A:AnswerThey generally are pretty good at muffling surrounding audio, that being said, mic quality is not very good (a common problem for most wireless earbuds). Mic is very quiet so motorcycle might be too loud.

A:AnswerWhen the earbuds are in press tap the left earbud and it should turn off, if not go to the Sony Headphone app and turn it off when they are connect to a phone through bluetooth, work with the headphones too.
A:AnswerI'm a dork so I tried this just for you. The answer is... I kept getting very phone calls and couldn't resist youtube and Tidal so I lost ONE of the ear buds just before 8 hours and charged it for 5 minutes and got another 55 minutes out of it. Close though.
I bet if I had set the app how you mentioned then uninstalled the app and then had volume at about half then it would have made it a lot longer.

A:AnswerBattery tech has changed. I still make sure I charge up ALL the way and then drain all the way but the latest info is just use them. The controller for the batteries are fancy enough nothing even matters. Use and abuse compared to the old days.
A:AnswerThe question was about overall initial availability - not availability at any particular store. They were supposed to be available nationwide already so my best guess is that there was a pretty high volume of pre orders that is leading to a reduction in brick and mortar inventory at release. Taking the time to criticize the question, as the first answer did - is mean spirited and off-putting. Be nicer.
A:AnswerThese have a variety of sizes to choose from. I'm sure you can find a selection to fit. Keep in mind when trying sizes, your ear may not require they same size tip for the ultimate fit.
