Great quality and sound
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the sound of my earbuds and the ease of use. However, I was not able to get NFC to work with my Galaxy S5. The carrying case that comes with them is very good and sturdy. The Bluetooth works very well and connects fast. The cord controller is a little loose but still works well. The earbuds come with 8 different ear tips so that they fit everyone and they are held one very securely. I wore mine for 2 hours straight with no pain, un heard of for me. They have a good heft that does not throw them off my head but shows they are sturdy.

Good headphones
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good for a workout - they stay on due to the loop around style and sound great! Really good bass and treble on these headphones. I personally prefer earphones that don't have the loop around style like these, but that's merely a personal preference. If you like this style, I highly recommend.

Worth Every pennie
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First of let me start by saying that I have purchased and returned the following Jaybird freedom (device failure), Bose sound sport (Bad fitment, mediocre sound quality) & JBL Under Armor (Horrible sound Quality)... These ear buds have been the best $100 dollars I have spent . They have great sound quality, SPECIALLY BASS. They are sweat proof, fitment is good if you're moving constantly. Battery time is well about 3 hours using them at MAX volume. You cant go wrong with these.

Not a Sony product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loyal Sony customer but this headphones really disappointed, signal broke more and more with the use, by the 4th time I couldn't move mi head sideways because the signal will cut completely. Returned this and got a Bose. Sad to give a bad review but they fail.

Non-starter for me unfortunately
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sport bluetooth headphones deliver in the sound department, but the design and operation is cumbersome and awkward, making these difficult for me to recommend over other, better options. I wear glasses and that makes putting these on more difficult than it already is if you don't wear glasses. Having to wrap the thick, large diameter "loops" around your ears is awkward and I feel like I never really get a nice, secure fit. The band that lays around the nape of your neck also feels a bit strange and having to "close the loop" behind your head to tighten it is also not easy without knocking the ear buds and around ear loop out of proper position. Power/volume/track controls are also suboptimal in that you have to push hard enough for the push to register and the only real way to do that is to use your external ear (your auricle) as leverage to be able to push down hard enough on the buttons. Again, awkward. But, if you can get past all these initial difficulties of putting them on, adjusting them and using the controls, you will definitely get rewarded by excellent sound and bass. However, these initial difficulties have to be dealt with each time you put them on and every time you want to control what you're listening to. So, these headphones are a non-starter for me.

Worth the investment!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Normally do not review but had to for this set. First off, the sound produced is amazing! I've been a long time supporter of Bose for sound quality but hands down have to give it to sony on this one especially for a wireless in ear head set. Pros: Sound quality! Crisp, even with the extra bass. Bass is amazing! Just imaging being able to feel and hear the true intention of each song. Quick charge which means that you can charge for 10 minutes and get an hour or more of listening when on the go. Phone calls sound great from other end compared to other wireless sets. Again, the sound quality. Minor con: Yes, the cable connecting the earphones do cause a sound which is heard when against fabric. This is easily fixed by tightening up the strap and will not be heard when playing music at the level you want. Mainly caused by using collard shirts. If using workout clothes, this will be minimal to non existent. Again, minor compared to the sound quality.

Sound not so good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After wearing Beats for several years, I decided to try these Sony Sports Wireless headphones. Not even close to the clarity of the Beats. I returned them for a refund and purchased Beats again.

Great Headphones for a guy on the go
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony FTW! These headphones are fire great deals going down at BestBuy for the Holidays. Sound is super crisp and the bass knocks just right . Very comfortable and seamlessly integrates with my Bluetooth for music, video and phone calls. Definitely 100x better than my wired apple headphones and make exercising more enjoyable, without having to constantly worry about dropping my phone or pausing the music.

Great headphones for working out!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved these Sony - Xb80bs Extra Bass Sports Wireless In-ear Headphones! They fit great in my ears, and stayed in while I was working out. The sound was crystal clear, and I didn't notice the sound from the connecting wire that other reviewers have noticed. The Bluetooth range was great, and I had no trouble connecting them to both an iPhone 6 and an LG Android phone. Also, I really prefer the black color on these, as some "workout" headphones seem to come in some pretty wild colors. I can heartily recommend these headphones, especially for use while active/working out.
