    Absolutely disgusted by this purchase. Got water damage, less than 3 months old. Sony doesn't offer warranties, nor has the ability to repair it. Best Buy won't help. This is totally broken, and costs over $300 with tax. Sony's recommendation is to "check the yellow pages and find a repair center". Please, do not purchase these earbuds. They aren't good quality and break very easily with no hope of fix. Connectivity isn't that great either. Sound is ok, not as good as Airpods. Such a waste of money.

    This has the best sound quality, however, I did not like the size and how hard it is to take it off the case. There simply is not enough grip to take it out of the charging case. You have to try it to understand what I am talking about.

    Noise Canceling Features Didn't Work

    Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently purchased these. They have a nice premium weight and feel. However, the earbuds did not fit well no matter what tips I used. Additionally, the noise-canceling features that I was looking forward to did not work as expected. I would not recommend these earbuds to others, as I believe there are better options available on the market in the same price range. It's essential to consider other options before investing in this pair of earbuds, as the overall experience can be frustrating and disappointing if the fitment and / or features do not meet your expectations.
