$300 for this?
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm pretty disappointed in this purchase. I paid $300 for these earbuds and they constantly have issues. The microphone will randomly stop working or will sound really muffled. The earbud tips fell apart after a couple months. The software to control the earbuds has ads when you open it. The "customizable" touch sensors are not truly customizable. Jabra and SkullCandy do a far better job with their software. The ANC is really good and the overall sound is great but not worth the price. Bottom line: Save you money and get something cheaper.

Sony earbud review
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its an excellent product, perfect sounding and great in build noise cancellation. But the downside is it slipped off your hear if you move around too much or if the bass beat sound is too loud. Overall I think its a good product.
