    Decent earbuds with noise cancellation. Not as great as Jabra or Bose. But overall not bad and the app adds extra functionality.

    These are my favorite headphones. The noise cancellation is amazing. It falls out when I’m riding my scooter so I’d say not great for use when being very active.

    It’s been a little over a year since I purchased these earbuds and the fall off in battery life is very noticeable. I wouldn’t ever recommend these for anyone. I use them everyday I’m at work which is 14 days monthly. They lasted about 3 hrs when I first bought them, now they last 1.5 hrs, a year later. These are by far the worst set of earbuds I’ve ever purchased compared to Jaybirds, Beats and AirPods, regular and Pros.

    Sound is great, they fit perfect in the ear and feel secure while doing activities. Only downside I am having is not being able to wear only one at a time. I have to wear both. I jave tried reaching out to Sony for support and the advice given to me has not fixed the issue. If you don't mind having to wear both, I recommend them. I also sometimes struggle with them connecting automatically to my phone.

    Clear sound with balanced highs and lows without even using the equalizer on Sony app. It provides good thumping bass for workouts and jogging. But the left earbud stopped working after 25 days. Bestbuy did not return because I did not buy their support extra. Though they gave Sony support contact. Sony is replacing it. The whole ordeal was for 15 days. Yet to test my replacement earbuds.
