Sony Wireless headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these headphones so I can exercise and listen to music without a card. The sound quality is excellent which I expected nothing less from Sony. I have only had these head phones for two days but they are performing well I would only recommend if you have a big neck like me you have to be careful because its made for small neck people.

Big sound for less
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These connected easily, have good battery life and really deliver on sound quality including bass. All of the benefits of the popular names at half to a third of the cost. I work out in them and they stay in place even when running or doing plyometrics. Very satisfied with them.

Great sound for a modest price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You don't have to pay 200 bucks to get great sound from wireless earbuds. The ear pieces feel tight and secure, the "mini-speakers" deliver just the right amount of bass.

SONY does not stand behind their product!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The adhesive failed on the panel that holds this together (see picture). They kept coming apart at random. This in turn caused the small red wires to fray so that there is no longer any sound on the one side. I called Sony customer service at 1-888-222-7669 and they told me this was somehow my fault for "misuse" of the headphones! All I did was place them in my ears and take them out. Hardly a "misuse"! The Sony rep said something about how the percentage of people reporting this issue somehow meant that it was a "misuse". What a joke! I'll never buy Sony again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes it stay put in your ears?
Asked by Jon.
- A:Answer If you're not super active, like running on a treadmill or doing heavy cardio, then yes, they're great in the ears once you find your right sized tip. They come with 4 different sizes, so that's no problem. However, I have found that when I'm running on the treadmill they slip a little, but they have never come out of my ear entirely.

Q: QuestionWill these work with iPods? Is there a way to use as a "wired" headphones if the battery life has expired?
Asked by Anonymous.

Q: QuestionHow good is the sound.
Asked by Scotty.
- A:Answer I was very skeptical about the sound. Not any more. I'm glad I bought these. They have great sound.

Q: QuestionCan I shower while using these?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Honestly, I wouldn't risk it. These are IPX4 rated, meaning they are "splash resistant" but not "waterproof". You shouldn't have issues in a light rain but showers have increased heat and pressure, making water damage far more likely. I wouldn't want anything less than an IPX6 rating for use in a shower but 7+ would be preferable, as those ratings are for continued submersion in water.

Q: QuestionDoes it vibrate to indicate an incoming call on cell phone?
Asked by notification.
- A:Answer Hi there! It does not vibrate, when an incoming call arrives, a ring tone will be heard from the headset, and the indicator (blue) flashes quickly. -Jerome
Answered by SonyListens
Q: QuestionHow are these headphones for running? Could they stay in place for 5k - 10k or longer distances?
Asked by runninFool.
- A:Answer They are pretty solid in the ear once you figure out the proper sized of ear plugs to use! (It comes with a ton of different sizes)
Answered by Mike
Q: QuestionHow bass heavy are these? I like pretty heavy bass in my music. I've been using a pair of Bass Monster brand but they keep having to be replaced due to battery issues..and on that note, how well do they keep a charge?
Asked by MizeryMachine.
- A:Answer With a tight fit they sound close to the Jaybird freedoms. Once you customize the eq in the app they sound excellent for their size. No issues with holding a charge with daily use. So far as advertised
