Very comfortable. Amazing value. Wouldn’t bother with alternatives with noise cancelling gimmick. Good passive noise cancelling. These do the job and battery life is amazing. Easily last me more than 12hr on a single charge listening to podcasts.
So far so good. I have been able to pair them with my Windows and my Android device, music is decent too. It turned out there is a special Sony app for Android devices that lets you experience 360 reality on the earbuds. I am satisfied with the purchase, and I am happy with the quality for the price.
Good quality, sound good. Bought to use at the gym, they stay in the ear when moving around.
All in all am happy with these
Great sounding and a comfortable fit. Easy to use and the App allows customisation of EQ if required. Not so good when making a phone call when out and about as wind noise can be obtrusive.
My first pair of Bluetooth earbuds. Finally took the plunge after years of chorded earphones. I have quite small ears so have trouble getting earphones/buds to stay in my ears!
I’ve found these to be reasonably comfortable and do stay put while walking about (haven’t worn while running). I’m pleased with the sound quality. The charge lasts quite well. These are charged through the case. The only thing I thought was that the case seems a little cheap/light.
Overall I’m happy with them.
Excellent headphones, easy to use. Connection is good every time.
Only fault is you can’t skip songs back, pressing 3 times like it says doesn’t work.
All the other controls work perfectly though.
I own some sound cancelling headphones, and while I would put these in the same ballpark, they’re absolutely what I was after.
Good sound quality. Bass is…variable, but possibly depends on the source quality.
The headphones are excellent. Perfect clear 360 sound. But I ordered these second hand from here in Amazon and they arrived without any rubber parts that go inside your ears. I can’t figure out how to report this issue so I’m putting it here – if someone reaches out to me to solve the problem I’ll update to five stars.
I was reluctant to go “full-wireless, as I have multiple wired headsets and earphones, but I bit the bullet & bought these mid-range items, with which I am very pleased. They do not have noise cancelling, but now I’ve selected the correct size ear pieces, I can happily listen to music/podcasts etc whilst on a train or in other noisy environments. The sound quality is absolutely fine for me.
The battery life is OK, but not spectacular, but that’s no big deal.
200 earbuds were not for me, but these Sony items at 50 were the sweet spot for price, quality (both sound and build) & vfm.
Decent wireless headphones, brought them on sale and happy with the quality for the price. Would not pay full price seeing the quality however the sound is good they are easy to use and are comfortable.
I had a pair of One Plus one Z buds before the right ear stopped working. I decided to look around and see what earphones were on offer and these came up. I wasn’t too fussed that they weren’t noise cancelling, as previously I barely used it on my old earphones, but let me tell you. Even though they don’t have this feature once you put these earphones in and put the volume half way you can barely hear your surroundings, there amazing for cancelling nosie. A bit too good in my opinion.
They fit really well and can barely notice them in my ear, super comfortable. The buttons are nice and the click is satisfying and not cheap. The case it soild, I do a bit of DIY and have dropped the case a few times over 2 meters and not a scratch or problem.
So far I’m really enjoying these headphones. I bought them predominantly to listen to podcasts whilst I’m out walking the dog, but now I have them I will almost certainly use them to listen to music whilst I work out at the gym.
They paired very easily with my phone and the sound quality seems good. I wore them on a walk today and it was very windy but I could still hear my podcast clearly.
I did consider buying a cheaper set but I’m pleased that I opted for a more expensive pair and a trusted brand.
I got these in black friday, so forty quid. If I had spent double that I would feel I had overpaid.
Pros: very light, never move while running, physical button (though it is light enough to be pressed inadvertently, you can at least adjust fit without pressing), battery life and charge time. The case is small too. Cons: The sound quality is just okay, a bid mid-centric and difficult to sharpen up with the options in the app. I am comparing to the similarly priced melomania touch and reflect flow, both of which sound better, the melomania significantly so. But they are fine for podcasts and gym.
