Unfortunately whilst on calls they make a screaming noise. I can't hear it but everyone else can. I am in the process of trying to sort it with Sony.but there is no option on line for this problem.

Even the cheapest bluetooth headphones I've used in the past allowed me to be connected to both my computer and my mobile phone at the same time, seamlessly switching from one to another. Deciding to invest in some more expensive headphones from a famous brand, I was baffled that such an elementary feature was missing.

Great sound and nice design for this price point. This is my 2nd purchase of this same item.

Sound quality is good, batt lvl shown on mobile devices and iphone and ipad. However, batt lvl are not reported on Mac os and windows with bluetooth 4.0. Hanged once only with loud squashing noise when I use headphone with teamviewer and in conference bia voice. Maybe driver issues so can't say is due to the headphones. However, the holder is prone to lose easily as it is light and small... Maybe more holders can be included.

Had them a while but never synced them. I hate I missed out on not using them. The sound is excellent.

I bought this a few months ago when my previous version Sony MDR-XB50BS finally failed me after two years of weekly use. These were presented as the newest version / one step up from those. They have, however, proven to be quite the opposite. The design looks good but the fit and finish is worse, the cables are more annoying even though they're a lot thinner. The pairing/connectivity is OK but the fit is horrid. They move around, aren't at all useable when sweating and the rubbers that come with it move around and make a cracking noise. I hate being this negative but I have to be honest about this product.

These headphones suck. They are the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever had. The quality of the music is mediocre... Nothing like their Bluetooth speakers. Just overall garbage

Sound is ok for the price. Biggest issue is there is only one size earbud. Constantly adjusting to stay in my ear, and falls out when I'm running. Not really suited to wear during physical activity. Fine for walking and listening to podcasts.

It's not so bad until the ear bud tips come off. Quality of the ear bud tips were pretty cheap. Am constantly adjusting it. Didn't realize it but when I purchased the earphones it didn't come with different size ear tips (unlike some competitors -- you get 3 different sizes).

I do not mind sound quality, battery charge duration. But both pairs of the rubber bumps rubbed my ears to blood. Plus they appeared to be taken off easily, this is how i have lost 1 piece of 1 pair immediately. Buttons must be long pressed for the alternate functions... Seriously? Have you ever tried to hold hand near your head for more than 1 sec time during run?

I bought this a year / the first one already broken before warranty but I exchange it - Good sound but it hurting your ears and not lightweight - also the silicone always drop off so easily and lost - drop from your ears

I have always avoided purchasing any earphone (ear buds) from Sony because the fit is always very uncomfortable for more than 12-20 minutes. This was back when walkmans were popular 15 years ago. I found these in store new reduced down to $32 & I took a chance on these. 25 years later, nothing has changed for comfort. They're still very uncomfortable for prolonged use. I wouldn't purchase these as full retail price because of it. Otherwise, every aspect of these is absolutely perfect.

I used to be a Sony believer, everything electronic had to be Sony all my life! My TV's- Sony, my stereos- Sony MY Walkman MY Discman- Sony. These headphones produce terrible static sound, I just don't understand I have ran through all the suggested resets & fixes listed. I used Android and iphone... I was so disappointed I ended up taking them back to the store. -moderated! The sound these produce are like radio static when they transmit. Disappointing.

love the pretty design, and the sound quality is great. still working well, unlike sudio earphones which malfunction only after a few weeks. however this pair doesn’t stay in the ears during exercise which can be quite annoying

These were great at first, but now they fall out if my ears all the time. I like them for the other features if they didn’t fall out while running. Is there any type of add-on product that I can clip on to keep them on my ears? I have tried different sizes of the ear plug cover.

I bought this a month ago. It does not fit properly into the ears and is uncomfortable. The sound quality is not good. The sound is so low that when I am in the bus I cannot listen to my podcasts. Beside this, just after one week, one of the earplug tips was lost. It is so lose that I even didn't notice when it fell off. After a months now, both tips are lost. Without the tips it is even worse fitting to my ears. Such a lose design should at least come with a spare pair of tips. I am really unhappy with my purchase. a waste of money!

I've been very happy with the sound and battery life on these but the eartips fall off VERY easily. I've actually lost all but one and replacements can't be found in Canada.

I bought these to replace my corded phones which were a pain, they kept pulling out. These cordless phones weren't expensive, my hearing isn't great so there was no point in splashing out a lot of cash. Sound quality is fine for me and they are fairly stable in my ears which have, according to my doctor, narrow passages. Battery life and recharge times haven't been a problem.

Just got them from Kohl’s. Great value and sound but I can’t get them to stay in my ear.

I struggle every time I need to turn them off... Feel like I need the instructions to turn them off and not wear down the battery.

Have used these headphones maybe 20 times, always falling out of ear. Will not turn on now!. I have used Sony products for a long time (Walkman, Betamax, XBR TVs, playstations....) because of the trust in the quality. This headphone is useless junk.

The product is designed well, but the volume is terrible! I thought that Sony would surely get something as basic as volume right, but the headphones are not nearly loud enough. I wish I had bought a pair of $8 throwaways, because at least they get something as basic as volume right. Very disappointed. I will not buy from Sony again.

Using this earphone is really painful to my ears and will not stay put on the position. The sound quality is okay but do not expect extra bass on this type.

Great Product
By samw1
These are a great pair of Bluetooth, in-ear headphones. I really like the ease of using this product. I was a little unsure of the look of them at first because they stick out a little bit from your ear. However, now that I have used them for a while, I do not mind it as much. I could see how some people may not like the style though. Setup is very easy for these headphones. I have not had any issues with the battery life up to this point. In fact, the battery lasts me more than a day of good...
