My 4th pair in 15 years. Amazing product. Last one lasted me for 4 years. Heavy duty and durable and comes with an amazing sound quality. Can't go wrong with Sony's sound. I'll recommend this product to anyone. It is affordable unlike other more expensive sound brands. I've used the shit out of my last pair during my workouts. Amazed that it had lasted me 4 years considering that I don't take good care of my stuff . I'm very happy with the sale price too. Bought it for $146

Good

Overall good. But could be great. Fit ok but know matter what tips I use the feel like they are going to fall out even pushing them in more doesn't help and they become uncomfortable to wear. The sound quality is fine but nothing special. I would expect alot better for the price point., especially from sony.

Good allaround headset but may not fit everyone, and are only Bluetooth 2.0

Best if you could try them first, because the fitting is most important. If not matching your ear-canals properly you will either get a poor sound-quality or your ears will hurt after a short-while. When having a good fit, the sound is great and the buttons are intuitive to use. Ambient sound feature is also very helpful when being outdoors (walking the dog or jogging). When using the headset for making calls, the microphone's quality is reasonable, especially when you are indoors, but don't expect too much. The device supports Bluetooth 2.0 which is quite old - the volume-level of the headset is separate from your phone's playback volume. There is no battery-level indication of the headset on your phone (you need to rely on the LED-indicator), but you can overcome ... MoreBest if you could try them first, because the fitting is most important.

Great for use in pool as easy to use

This is my third pair of Sony waterproof headphones, which I find easy to control while swimming. They are comfortable and sound quality isn't bad.Obviously I do like the product, because of above reasons, however I am not happy with their lasting ability. The first pair I had lasted two years, second pair only fourteen months, this is with same usage. I look after them always clean and dry well after swimming in pool and have never used in the sea. Also the price has increased a lot as well over the year, I went for the Bluetooth this time as was only a small amount of money more, will be interesting to see how long this one lasts. I have recommended this products to many people who I swim with, as it helps to ease boredom of swimming an hour, whilst listening to ... MoreThis is my third pair of Sony waterproof headphones, which I find easy to control while swimming.

Nice piece of equipment

I purchased this product after trying and returning the Finnis Duo. This Headphone is very neatly designed and simple to use. Uploading your music is a doddle just like any other MP3 player. The Bluetooth is handy as you can answer phone calls during your workouts and still continue with what you’re doing. The Bluetooth does not work while you’re in the water .You could use the Bluetooth to stream your music from your phone. But not much point as you could transfer the music to the headset itself. You will also notice that the battery will drain much quicker with Bluetooth on, so use it only if you can't manage without it.While swimming I found the music quality very acceptable. Once you begin to integrate these into your swimming session you do miss them on the ... MoreI purchased this product after trying and returning the Finnis Duo.

Once you begin to integrate these into your swimming session you do miss them on the day that you forget to pack them in your bag. I usually swim for around an hour and they really help alleviate the boredom. In fact time does fly when you’re listening to your favourite tracks. The only issue I found was if you push off the pool wall very energetically they are likely to pop out of your ear canal. As I swim in 10m pool I don't really need to push so hard but you may if you were in a larger pool.The instructions do advise that you run your goggles over the headphone in order to hold them in place. I found this to be a little uncomfortable so didn't bother experimenting any further as it wasn’t a major problem for me. But I'm assuming they would not be "dive proof”, they will almost certainly get whipped off.They have a feature that allows you to hear sound around you. So if someone is talking to you in the gym you can still hear them as well as the music. I haven't used this feature so can’t comment. I prefer to be left alone in the gym so just turn it up full blast.They are very neat for the gym and as there is no wires you do feel free to whatever you like.Great looking design and look great around your head.Make sure you don't forget them in the gym, you’re not going to get them back.

Not Great

Not great, wire at the back is tight, Bluetooth did not work, and sounds quality was poor (especially when using in water), would not purchase again. Return process took multiple phone calls, for about 2 weeks. Expensive as-well for a pair of essentially wired headphones. Just buy a pair of AirPods for half the price.

short shelf life

This is not the first of these mp3 players I have bought and only one has ever lasted more than a year. The last two only worked for six months and nine months. I follow the instructions and take care of the product. I've had this less than a month and already it has switched itself to 'shuffle' which is no good for audiobooks, and the sound in one speaker disappeared for an hour. If I knew of another product with the same spec I would buy it instead.
