Unreliable and bad for running

I've owned these for 5 months. The sound quality is great but they bounce up and down when running causing music to sound choppy. 5 months into ownership the right earphone has completely cut out. there is no damage to cords. If this is how Sony builds their products, I would not recommend buying any Sony headphones.

Still good

I bought this set when visiting Korea back in 2016. The highs and lows still sound as good when I first bought them. I've long since looked for replacements but I can't find anything that'll sound as good as these. Yeah, the cable on my neck gets on my nerves because it just won’t flex in the right direction at times but I still can't get over how well it sounds. Being this old it's showing its age. I had to replace the ear pads for some better fitting ones because the ones that came with it don't stay ON the device. They'll come right off. 3rd party was much better. Other than that, if I can't find anything else that as good or better that's true wireless, then I'll keep these until they don't work anymore.

Great product, how do I find new tips?

I've had these for 8 months I use them when I golf, I use them when I fish, I use them when I mow the yard. Only issue I have is trying to find replacement tips and I cannot find any anywhere.

Good earphones!

The earphones are really good. The only bad think i noticed about it is that the BASS sometimes gets a bit distorted when in higher volumes.

Very good

These are very good all around. They stay in the ear well, have good battery life with excellent quality sound. They simply work with no complication. Read the instructions for NFC connections. Simple operation.

Nice and solid structure, poor mic and volume

I bought this item 2 weeks ago and happy in general. Positives: good and solid structure, good quality material, light, balanced bass and treble and looks good. Negatives, microphone is very poor when there is background noise especially outdoors. Max volume level is not really high enough, it could have been a little higher. Overall, if you are buying this item for listening to music at the gym or running outdoors then go for it. But if you want to make handsfree calls while walking on a busy street then I would not recommend this item.

Impressed so far with performance

I have used this product three times now for long runs. The sound quality is very good and the in ear fit very good. I haven't used them in the rain yet so will be interesting to see if they still remain firmly seated. The one button control can be fiddly to manage on the run so you may have to slow your pace to get the sequences correct for each different function. The only drawback is the connecting wire it can bounce and snag on your neck/clothes due to its length, however compared to wired headphones this is more than acceptable and I have found different ways of dealing with the excess depending on what I am wearing.

Good headphones - audio drops sometimes

Good build quality and comfortable. Decent sound quality for the price. But the audio skips one to many times for my liking when I run with the phone (Xperia z5 compact) in my pocket.

Very good quality

As always a great Sony product, battery last a long time used loads and not yet had to charge, use for Bluetooth in the car and also when going on a run they don't fall out, for the price you seem to get top end quality for a great value.

sturdy headphones

First things first. The sound quality of these headphones are great! Great bass. These are great for using in the gym or out running. Been using them for a few weeks and they have been perfect for the gym. Very sturdy product. they don't feel cheap and these headphone will never fall out. They sit very comfortably in the ear. Only slight downside to them are two fold: One. if using them not at the gym you must have your phone in a right side pocket because the bluetooth is in the right earpiece and cuts out all the time if you have your phone on the other side. And Two: The wire is a tad too long for me. it does go lop-sided when I am running which is a slight nuisance and if you tuck it in the neck of your t-shirt it can be slightly uncomfortable and pull on your ears ( but won't pull them out) All in all, I am vey happy with this product. For the price they are brilliant. Great sound, very comfortable, sturdy and even though the wire is a slight annoyance I can always find a way to wrap it up a bit. Thanks Sony

Excellent Headphones

Excellent Bluetooth headphones, with constant connection and excellent sound and a perfect fit. I mainly use them when running and connected to my iPhone 6plus or my Apple Watch and have no problems when connecting and the fit is so comfortable and the stay securely in my ears throughout my exercise and they provide an amazing sound which is better than anything I have tried before.

Great headphones

I've had these about six weeks now and use them a few times a week. They're lightweight with a punchy sound that's great for use with my iPhone 6. Connection is simple and efficient with no drop off of signal thus far. All round a good purchase that deserves recommendation to anyone seeking Bluetooth headphones from a reputable brand.

Great Sound Quality

I bought these headphones for use in the gym and I am very pleased with the sound quality. Not too familiar yet with the controls which are operated by one button and are a bit tricky. Also, may need to swop to a different size ear-piece as the headphones start to slip a bit during treadmill exercises. Bluetooth connection is excellent. Overall, very pleased with performance of these headphones.

interesting

Sometimes it's difficukt to fit in the ear. You have the unpleasant sensation that it could fall. The sound is very good. It shields from the surrounding noise and this isn't always a good thing expecially if you run on a busy road. It's very light. It's ease to respond to a phone call but the multi function button is tricky to use.

Superb sound

Very impressed with these earphones. Very easy to set up, great battery life and very secure fit in your ears. The sound is very impressive. Great bass and treble as well as blocking out most of outside sounds. The only slight downside is they are quite bulky however it is not surprising considering the punch these earphones give. Highly recommended to music lovers.

Okay

I bought these earphones about a week ago and had to return them as they didn't connect to my phone wirelessly unless you where more than half a meter away, so had to return them, new set work up to about 4m away which is okay for what I need, but it does state on the box up to 10m, which it clearly doesn't, but if ur like myself and your device will be in your pocket when you listening to your music these will be fine, apart from that there small light and easy to use

Terrible item

I bought this based on reviews. Unfortunately it's range is barely half a metre, so it will not work from my mobile phone in a trouser pocket. The one click switch is very difficult to use.

Perfect for running or gym excerises

By Samb099

The sound quality on these are superior, nice and bassy, but doesn't overpower the mids and highs of songs. I've tested it with Electronic music, hip hop and rock. The weight is light and don't feel heavy on even with extended use. I used them for about 2 hours straight and my ears didn't feel tired, which some in ears have done for me. It comes with a bunch of different fittings and once you've found yours, they stay on. The range is really nice, I'd say it's about 30 or so feet. The battery...
