    Purchased for my husband as he has severe tinnitus so while mowing pur yard he can drown out the ringing. The noise canceling helps him to only hear the music he plays and he doesn't hear the sound of the mower or weedeater!! He absolutely loves them

    In chosing my new air bud, the best buy rep was very knowledgeable and with his assistance, i was in a good position to select a product right for my needs. After using the said product for a couple of week now, i am very satisified with the high quality sound clarity i get. This was definitely the air bud for me.

    Much better than Bose QC mic for talking, Samsung Pro buds, Sennheiser Mom 3. Sony is not perfect but much better performance when tested on NYC SUBWAY LINE.THE BEST TESTING GROUND FOR ANC FOR ANY EARBUD. I replaced my earbuds 4x b4 I found Sony, which I kept.

      When the noise canceling function is turned on, you may hear a small amount of noise, but this is due to the characteristics of the noise canceling. You may also find this link helpful:

    After going through 4 pairs of other wireless in-ear headphones, I finally got the nerve to buy the ones. At $250 they are surely expensive but they don't good and on a phone call the other part can here me clearly. They are small, light, with good battery life. If it's within your budget, they are a good choice.

    Great noise cancelling earbuds. Great sound. Love the color. The only thing I did not like is when I used them at the gym they kept slipping out. I am sure it was due to the sweat. So, I use them for work now where I do not sweat as much and they are Perfect!!
