I love the Sony wearable MP3 player. No more cords to hassle with! I was worried at first that I would lose them, but they stay in my ears really well. The sound is great. They hold a ton of music. It is easy to add music, charge the battery, and operate the controls. I use these for running for hours at a time and they hold a charge forever. I haven't worn them in the pool yet, but I will as soon as it gets warm enough.

Almost the perfect wireless headphones. Big sound, good fit ( once you figure out how to fit them properly ), light weight, stays put while running. Only have to charge them every 4 days. I just wish they were Bluetooth compatible so I could link it to my phone so I don't have to take them off to answer the phone.

Bought this mp3 player to use at the pool and during lawn mowing. Works great for both! I haven't used it under water, but have had it wet and works great. I wish there was a bit more memory, as it takes 3 hours to mow my lawn. Battery life is really good,lasts at least three hours on a charge; charges via USB to laptop. Easy to load music. I felt it was pricey for only a 4 gb memory, but the compact size and ease of use - no wires to worry about - makes it perfect for my use.

Tried all the different types of waterproof headphones. These are the best. They come with swimming buds and regular buds. The regular buds are good for swimming and sound better. It has a shuffle mode. If you put the goggle straps over the headphone straps, they will stay in very well. I swim a couple of hours a day and love them. Worth the money.

This is my third set of Sony headphones. I use them daily, love the way they improve the quality of my life, they're lightweight, easy to operate and update, etc. The problem is with the USB charger, which quits working from time to time. I'm told to clean the contact heads, but that doesn't work well. I've had to make multiple exchanges for this reason. All said, I love the product.

Wow!!!...again wow! With all the technology why is there not a way to inexpensively play my music sans a phone via Bluetooth headphones? I like to run with music but don't want to carry a phone (they're giant these days) & wrist devises like the apple watch are too expensive. These headphones play my music for bourse, they're comfortable, & no external music player required. These are basic yet futuristic all in one since they play music for an extended period at a low cost without an external pairing device necessary

QuestionAre the headphones really waterproof?My headphones worked only 3 times. After that I haven't been able to charge them.
Asked 10 years ago by Ivan Bustillo.
This question was asked about the related product: Sony - 4GB* Wearable Sports MP3 Player - Blue
- Answer I have had 2 pair to wear for working out and they are great while they work. The first one lasted about 3 months and then started having trouble with playing controls. I bought a second pair and they lasted about 3 weeks and started messing up also. I did not wear them to swim but just in the steam sauna and whirlpool not submerged. Exposed to some water but not under it. Great sound and operation if they would just last. Was thinking of one more try but have already spent over $200.00 on this product so I think I am done......
