Great in ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son got these and he loves them, he usually needs to wear over the ears (xm4) but he got these for when he is working out and he says they are awesome. The only negative he has is that he loses them sometimes because they are small…… but that isn’t Sonys fault

It is recommended changing the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones.
