TechRadar praises the Air Pro 4's upgraded Bluetooth 5.4, LDAC support and lightweight 5 g design, noting solid high-resolution sound despite the smaller driver, while SoundGuys highlights the comfortable fit, IPX5 durability and improved ANC, though both acknowledge the sound can become tinny at high volumes and that the ANC is not flagship-class.
Everyday users appreciate the stable 15 m range, intuitive touch controls, effective ANC for commuting and gym use, long battery life, and the app's fit test that improves seal and sound. Common complaints revolve around occasional connectivity drops, reduced ANC when the fit is loose, tinny highs at loud volumes, and inconsistent wireless charging of the case.
Professional reviewers commend the WF-C510 for its feather-light weight, solid 11-hour battery life, and convenient Bluetooth Multipoint capability, positioning it as a strong value proposition in the budget true-wireless segment. However, they note the high-frequency roll-off and absence of ANC or premium codecs, indicating the sound signature may not satisfy audiophiles or users seeking advanced audio features.
Everyday users praise the earbuds for their comfort, long battery life, and easy device switching, highlighting the compact case and IPX4 rating as practical for daily commutes and workouts. Recurring complaints focus on the subdued treble, lack of ANC, and limited information about call quality, suggesting the product is best for casual listening rather than critical audio or noisy environments.
Choose Air Pro 4 for newer Bluetooth features and better ANC; stick with Air Pro 3 if you prefer the slightly larger driver and can forego LDAC.
