Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t like the fact that they had touch controls. My ears are small so with headphones like these i have to push them in a lot. Everytime I wound push them back in some control would go off, which was very frustrating. Didn’t feel stable in my ears and would start sliding every couple of seconds. I returned and i’m sticking to my Beats pros.

Posted .Hi Isabella,
Thank you for the review and we do apologize for the inconvenience. It is unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. If the unit is still with you, please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. To adjust the fit of the headset to your ears, make sure to twist the headset unit to slide the earbud tip deep into your ear canal.

Fatal flaw in battery
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't get me wrong, I am very much happy with the overall performance with these earbuds. They are comfortable, have a nice sound quality, good bass, and excellent ANC. However, despite the battery life being decent, around the 1.5 year mark the right earbud NOSEDIVED. The left earbud functions completely fine, while the right earbud dies within 30 minutes from a 100% charge. This is a known problem among the community surrounding this device, some people struggle with the left earbud, some on the right earbud, but the story is the same, around the same time owning this device, one earbud with entirely fail on you. I love this device, and want to support it, but I can't. Reaching out to customer service gave me troubleshooting solutions and a referral to a third party repair service, nothing more since I was just outside the warranty window. They were polite and willing to help until they knew my device wasn't in warranty. I'm sorry but at $200 this device should last more than a year and a half, this is a fatal flaw in the battery, not normal battery decay you get with most devices. The community loves this device Sony, and I love your products, but you failed us with this one.

Early battery life degradation
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.*When it works* this is a very good product -- good sound, good ANC, relatively easy to use. What is disqualifying is how fast the battery life deteriorated in the right earbud (after a little more than a year of not heavy use) -- down to an erratic 15-30 minutes before exhaustion. Of course, >12 mos. is beyond warranty coverage, and all that Sony will do is throw a litany of reset steps at you before referring you to their hand-selected repair service. What's frustrating is that this seems to be a long-existing problem for which Sony has no effective fix. I'd buy another pair if I could be confident that the battery life issue wouldn't repeat itself, but I have no such trust. Also don't believe that repair could possibly be cost-effective over replacement. Bottom line, it's a good product *if* you can keep it working for more than a few mins at a stretch. Currently shopping for other brands to replace.
