Good sounding, bad quality for calling, falls off.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony usually makes really solid products that you know have great thought put into the hardware itself. Especially their hard-wired headphones. However with these Bluetooth wireless headphones, it's a different story. They have great sound for what you're getting in such a small package. They have a nice weight to them and the controls are very easy to use due to their size. NFC pairing to a device is awesome and I hope that they don't remove this feature from their products ever. They stay put in my ears when I am using them, however they don't stay straight on my neck. Here are the issues I've had with them... people who I am talking to say that it's hard to hear me or that I sound like i'm cutting in and out during a call. They have no way of staying put when not in use and *always* end up on the floor at some point. If Sony had thought about maybe putting a clip on the back of them (like JayBird), or even making the earpieces magnetic to clip them together when not in use, that would have worked wonderful. Instead, they have this weighted piece of plastic (probably the battery?) that sits at the back of your neck to sort of keep it in place. The issue is, that it doesn't. My biggest gripe is that the device does not hand-off to multiple devices very well. As in, if you have two phones paired to it, they won't switch between them automatically like other Bluetooth headphones do. I have to disconnect the phone that I am not going to use in Bluetooth settings and let it establish it's connection with the other device. If I need to get it done quick, I just use NFC and it will switch that way. Overall since I got them for such a good price, I won't return them. However if I paid full price, i'd take them back.

Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to get fully wireless headphones, but read in reviews that there was often a loss of connection between the two earbuds. Tried these on the recommendation of a Best Buy associate. They worked great for the gym. They have good sound, have never lost connection to my phone or to each other, and the charge lasts for my whole 2 hour workout (no idea how long the charge lasts for, since I just plug them in to charge when I get back in the car). The only downfall to some is that if you get really sweaty, the buds tend to slip out of your ears, since they are in ear buds and don't have an outer ear hook to help keep them in.

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were very well-priced. The cushioned part that goes in your ear is much more comfortable than your traditional hard plastic air-pod. They keep a charge well. I have found though that when they are in my ears I hear a lot more sounds going on inside my body than usual (heartbeat, chewing, etc). They also slip out of my ears at times when I get sweaty during a workout. Overall, they are a good pair of Bluetooth headphones.

Great Sound and Price but Awkward Remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price on these were not bad for around $40. I got phenomenal sound and they stay in my ears comfortably. The main drawback is that the remote is on one side while the battery is in the middle meaning the device resting on my neck wants to slide to one side and fall to the ground. Luckily from years past I had a Sony cable clip that allows me to keep the headset pinned to the back of the shirt neck. If Sony fixes the weight/sliding issue, I would give it 5 stars.

Easy to use and decent sound for price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first didn’t know what to expect, set up was easy and straight forward, sound quality is ok with medium bass. If listening to music app on iPhone had to adjust the built in eq under setting to adjust sound to get the bass effect I wanted. Battery life is decent last over 8 hr if you are listening at less than 50% volume since I use these at work. For the price can’t beat the quality and sound, but if you’re looking for a lot of bass look at the higher end wireless earbuds like the beats.

Good headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones on sale. They are not bad by any means. I do have a few likes and dislikes though. They are easyto connect with Bluetooth, fit comfortably in the ear, have good sound, easy to charge and have a sleek look. I dislike that they have an annoying bright blue light that constantly blinks( I tend to use mine while lying in bed listing to audio books at night and it is bright enough to drive me crazy so i just lay on my side), also there's a weight on the back that "holds them in place" which is good but if you are cleaning or doing anything where you are turning your head a lot you will lose one out of your ear here and there... I decided to keep them because I bought them to listen to my audio books with at night. They are great for that and they do sound good.
