Mediocre Headphone for daily use
The headphone is mediocre for daily use. It is decently comfortable but can’t passively isolate much background noise due to lack of active noise cancellation (ANC). After long use it hurts my ears a little bit but not so much to complain about. The sound quality is good but not excellent. The bass is not upto the expectation. The long battery life is good and for me it lasts for more than 2 weeks with 2-3 hours of use every day. The app is good and lets me adjust the sound profile.

Used for Almost 8 months here is my honest feedback
Pros-* It has good battery time. I have used it excess hours upto 8 hrs in a days and the battery lasted me for 3-4 days.* The sound quality is really great, works well with all kinds of music but after listening to all genre I think techno songs, upbeat songs, jazz songs sounds best.* In – call quality is really the best part of the product, I have attended meetings, interviews and call wih this and never faced issue.* Build quality is great the colours in intact.* Fast charging speed is great.Cons-*The dual connectivity is a joke here, it nevers works..* The earbuds is started to get small scratch after 2 months of usage, so need to be carefull with.* This is not the main concern, but would suggest to get it at when for sale or price is around 3500-3800.

Are they worth the price in 2024 – Detailed review
So if you’re considering to buy this pair of headphones or have already brought it and need a little tweak to the sound to up the excitement, give this review a read. I know it’s somewhat lengthy 🙁 but if you’ve already bought this pair, skip to the last part, that is, bonus.Sound quality:-Pretty good. As you might know, Sony is Sony when it comes to sound. The audio is clear and has that calm, balanced profile that I prefer to the bass oriented profiles of BoAt and JBL. If you are a basshead, I don’t think these headphones will be your go to. But if you’ve been using bass heavy headphones, you will feel and instant change in audio quality and the overall beauty of music once you switch to a Sony device. Keep in mind that I’m not a professional audiophile or something. I love listening to quality music and watching movies and these headphones are perfect. I use Apple music and the sound is bliss, idk about Spotify though but I think it will fare equally well. I like bass and these headphones do provide bass, just that they are not overkill and distort the entire sound looking for it. These feel more premium in the sound department. However some people might feel a lack of excitement in their sound out of the box. Worry not, I’ve added an EQ tweak to fix your problem at the end of this review.Specs:- 30mm drivers. So not as loud as the 40mm ones BoAt and JBL offer in this price range. But I’ve felt (personally) the audio quality to be better. Bluetooth 5.2 which is solid. Multipoint connection makes sure that this will not be outdated soon. They’ve been released in 2023 and will remain in contention for atleast a couple of years. Multipoint has to be turned on in headphones app and I use it to connect the headphones to my Macbook to watch movies and to my android phone, which might be on charging or in another room, to attend calls. The switching is seamless and works well. They don’t have touch controls though, so it will take a couple of tries to learn to get the buttons right, especially in a dark room. They have DSEE which is basically a feature to enhance low quality/ compressed audios downloaded from internet. It has to be turned on in the app and is not needed for Spotify or Apple music as they are already best quality music and DSEE takes up additional battery charge. Battery is solid. They were 70% out of the box and after 20 hr playback still had 50% left. So I guess they’ll last for atleast 50 hrs like they claim on the box. I don’t like charging my devices all the time and I use them for max 5 hrs a day for which they will last close to 2 weeks which is good. No ANC though, it’s not a problem for me but if it is for you, don’t buy. Mic is good, I’ve attended calls in the midst of traffic and they were pretty fine.Comfort:-I’ve tried many midrange headphones and these are some of the best in terms of comfort too. Soft earcups that sit compact on my ear. However if they are not positioned properly, they might exert pressure. But on proper positioning, they will give 2 to 2.5 hours playback without any discomfort. After that you will have to take a break. I don’t have big ears btw. They are lightweight and have an adjustable headband with cushion. So as far as on ear headphones are concerned, these are comfortable.Build:-Plastic but feels durable. Not creaking. The earcups are the types which forms wrinkles, they look durable but I don’t know if they will pinch unless I use it for atleast 6 months. Anyway these have replacement earcups available online and in Sony service centers. I have one near my house. I don’t think they are sweat resistant so don’t use it for workouts. For jogging they will stay in place once positioned compactly, but for running they will slip off ear.Drawbacks:-Lack of aux cable. Once you are out of charge, that’s that. It says they support fast charging on box, but I haven’t tried that so idk. Normally takes 2 hours atleast to charge from 20 to 100. Another drawback is portability. They are not foldable and even though the plastic feels durable, I’d suggest you don’t bump them much. While travelling either buy a case or carry them around in the box they come with (don’t worry about looking cheap, the box doesn’t have anything like specs or other bs written on it. Only thing written is Sony. It’s inside the white cover that mentions specs).Conclusion:-They offer value for money if you ask me. The sound is premium for a budget segment and not too bass oriented. The headphone app means it will get firmware updates and has some listening modes that actually work, it is not a gimmick. They look and feel premium too. And unlike Anker or ATH, they have service centers all over so if any issue pops up, that’s an added boost too. The don’t have an in box warranty card but worry not, the moment you connect your device to the headphones app they are registered. Keep the Amazon invoice with you, in the box or download it in pdf form from your orders section.Bonus:-If the headphones lack excitement to you out of the box, the headphones app offer some preset EQ. But I will share this tweak I found from reddit. They worked for me so if you don’t know how to configure the EQ on your own, try this;Select manual on EQ in Sony headphones app.Put 400 to 2.Put 1k to 4.Put 2.5k to 7.Put 6.3k to 7.Put 16k to 5.Put clear bass to 2.Try out this tweak and see if it works for you. This works on some higher end Sony models too. Enjoy your headphones!!!

Good product
Pros:1) The sound quality is good.2) If you are looking for decent headset which has all amenities.3) Connectivity and functionality is fine and its compatible with IOS as well which is great!!!!4) Battery as of now hasnt had any problem.Cons:1) The noise cancellation could have been better.2) The headset does not suit for everyone in terms of head size. These are fine only with the person having smaller or average size.3) It doesnt suit for gaming.4) Sound mixture of high and low can be designed well as i feel its flat in few places where it could have been better.

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.

These headphones are a fantastic buy. Over the years I’ve bought quite a few lower-proced options, because I couldn’t see the point in spending a fortune on just, well, headphones. I love my music, but I have better things to do with hundreds of dollars.Tired of endless buzz from cheaper options, I spent a tiny bit more to buy these – and I was blown away. Wow, is all I can say. The sound is incredible. They’re light and comfortable on the ear. And they also fold up small to fit into a small bag.I also found they charge pretty quickly in about 3 hours and play for ages before needing a new charge – mine lasted for about 48 hours when I first tested them.Overall, this was a very good buy.
