to the original recording as possible. The overall audio quality, including treble and vocals, is outstanding, but I want to talk about the bass the most here. In 'The Pines' by 070 Shake, the bass sounds powerful but not overpowering, and it leaves plenty of room to appreciate Shake's vocals. The purposefully distorted layer of Shake's vocals combined with the guitar hits just the right spot too. This is also true in the case of 'Ezio's Family — Shadows Version' from Assassin's Creed Shadows where a subtle bassline underlines the song, adding a ton of depth to the track. I can also clearly hear the funky bassline in the left earbud in 'People are Strange' by The Doors, adding a nice layer of instrument separation. Turn up the bass by enabling the Bass Boost EQ preset and you can feel the bass in your jaw, in your temples. The WF-C710Ns always have me bobbing my head, a second before headbanging and playing the air guitar. I'm a certified introvert and I like to be left alone when I'm walking or commuting to work on the bus. I also don't like being disturbed by, say, the rattling of the train or announcements over the PA system that pulls me out of my immersive listening experience. ANC comes in clutch here, and boy are the Sony WF-C710Ns great at blocking the world out. With ANC active, I couldn't hear the rattling of the bus or a child screaming loudly two rows away from me. Indoors, I couldn't hear the clickity clackity sounds of mechanical keyboards or the drilling happening just a few feet from me. Great success. Sony has also incorporated a Wind Noise Reduction design which, basically, reduces the sound of wind buffeting so you can hear music more clearly. The Sony Connect app lets you adjust the ambient sound in 20 levels too. Both features work as intended and let you tailor the ANC according to your personal preferences. As is the nature of wireless earbuds, the Sony WF-C710Ns utilize Bluetooth 5.3 to simultaneously connect to up to two devices. Where they fall short, though, is their codec support. The earbuds support AAC and SBC and that's it. No aptX. No LDAC. Audiophiles or serious listeners may be left feeling shortchanged. LDAC is Sony's proprietary technology so I'm surprised the WF-C710Ns don't support it. aptX helps transmit high-quality audio over Bluetooth, so while the WF-C710Ns do sound good, I believe they could sound even better. Even cheaper earbuds like the EarFun Air Pro 4s feature aptX support, so it's a shame Sony's offering doesn't. My only other gripe is with the Sony WF-C710Ns' build quality. The earbuds themselves are extremely lightweight, each weighing just 0.18 ounces, so there are moments when you forget you're even wearing them. I'm also a huge fan of the new, see-through Glass Blue colorway which looks lovely but lends the earbuds a slightly plasticky feel. But the main problem is with the WF-C710Ns' case which feels too plasticky for my liking. It's the same issue I had with the Bose QuietComforts. The WF-C710Ns aren't as expensive as the QuietComforts, retailing for $119 / £99 but I don't think I'm being unreasonable when I ask for the case to feel more premium. The last thing I want is to worry that the charging case's lid is going to snap. So, should you buy or skip the Sony WF-C710Ns? I'd buy them for sure. Yes, I'm disappointed in the plasticky case and very surprised that the earbuds don't support aptX or LDAC, but the buds absolutely smash it when it comes to things they do well. With powerful bass response and a comfortable design, and not to forget the highly effective ANC, the WF-C710Ns are winners. For $119 / £99, I'm willing to make a couple compromises.

Alex Ovechkin ties Wayne Gretzky's NHL record with his 894th goal
WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin skated over to his son Sergei at the glass. He bowed to Wayne Gretzky standing in a suite. He blew kisses to his wife, mother and family on the other side of the arena. In signature dramatic fashion, Ovechkin scored the 894th goal of his career — and second of the game — to tie Gretzky's NHL record and set off a wild celebration among his Washington Capitals teammates on the ice and in the stands of the only building he has called home for the past two decades. Advertisement 'I'm still a little shaking and still can't believe it,' Ovechkin said with Gretzky sitting beside him after Washington's 5-3 win over Chicago on Friday night. 'It's history. It's great for the game. It's great to do it here. It's special.' Another special moment awaits if and win Ovechkin scores his 895th goal to break one of hockey's records that looked unbreakable. But the chance to celebrate at home with Capitals players past and present and match Gretzky made it a moment Ovechkin will never forget. Neither will Gretzky, who along with Ovechkin is the league's co-leading goal-scorer for the time being. 'I can live with that for 24 more hours,' Gretzky said. 'I can still say I'm tied for the most.' Advertisement 0vechkin scored No. 894 from his spot in the left faceoff circle on the power play on a pass from longtime teammate John Carlson with 13:47 left in the third period. The goal — his 41st of the season and record-setting 136th game-winner to break a tie with Jaromir Jagr — caused teammates to spill off the bench and mob Ovechkin in the corner of the rink. 'We kind of looked at each other just and said, 'Screw it, I'm going,'' winger Tom Wilson said. 'It was just so cool to be a part of it as a group.' Ovechkin's goal song, 'Shake, Rattle & Roll' by Big Joe Turner,' blared from the speakers, and mascot Slapshot flipped the counter in one corner from 893 to 894 as fans rose to their feet and stayed there to applaud the accomplishment. The 39-year-old who has spent his entire career with Washington skated circles around center ice to implore for more, in between his emotional moments paying tribute to Gretzky and his family. 'That was awesome,' said center Dylan Strome, who set up Ovechkin's 893rd goal. 'Like, you're left speechless and they still got to play the game and try to find him for one more.' Advertisement Amazingly, Ovechkin almost got another one. He had chances in the final 10 minutes and either missed the net or was denied by Spencer Knight, one of a record 182 different goaltenders he has scored on during his career. 'I just guess I'm glad he didn't get the last one,' Knight said. 'But, yeah, it's cool to see, it's great for the sport.' One way Ovechkin refused to get No. 895 was into an empty net. He told coach Spencer Carbery and others he wanted no part of passing Gretzky like that. 'He wants to break the record with a goaltender in the crease, which I appreciate,' Carbery said. 'He told me that on the bench, and I just wanted to confirm that he didn't want to go out. And it's hard for us as coaches because I just wanted to make sure in that moment: hat trick, at home. And he didn't want to go out and score on an empty net to break the record. We have six games left, and he wants to break the record and have that moment where he's shooting the puck past a goalie.' Advertisement Afterward, Blackhawks players stayed on the ice to do a handshake line with Ovechkin, who gets his next chance to break the record Sunday at the New York Islanders. 'Obviously very classy by the Hawks organization what they did tonight for 'O' and it's as good as it gets,' Wilson said. 'We have more to look forward to hopefully, but this was an incredible night.'
