ok bluetooth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was told to get these to replace by Skull Candy one. I do not love the earpiece. I like the kind with the neck band better.

Sound quality ok but prefer smaller ear piece
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality was ok, but not as good as skullcandys in my opinion. The ear pieces were too bulky for my small ears.

Loses midrange and tweeters
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good set of earbuds, but overemphasized bass without balancing midrange and tweeters is not good.

Hard to Beat for the Price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony XB50BS to use after my PowerBeats3 stopped working (for the fourth time) and we in for repair (again). They were on sale, and given the price and packaging, I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. They sound every bit as good as the Beats, if a bit more bass heavy, and cost $150 less. They work reliably, have usable audio cues (power on, power off, Bluetooth paired, etc.) so you know what they’re up to at all times. They work consistently, charge fairly quickly, and sound good. Really satisfied with the purchase. I’ve not encountered anything even close at the price. They are definitely NOT audiophile grade but again, they’re not in that price range.
I would recommend this to a friend Sound good but quit working
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had these headphones right at 2 years and they've recently just stopped working I'm not sure if it's because moisture got into them but that's what I suspect I use them quite often when working out or doing yard work and maybe moisture got into the casing that they won't take a charge anymore
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Sound quality

Didn’t stay in my ears!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m very upset with this product!! I ordered according to the reviews, maybe is my ears or something, but they didn’t work for me. They came out when I was jogging. I was so excited when I got them, didn’t even keep my receipt thinking I was going to like them. I gave them to my son. Hope this is helpful before you buy this.
