5.0 out of 5 stars I AM IMPRESSED
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024
The product arrived well packaged. There was a delivery delay but it was not horrendous and to be expected given that it was ordered during Parime Days,

The headphones arrived almost fully charged, Set up was relatively easy, but you really do need to use their app to complete the set up process. The app also allows you to change some settings and select equalizer settings that work for you.

The switches have a nice feel to them. They do have raised areas designed to help you find the correct switch by feel. There are times however when I find that it is easier to adjust the volume using the phone or I remove the headphone to make a change. This is a very subjective items so you may not have the same issue. No stars were deducted for that reason.

These are an on ear device. It was not uncomfortable to me, but it did take some getting used to and here again...Personal preference comes into play. On a warm and humid day you may experience some sweating where the ear cup rides on your ear. That may allow for some movement / shifting of the headphone depending on what you are doing. They may thus not work out well for use doing exercising as an example.

The sound quality is great at this price point. I have Bose ear buds. The sound from this device is not Bose quality and you should not expect it to be Bose quality. It is good to very good however. The equalizer settings allow you to control all five typical equalizer settings PLUS a separate adjustment for th4 bass.

Paring was easy and fast. The connection remains stable most of the time. There is a selection that allows you to select either top quality sound or a more stable connection. I chose sound quality an the vast majority of the time the connection was stable with no noise present. There may be times however, that due to local conditions / interference you may have a little popping or very brief drop out. I have worn these headphones a LOT since they arrived and while I have experienced that, it was very limited. Now I also have a lot of electric / electronic devices in use on my property and that will may explain what I experienced. I did have some interference from some household devices when I wass very close to them.

The battery life seems to be very good. I have worn m for several hours and the voice system still indicates 100% at startup. Unlike my Bose products the battery monitoring system is not linear where it will call out 100%, 90%, 80%b etc... It may call out 100% until the battery hits 50% (As an example) and then te voice system will drop from stating 100% to 50%. I do not see that as an issue or negative given the very long stated by the manufacturer battery life, and I have no disagreement with their claims about battery life aty this point in time,

So again...Thus far I am very pleased with the fit, quality, and sound quality of these headphones. Do bed aware that tey are NOT noise cancelling. There will be some outside noise reduction dur to the ear cups of course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value! Music & Phone as well!

Great sound quality. You add an app for the headphones that allows you to adjust settings for your preferences. The headphones are lightweight and comfortable, just wish they folded up. A big plus is that you can use your phone with them. The microphone provides clear sound that isn’t distorted - just as if I had my phone at my ear instead of my pocket.
I have always had good results with Sony, and these are showing the quality I expect at a price that most other devices don’t match. It arrived fully charged, though I would like a longer cable as it is only about 9 inches long. It charges quickly, and the charge lasts a long time. The controls are easy to use to adjust volume. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend them.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for the price
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2024
i paid $38 for these while they were on sale. for that price, i think they’re fabulous. is the sound quality the best? nope, my beats/bose headphones are better. i’d even say that my airpods have better sound as well. with that said, the sound quality on these isn’t bad. i also love the blue color, and how lightweight and comfortable they feel on my head. not to mention, the battery life is quite impressive. for $38, they are perfect headphones for me to do schoolwork on my laptop with, and for that i’m giving them 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Headphones but..
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2023
UPDATE (Dec 10, 2023): This is going to be my last update probably, but I finally got around to testing the calling feature accidentally and it works great. Friend was able to hear me clearly and loudly while I was walking around crowded areas and I didn't have to talk so loudly when calling. My talking volume was like when you talk to a friend that's right beside you. Kind of like loud whispering haha, had no problems connecting the headphones to the call at all either, super easy process :)

UPDATE (Nov 22, 2023): For those wondering, nearing the 1st-2nd week of October the battery finally went down to 75% and than later it went down to 50% so the battery did in fact last for a month (maybe even longer if I didn't charge it). I used it for a couple hours (1-3hrs) between classes, though I didn't use these headphones everyday so that may be why it lasted for a month. The app connected with the headphones works great and bluetooth still works fine, no random disconnects. I still agree with everything I said in my previous update!

UPDATE (Sept 30, 2023): So it's been about a month of usage and the battery life is absolutely insane. I haven't charged it since the day I got it (Sept 4, 2023) and it's been a blast. These headphones are pretty durable. I can confidently throw them in my bookbag and not have to worry it might get damaged. I also don't have any issues with the headphones getting dirty easily (specifically the white version) if that's a concern you may have. Sound leaking is still apparent, I always have to be conscious about my volume being too high or not in a quiet room which is still something I can't get used to. I noticed the more I used the headphones, the less tension it caused for my ears and the more my ears started to adjust to them. I think at first your ears may feel tight, but after awhile it kinda gets used to it and hurts less, at least, that's how it was for me. Headphones are still going strong and still look brand new. 100% would recommend

ORIGINAL REVIEW (Sept 4, 2023):

To address the other reviews I've been seeing, here's what I've come to terms with:

WHAT I LIKED:
- Very sleek and minimalist. I live for the design, I think it's a great and very aesthetically pleasing.
- You have the option of changing the EQ setting (I changed it so bass can be more and they sound great even without tweaking the settings. Big fan of this feature as this is my first time ever being able to control the EQ settings)
- Connects easily once you get through the app process + Bluetooth connection is pretty good, doesn't disconnect randomly.
- Sound is good for me. Not very headphone savvy, but I can feel the beat of my music and that's always an A in my books.
- Good PASSIVE noise cancelling, these definitely aren't active noise cancelling, but the padding does make your surroundings a little bit muffled so you don't hear as much. Which is fine with me since I'm planning to go to school with these and need to hear my surroundings most of the time.
- Doesn't bother my earrings, don't even notice they're there.
- Good battery life, nothing to complain about. Works throughout the day and can usually take on a few more days, which I find to be pretty impressive.
- like that it's lightweight, I can put it around my neck without it being bothersome for long periods of time and while walking with them on, I don't feel like there's a weight on my head.

WHAT I NOTICED/OTHERS MAY FIND BOTHERSOME:
- In terms of sound leaking, these DO leak. they leak if you go past 50% or higher. This isn't an issue for me since the sound is already pretty loud at 20-30%, but considering those who love to blast music, it may be an issue.
- hurts your ears when wearing it for too long.
- these do NOT fold. Might be kind of inconvenient if you want to travel a lot with these, though, there are cases to store these specific headphones so it might not be so much of a problem for some.
- the volume up/down and pause buttons are hard to differentiate between. They all kinda feel the same when wearing the headphones and although it's not a big deal to me, it could be inconvenient and frustrating to others.

Haven't tested out connecting w/ 2 devices at the same time, but the things I said above were the things I noticed when I first unboxed and tested them. In my opinion, I think these are great, they work for me, and I like them. Gave it a 4 stars due to all the factors I noticed that may be a hindrance to myself and/or others when wearing these headphones. Otherwise, I think these headphones are worth a try. 9/10 for me

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the quality
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024
I was choosing between this and another similarly priced headphones and I’m so glad I chose these. The quality is instantly noticeable, once you put them on. The app that controls their sound quality and performance is easy to navigate. The volume is never overly loud. These are a good value for the price. I am overly hard on headphones as I wear them daily and for long periods of time. The fit on the ear is perfect for my ears but they are a little tight on the head. The design is simple which hopefully means they will last longer than most I have had.
