Very Happy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once I figured out how to put it in my ear correctly, it is comfortable and sounds amazing. Don't use the noise cancellation, but it does work very well.

Not worth the money.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought a pair of JBL pure bass, zero noise, earbuds that are normally $99 dollars on sale for $69, .That put these to shame. Don't wash your money on these. They have more bass, more clarity, more battery life.

Posted .Hi RandyV,
We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the headphones. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Sound Connect app).
If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. If any of this is the case, try the following.
-Change 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. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different.
-The “Sony Sound Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.
-Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.
Additionally, you can use the Equalizer/CLEAR BASS setting of the Sony app to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs.

Connection problems! Need case to pair! ANC bad!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Today the left earbud stated the battery was low and turned off. I put them in the case to reset for about 1 minutes, took them back out, and they are at 99%. These are complete garbage! These glitch every day. 50% chance one won’t connect to Apple Watch. I’ll have to reinsert into the case, which I don’t carry into the gym with me. If I tap to turn off noise cancelling to talk to someone, one earbud will turn it off and the other won’t. The only fix is to put the earbuds in the case or forget pairing and re-pair them altogether. I don’t bring the case with me into the gym or on a jog, that would be ridiculous. This trend of requiring the charging case to pair is absolutely absurd . If you’re in the gym or out for a jog and the charging case is in your car or at home, you can’t re-pair your earbuds when they glitch. Rebooting your phone or watch doesn’t fix the problem. Repairing is often the only way to fix. Why can’t we long click both earbuds to setup pairing mode? Common Sense! Why does this need to be more difficult than it should be? Imagine needing to put your phone in a special case to pair it to Bluetooth devices. That sounds really foolish right? So why do we require that for earbuds? The ANC is less than average with these. I suspect the foam tips are part of the problem. I’ve had about 6 pairs of earbuds in the past 3 years. These have the worst ANC of them all.
