Didn't work from day 1, hour 1

Got it at airport as I forgot my WFM1000 at home. Paired fine and worked for 5 mins before left earbuds started glitching. Tried everything for most of my flight and waiting time in-between, sucks to say I will not trust Sony anymore. Should have bought Bose or Beats

Great but mine has an issue.

These sound great. However, my ear buds dont charge when placed in the case. It only charges if the case is connected to a power supply. :( No idea why this is the case.

Fire hazard!

Melted after regular use for 30 months. Do not buy. A quick search shows this is a known issue.

Overall nice, but good be better

I bought these about 2 years ago. The quality is nice, they are not noise-cancel headphones, which is great for activities like cycling, being aware of your surroundings etc. Sony is a good brand, flexible with android and ios devices. However, their microphone is not great. I have to speak quite loud so people can hear me and sometimes they cannot hear me well at all, which leads me to remove them, defeating the whole purpose. Overall they are nice, but I would not buy again this specific product.

Worth it.

I bought 3 of these earbuds. The best entry level earbuds you can find in the market. The sound is so good, the size fits real nice. My teenage kids love them so much.

Overall an OK product for the price. I

Purchased a month ago for RM 199. I am not an audiophile, so works for me (casual listening). Not the most comfortable ones I guess. It does not connect to two devices at the same time, so that's a struggle sometimes. Sometimes they disconnect randomly when listening...but reconnect in a few seconds. I think it is a bug. It is OK for calls apparently, people say they can hear me clearly. I am sure there are other ordinary brands that are equally good and cheaper but it is hard to trust them. Sony gives a 15 month warranty in total, so I hope they honour it if something goes wrong.

Great kit - customer services however?

On my second pair of these after the first ones died a natural death after 3 years and surviving a fall from a tree. Had an issue with my second pair which have since been replaced by Sony while still in warranty - very happy about that! HOWEVER, trying to get through to customer services to secure a repair job took years off my life, between battling AI chat bots and never ending phone holds. Overall, the product is fantastic and I'll probably buy again when these ones eventually break. The fact they were replaced within a reasonable time frame was commendable. But god help me if I need to speak to customer services ever again?

Stopped working just out of the years warranty

I bought these in October last year before I went on holiday. To get them to connect to your device you have to download a Sony app. After going through the faff of connecting them to my phone, initially I didn't have any issues when just listening to music. When I tried to use them to make/ answer a call, the quality of the microphone is not good at all!! When you're using them for calls the sound quality is very poor as it picks up the background noise so it makes it hard for the other person to hear you speaking. About 11 months into owning them the right ear stopped connecting when you took it out of the box so you would have to manually turn it on. It has now stopped connecting completely and doesn't work so I am stuck with only one earphone. This is just out of warranty period and they have told me there is nothing they can do to help. Would not purchase again!!

Great Sounding Budget Wireless Earbuds

This earbuds is probably the highest clarity budget earbuds that you could buy. Even though it doesn't have noise cancellation and a bit lacking in bass if you're bass head but it makes of for high clarity in sound and great mic for phone call. It even has it's own equalizer app - Sound Control that allows you to make some minor adjustments on the upper end of the frequency so that it doesn't sounds too bright for those who likes a warm mellow sounding earbud. Give it a few days of playing before it sets in to it's final sound quality. It also has a long battery life that allows you to continuously play music for up to 8 hours before you need those put those earbuds into the case for charging. Overall a very nice earbud.
