    Nice product. It would be a lot nicer if volume was louder.

    I love the Sony wearable MP3 player. No more cords to hassle with! I was worried at first that I would lose them, but they stay in my ears really well. The sound is great. They hold a ton of music. It is easy to add music, charge the battery, and operate the controls. I use these for running for hours at a time and they hold a charge forever. I haven't worn them in the pool yet, but I will as soon as it gets warm enough.

    Almost the perfect wireless headphones. Big sound, good fit ( once you figure out how to fit them properly ), light weight, stays put while running. Only have to charge them every 4 days. I just wish they were Bluetooth compatible so I could link it to my phone so I don't have to take them off to answer the phone.

    Great mp3 player for outdoor use.

    Bought this mp3 player to use at the pool and during lawn mowing. Works great for both! I haven't used it under water, but have had it wet and works great. I wish there was a bit more memory, as it takes 3 hours to mow my lawn. Battery life is really good,lasts at least three hours on a charge; charges via USB to laptop. Easy to load music. I felt it was pricey for only a 4 gb memory, but the compact size and ease of use - no wires to worry about - makes it perfect for my use.

    Tried all the different types of waterproof headphones. These are the best. They come with swimming buds and regular buds. The regular buds are good for swimming and sound better. It has a shuffle mode. If you put the goggle straps over the headphone straps, they will stay in very well. I swim a couple of hours a day and love them. Worth the money.

    This MP3 player is awesome! 4gb is plenty space for workouts, runs, etc. The ease of use is great and it accepts almost all formats! Sound quality is wonderful as well. Nothing but good things to say about this product!

    This is my third set of Sony headphones. I use them daily, love the way they improve the quality of my life, they're lightweight, easy to operate and update, etc. The problem is with the USB charger, which quits working from time to time. I'm told to clean the contact heads, but that doesn't work well. I've had to make multiple exchanges for this reason. All said, I love the product.

    Music sans phone/watch

    Wow!!!...again wow! With all the technology why is there not a way to inexpensively play my music sans a phone via Bluetooth headphones? I like to run with music but don't want to carry a phone (they're giant these days) & wrist devises like the apple watch are too expensive. These headphones play my music for bourse, they're comfortable, & no external music player required. These are basic yet futuristic all in one since they play music for an extended period at a low cost without an external pairing device necessary

    These are great. Just what I wanted. The sound isn't perfect. (not much base) I also wish the volume went higher. Easy to use controls. Head phones stay on pretty good while swimming. I have used mine around 10 times now.

    I recently started getting back into swimming, and one of my biggest issues was getting bored lap after lap I wished that something would break the monotony of lap swimming. I looked into other waterproofed MP3 players and didn't like the fact that most of them had headphones and a separate memory unit. Sony's design of combining the two aspects of the MP3 player was pretty spot on. Wear and fit was pretty comfortable. 4gb of space is all you need for a few hours of music. The only issue I had was that i wanted the sound level to go higher and if you kick off the wall too hard, the headphones had a tendency to come off. Great for moderate level lap swimming, not Michael Phelps.

    The sound is decent considering these are waterproof headphones. The battery life is amazing! I have been able to use it for an hour everyday for a week without recharging. It works with iTunes but only with newer purchases that are not protected with DRM. When you use them underwater they especially sound amazing!

    Pro: Nice and protable system Good sound Good battery back-up Cons: 1. Needs care as it has to be kept away from sharp objects (connecting wire might get damaged), I wish Sony had bundled case with it. 2. I found buttons bit hard to operate, sometimes have to apply extra force. Overall I like this product, it adds to my love towards Sony. :)

    I couldn't believe it when I saw that these headphones are waterproof until I tried them out. For years I've always wanted to listen to music while I'm swimming and now I can. No water goes into my ears and the sound of music does not change if I go underwater.

    This product is great in the pool. I usually swim for 30 minutes to 60 minutes. Adjusting at first is tricky for it to stay in the ear. The sound quality is not Bose but I would not exercise as long without music. The on off is tricky lighting could be better on power on etc. Setting up playlists and software needs improvement. All in all I highly recommend this and it is a good value ! Battery life is not an issue at all. I will use this on the Bicycle too though my IPAD Nano is my favorite for the bike, running, and gym.

    Perfect MP3 Player for workouts!

    I got this device as a replacement to a prior generation of this same device. They made BIG improvements such as this one being waterproof, the unit is smaller, strap is adjustable, there is an on/off switch lock to prevent it from turning on in your gym bag (which happened all the time with the older model!) and battery life appears to much better this go around. This is my go-do audio for workouts and now my old ipods and other mp3 players are collecting dust...!

    Good sound. Convenient self-contained form for running and swimming. I've had this device for several weeks now and find it superior to any prior headset. If all you need is compact MP3 playback, this is the way to go. Oh, and clever recharge/data-transfer docking mechanism.

    This is so convenient to use in the pool, load songs on it via the computer, charge it via the computer then put it on your head and off you go. Works very well, I have used about a dozen of these type players over the years, had problems with them all. Not this one
