    It worked good for the first year, then with all their updates now only one ear bud works properly. The other sides battery dies faster. I’ve done all the suggested troubleshooting and it still doesn’t work.

    It was total waste of money. These didn’t lasted a year. These also has the battery issue as other models. One of the side drains battery in 4-5 minutes of use. I am surprised of Sony quality control. How could they can launch a model with faulty battery. Unfortunately I am out of warranty so no luck with customer support too. While the Bose earbud I bought along with this headset is working rock solid.

      I hope this helps.

    Loved them at first and couldn't believe how great they sounded and cut out noise better then my over the ear Sennheiser. But after a couple months of using them sometimes one stops working or I get a high pitch screatching sound and also the fall out of my ears all the time. Not good for being active at all.
