   I got these for work. I’m a HVAC tech and have tried five other brands until I found these. These are probably the best headphones I’ve ever had. Battery life, about ten hours so my entire work day I only use one at a time and I never have to change it. These sound just as good as my Sony wfxm3s and these are a fraction of the price with longer battery life. Very comfortable probably the most comfortable of any headphones I’ve worn. Sony is the only brand of headphones where if in on the phone the person on the other end isn’t complaining about not being able to hear me and that’s very important for my job because if someone calls I can keep working. The One thing I wish was different is you cannot reprogram them. So like I said I only use one at a time. The left one, the button does volume. The right will pause and play. I wish I could make both function like the right one. Minor issue, other than that they’re perfect the best headphones I have ever tried.

   I enjoy neutral and accurate sound. I would choose these over Google Pixel Buds because the pixel buds have no bass, hurt my ears, and have no sound isolation. These are comfy, have pretty good sound and battery life, and good sound isolation (even without supporting noice cancelling). For the price ($60 on sale) these have been a great value.

   Not sure why there were so many negative reviews. I purchased these earbuds and they sound better than several pairs that I purchased on Amazon and had to send back. The sound is clear I can hear the person I’m speaking with the person can hear me that I’m speaking with. My music sound decent I caught these on sale for $59 so that was great but even at the original price of $99 I think it’s a good price for these earbuds. I should have known you can’t go wrong with Sony and I’m glad that I purchased these earbuds I really like them.

   This is my first pair of true wireless headphones, I’m listening as I write this, and I haven’t written a review in years. I’m not a fan of bluetooth, so I was skeptical of buying these, but needed something for a long flight. For reference, I’m not an “audiophile”, but my home hifi system cost 10k, is very minimalist (Hegel H190 w/ KEF Ref1s) and sounds pretty amazing.About ten years ago, it occurred to me that we would soon have an audio version of Google Glass, and it has been entertaining watching this slowly manifest in these types of headphones. This concept is very much in its infancy and I’m not surprised to see an overlap in market between tech users and the hearing impaired community. Soon, I imagine that there will be intelligent noise cancellation (select for/against certain “waveprints” i.e. FOR your friends voice at a crowded restaurant and AGAINST the crying baby sitting across the room) and the unique waveprint of your voice will be included with your general contact information. Infinite other applications, but I digress.I was surprised to see the breadth of the market, with so many companies doing gymnastics to distinguish themselves, and failing miserably in the reviews. And you would think that humanity would have mastered bluetooth pairing and connection by now, but for so many of these products, that is not the case. Sooo many dumb dumb dumb products out there, poorly designed and with little to no product testing or quality control, banking on what’s left of their brand coupled with the nuisance of having to return a terrible product. But this isn’t one of them.I think that Sony has nailed it with these headphones. There is definitely room for improvement, but not at this price point. The product arrives in a tiny little biodegradable box (which I love) with no frills or desperate attempts to gain first impressions. Cost has been reduced on the carrying case materials (good!) and there are little magnets which hold the buds in place (love it!). I plugged them in to charge for a bit, then put them in my ears. I was pleasantly surprised to hear them automatically pair, upon release from the charger, and connect to my Samsung Galaxy A50. I then put on Spotify, which has a somewhat poor bitrate to begin with (320 kbps) and is cheapened even further by bluetooth, and got about what I was expecting: a totally adequate though far from stellar sound that was largely out-shined by the newfound convenience and extreme comfort of this ergonomically well designed and executed technology. I then tried them with some high quality recording on high quality FLAC files. I really don’t have much to say about the sound except that it is not offensive. Again, my baseline is a 10K system. The extra space over conventional wired earbuds facilitates bass presence, but there is nothing transcendent or even particularly precise about the mids or highs and no noticeable soundstage. They could possibly benefit from an “open back”, but then you lose the privacy.But no one buys these for hifi sound quality. Most people have never even heard hifi. And so much of hifi depends on the physical environment (i.e. the room) that you could never hold this type of product up to those standards. Certainly not at this price. This success of *this* product carries an extra burden of comfort, convenience, and ease of use. In spite of my system, I have actually found myself wearing these around the apartment so I can listen at higher volumes late at night. They are ridiculously comfortable as so many other products fail so miserably at this most basic and essential function, and I honestly forget that I am wearing them. And the controls are simple and intuitive and don’t have any stupid design flaws that make you want to strangle the designer. AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO USE AN APP (though one is available) WHICH MEANS YOU DON’T HAVE TO GIVE YOUR PERSONAL DATA TO A PSYCHOPATH! And again, the sound is adequate and inoffensive, and in my lack of experience, I am unconvinced that a much better sound could be produced, even for another $200/unit. But, this is my first pair, so what do I know?

   The first…the ESSENTIAL reality about in-ear canal buds is to obtain the correct fit, specifically the proper “seal” of the tips. You may end up purchasing supplemental 3rd-party replacement tips. A small inconvenience, as once the proper seal is achieved, external noise is GREATLY reduced…eliminated…the sound is then “in your head”. You will know when the seal is right: no “tinny”, weak sound. Full bass, full imaging. The App allows customized eq settings. I’ve used in-ear canal for over 18 years. These buds, for the money, put quality wireless buds within reach of most everyone.👍👍
