A little disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're okay. For the amount of money I paid for these headphones, the sound quality is basic and not all that great. Sounds mostly muffled even if you customize the sound. When I'm active, it loses connection often. And i also hate that I can't charge and use them at the same time. But I will say they are quite comfortable to wear. Nice design. And the blue is nice.

Great sound but do not fit smaller heads
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for gym headphones to drown out the sound around me. The sound quality is amazing with great controls. The reason I am only giving 3 stars is because they fit too loose for me with no way to adjust them. If I move too fast they just slide right off my head. It gets worse with sweat. If you have a smaller head size I wouldn’t recommend. I wear a size 7 fitted hat for reference.

Poor Warranty for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these in Sep2020. They no longer charge. Contacted Sony, the warranty is only good for a year. You must buy the extended warranty to get service. Was provided a number to call for repair. Labor is $74 plus $17 shipping both ways, doesn't include parts. There seems to be an issue with the charging port/system failing. This unit costs too much for it to only last a little over a year before repair is required. I have other unit that have only cost $40-$60 that are still working without issue. Come on Sony! Otherwise, the range is great, battery life, sound quality, noise cancelling and multi device use are exceptional. Disappointed that warranty is so limited and product has failed after a little over a year of use. To be fair, I can still use 3.5mm port to listen but the point was to have a wireless unit.
