    I Like the other Sonys true sound better. They are slightly cheaper than these . Not that these are bad ! They sound good but the slight differences make the other pair more comfortable for me . But it might just be my funky ears .

    The sound quality is ok. The features are all pretty cool. They have a problem with regularly muting. I’m pretty sure there’s a problem with the pressure sensors that are supposed to detect if they fall out of your ear.
