Could be better
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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. Id go with an earbud that has something that goes over your ear if youre doing anything more then sitting at a desk

Just don't.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Save your money and dont buy these, little after a year of owning them the battery of the right earbud went bad and it would not hold charge and it would die in less than 10 minutes of being used, the left earbud seems to be fine but it cannot even be used if the other one is dead.

||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
