Simple to use, battery lasts for at least 5-6 hours.
I am not a power user, i bought this to use while on jobs where i am the only one on site usually 1-1.5 hours at a site. And it does the job.
The only things i am not impressed with are
1. The wire often get caught on the back of my neck and pulls the pieces out of the ear.
2. No way to keep them hanging around the neck without the extra piece ( which got lost on the 2stv week).

Good for runs. Especially if you sweat as much as I do. The water proofing is handy for those heavy workouts.

A nearly perfect set of wireless earphones that works well. These are a little low in the volume department and the call-answer option leaves a lot to be desired. But they do sound decent under indoor conditions. These aren't the best buds for workouts as the supplied eartips tend to fall out under exercise conditions. Only 2 pairs of eartips were supplied, none of which seat snugly enough in my ear canal. This makes a good seal impossible and contributes to them falling out if and when I move at any pace quicker than a slow walk. I also found the cord management system sub-par and do not understand why Sony would want us to wrap the wires, which in the long-term would contribute to worsening the sound output. I wish a company as awesome as Sony would have had the foresight to provide a decent carry case for the ear buds. All in all, as long as you are sitting still, indoors and have had the good fortune to get a good fit with the eartips, you will have a decent listening experience.

1.0 out of 5 stars Decent pair of wireless headphones
Reviewed in India on 18 August 2018

UPDATE: Downgrading this to one star. In less than two months, the top came off the left headset. I'm using it now, stuck together with cheap glue because I'm unwilling to waste my time and efforts getting either a replacement or getting it repaired at a store. Just goes to show the build quality and how good the sweat proofing and water resistance on this device is. This device cannot handle the pocket of a laptop sleeve. It sure as hell cannot handle your workouts.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
This is a decent pair from Sony. The battery lasts long enough and the NFC connectivity is a life saver. My only gripe with this pair is the weak microphone. Calls taken through the headset can be heard properly but the person at the other end can barely hear your voice. Skip this if you're going to be taking a lot of calls. If you're into watching movies and listening to music, go for it. Keep in mind that this is NOT supposed to isolate noise and there is background noise that you will hear. It is designed to be this way and this is not a product defect. Perfect for people like me who walk around with their ears plugged yet want to remain aware of the environment they're in.

4.0 out of 5 stars A perfect pair. Well, almost.

The sound is very clear and the bass is just perfect, not too loud and still enough to make you feel that punch in your ear canal. The buttons are easy to press and double taping the power button brings up the voice assistant on your phone. The battery lasts for about 5-6 hours of continuous music playtime on a single charge.

Call quality is crisp and so is the sensitivity of the mic. It may however get a little difficult to hear for the person on the other end if you're talking in a noisy environment.

Since the design is an open ear, you can hear outside noise but at the highest volume only the very loud noises make it inside, sounds such as car/bike horns and wind when riding a two-wheeler can be heard like ambient noises to keep you aware of the surroundings. Doesn't affect the music experience of the headphones though.

Personally they fit in my ears perfectly, but I've rarely had a problem with earphones fitting in, however the problem I do face is that my ears hurt with prolonged use of in ear headphones. However, thankfully, that is not the case with these as they done go in your ear completely and can be worn comfortably for longer durations.

The only thing missing is a case. When you pay the amount of money for such a small device that you're going to carry along with you, you really expect to get a half decent storage solution. Instead what you get is a barely there holster for the 2 pods to stick into. The wire hangs lose and the only way to deal with that is to wrap around the holster.

Apart from this one niggling con, these are an almost perfect pair of wireless headphones, that are great for casual music and decent for use while exercising. They are very light weight and never stress out your ears from continuous wear.

I am writing this after more than six months of use. These earphones sound decent, have a good battery battery life and are durable in construction. But the reason I won't recommend them is because they fit very poorly and the connecting wire twists and turns and becomes very irritating hanging weirdly behind your ears and head. And forget running while you wear them. I had to adjust them again and again even while I walk. You can't use them in the gym or in traffic because of poor noise cancellation but that is something that I knew beforehand, so I won't complain about it that much. Yes, I agree that they are well made earphones but in my case the whole experience is ruined due to poor ergonomics and a fit that is not just there. I have read some other reviews and in some cases they do fit well in some ear sizes. But that is a risk I would not reccomend you to take. So I DO NOT reccomend them. I hope this helps. Cheers!
