    Save your time and money. I haven't tested them on a PS5 but for PC, I can safely say they are trash. They are constantly disconnecting from my pc, which is less then 3ft away from them. I need to pull them out of my ears and lean down to my PC to re-establish a connection. EVERY. 5. MINUTES. give or take. The kicker is they worked great for 2 weeks. Then all of a sudden BAMB! Cant stay connected to save my life. At the start of this review, they both disconnected, and now FOR SOME REASON the right one reconnected! I HAVEN'T MOVE OR DONE ANYTHING BUT TYPE THIS REVIEW! That is how unreliable they are. Save your money, time, and don't get frustrated like me. Don't buy them.

      Hi Krist, We're sorry to hear about your experience. This is definitely not what we wanted you to go through.

      To connect your INZONE Buds (WF-G700N) to your PC, you need to use the INZONE Hub application. Here are the steps to follow:12

      Install the INZONE Hub Application:34

      Ensure you have a Windows computer (Windows 10 or later) and an active internet connection.5
      Download and install the latest version of the INZONE Hub application from the official Sony website.12
      Connect the Headphones:

      Plug the USB transceiver into your computer.34
      Turn on the headset and connect it to the computer via Bluetooth.
      Launch the INZONE Hub Application:34

      Open the INZONE Hub application on your computer.34
      If this is your first time launching the application, you will need to go through the Privacy Policy confirmation and Privacy Settings screens.
      Update the INZONE Hub Application (if necessary):34

      If the INZONE Hub application is not up-to-date, a red circle will appear on the gear icon in the lower left corner. Click on the gear icon to go to the settings screen and update the application.6
      Check the Connection:

      Ensure that the headset is properly connected to the INZONE Hub application. You can check the connection status and the firmware version by clicking on Device Settings within the application.16
      If you encounter any issues, such as the headset not connecting, try the following troubleshooting steps:

      Ensure the Bluetooth adapter on your computer is turned on.
      Wake the computer if it is in standby or hibernation mode.
      If the headset has automatically connected to another device, deactivate the Bluetooth function on that device or turn it off.
      Delete the headset pairing information on your computer and perform the pairing again.

      Hello, Yordy. We're sorry to read your WF-G700N left bud is no longer working. Please try resetting them placing both earbuds in the charging case and holding down the buttons on both earbuds simultaneously until their indicator lights start flashing. If the left bud does not respond, try opening the case lid slightly and attempting the reset immediately. In case a simple reset does not resolve the issue, try the factory restore procedure, pressing and holding buttons on both earbuds until the LED indicators flash red and then blue multiple times. This may require multiple attempts if one bud is unresponsive. Also, I leave you here our Help Guide link for you to check the article related with this issue: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2977/v1/en/contents/TP1001273087.html Regards -Jenn Sony_US

      Hi Deeva1969,

      Thank your for sharing your experience with the Sony INZONE Buds. We're truly sorry to hear that you've been experiencing connectivity issues with your earbuds. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and we'd like to have the chance to help you resolve this.

      Here are some useful troubleshooting steps that you can try:

      1. Make sure the software is up to date - You can quickly check if your headset requires a new update by downloading and using the INZONE Hub software.

      2. Try using the earbuds in a different location, away from other wireless LANs, microwave ovens, or other devices that generate electromagnetic waves and can cause interference with your earbuds.

      3. Initializing the headset to restore factory settings - This will delete settings and all pairing information. To initialize the headset, you can follow the instructions in the link below:
      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2977/v1/en/contents/TP1001273101.html?search=restore%20factory%20

    Great at Good!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I absolutely enjoy these earbuds for what they are, not what I want them to be.  I'm a audiophile, and while good bass is to be envied as a creme de la creme. I'm particularly not expecting a lightweight earbud built around long term battery life and good sound to to punch hard. It punches good bass, I'm listening to music now on them as I write this. It's not the great booming I've heard on my Beat pros. Nor is it the resonating vibrations of my Skullcandy Crusher Evos.  That said. I did have to modify my phone case to accommodate the adapter. I understand what they are doing electrically. The design team is smartly outsourcing to the larger power source to push the outgoing transmission, and to have the in the buds the  capacitance reserved for receiving and deploying the sound. It's a triangle diagram shift. I think this is clever. A trick to deliver extended battery life. Smart move design team.  Design team, why was there no instructions on the button usage? I fumbled around tapping haphazardly, making me feel like I skipped something. When, there were no directions. Not fun. Do better. I understand it's a length to translate in different language I suppose. But it's a decency in America at least that's expected. Beats did it. You can too.  Especially for a gaming headset. Which is my main point to bring. If it's a gaming headset. The controls better be defined and precise. Not blatant and blunt tapping. Cool haptic button. No directions? OK. If you're going to say GAMING EARBUDS. I understand you're breaking ground into a supermarket. Bring the bass. Bring the cannon ball! The BANG! GAMING!! There's an expectation with the term. Which is that it can stand the most rigorous, absolutely punishing volumes and duration with excellence. That is where these earbuds excel in one hand and fail in another.  I'm going to enjoy running with these as a lightweight, earbud pair that I can deploy from their lively case. I know they can go on the go, and go for a long time.   They succeed in sustainability; it is their forte. This is their hallmark of brilliance with this pair. The battery life is supreme. It goes the distance as heroes do.  But as heroes do great deeds, do they perform? The do good. They are great at good. If you get my meaning. Where in that capacity consistently good can be seen as greatness. But there is a threshold reserved for true greatness. Ferrari in the excellence of sports cars. Rolex in watches. For example. Their names resound for reasons of quality detail and exquisite epitomizing of the role they play. They are stewards of the opportunity to be what it is.  The inzone buds does not epitomize that, in terms of bass, nor does it in ergonomics in the user interface. But they do great at being good long term use and battery life sustainable earbuds. Good for gaming, on a basic level It can get the job done.  Distinguished by the fact of how the intelligently designed transmitter to receiver operates. It's a smart sustainability move with the specific transmitter. Also because not every pc is built with Bluetooth. I had to buy a USB dongle for my pc build. And not every game system is built with Bluetooth. The logic is that the provided transmitter is a provision for that capacity. Or lack their of. If you get what I mean.  I leave this review to say that it succeeds is A while fails at B. It's a mixed feeling. I hoped that would hit like a Klipsch subwoofer, destroying a Covanent Elite from Halo with a rocket launcher as Master Chief. I didn't get that. I got a sustainable economic battery of a Prius with polite bass.  100% in one area. 0% in the next.  100% for basic gaming. 0% in epic gaming.  I’m content for what they are. Not what I wanted them to be. I was wanting earbuds that were long lasting in battery life for running. I got that! I'm happy to say.  But here's what I would love!  A heavy earbud of the same formfactor. Where the weight is the quality of the metal driver; who achieves the best bass imaginable. An earbud that heroes wear for gaming, as they epically crush their enemies in victory. Gamers are heroes in the making. Equip them. Give them the hammer of Thor: Mjolnir. When they pick these up; may it rise like Arthur's Excalibur, from the boulder it was struck in. That they are worthy to battle. To be in the fight of life as a champion. When they pick these earbuds up that have precise controls they can clearly navigate. May they have a vision of how to navigate the fight acoustically. This is the greatness to be achieved. May these buds rise like a Phoenix from a failure to deliver heroic gaming buds, into buds that Truly deliver. Inzone gaming.  That said; I absolutely enjoy these earbuds for what they are, not what I want them to be. 4/5 stars.
