    Excellent pair of earbuds. A clearer, richer quality of sound over other name brands. Enriches listening through all types of applications and devices. Mahalo Sony!

    It takes a bit to find a true noise cancelling mode on the earbuds, but once you do they are very good.

    Amazing Sound Quality, Otherwise Garbage

    Sound quality is unrivaled. Nose cancellation is unrivaled. Doesn't matter when you essentially can't use them for phone calls. App on Android disappears so you have to search it in the app store to open it. Can't modify tap functions so if you try to adjust an earbud in a call you end up hanging up on the call. App is absolute trash and Sony should be ashamed.
