    These headphones should be half the price. They sound good not great. They feel very cheap and are very creaky on the head. Also, the wear sensor doesn’t work consistently. It didn’t work when I first used them and I had to reset them to get it to work but after wearing them for an extended period, it stopped working again. Also, as an iPhone user not all features are available for my use. Sony failed on this one.
