" ... The real upside for this pair of buds is that they sound decent without isolating outside noises, so people aren't constantly startling me at work, and I feel safe wearing these out for a walk among cyclists and cars. ... "
" ... I can be wearing them, pause the audio, and hear ambient sounds just fine with the earbuds still in place. ... "
" ... As for the sound, it is quite good and has a decent balance. ... "
" ... The sound quality is as good as the Apple EarPods that come with an iPhone, plain and simple. ... They are great for podcast and for audio books too. ... If you are looking for a better sound quality experience for the same amount of money try the Skullcandy Grind wireless. ... "
" ... I love my music, and I expect a quality listening experience from any speaker/headphones I purchase. ... "
" ... Quality Sony sounds are great and cheaper than other competitors ... "
" ... I even fall asleep listening. ... "
" ... Sound - good enough for working out. ... It's V shaped sound profile. ... Overall, I am happy with the purchase with something to be desired for the sound department,(explained above) but the FIT more than make up for it. ... So to sum it up, if you are active, and want waterproof, decent enough sound, get these ! ... "

" ... I find the plastic buds quite comfortable for my ears (similar to Apple's pods design), but there's no adjustability, so if yours don't fit, they're never going to. ... "
" ... The earbuds are very comfortable in the ear--shaped similar to the headphones that come with the iPhone. ... The part that goes around your neck is comfortable, though it could stand to be a little less bulky. ... "
" ... I like the design of the headset, it doesn't move around my neck or anything like that when I have been working in a wharehouse stacking boxes on pallets. ... "
" ... I was now on an extensive search for Bluetooth/wireless headphones that had a similar earbud feel/shape/fit as the ones that come standard issue with the iPhone, price was of little concern, but the sound quality would absolutely have to pack some punch. ... My inner ear canal is grateful too! ... "
" ... -They are discrete and comfortable. ... "
" ... Feel good,good for my gym work! ... "
" ... No pain in ear even after using for the long time. ... "
" ... I am not a fan of the "ear canal" style headsets, which most of the bluetooth ones seem to be. ... Glad I found these, I find them a lot more comfortable and i can still be aware of what's going on around me. ... Comfortable, pairs up very easily and lasted for about 2 weeks before recharging. ...

" ... It takes just 10 minutes to fully charge. ... "
" ... Battery life is short (less than 6 hours), sound is good. ... "
" ... I haven't used the mic function yet, nor have I tested it's battery life, but so far these are solid. ... "
" ... The battery life is pretty solid and it charges very fast, in minutes you'll have a full charge. ... "
" ... Battery life is eight hours and it actually feels like its eight hours of listening to music. ... "
" ... The battery life is excellent and it is very comfortable. ... It also arrived fully charged which is a plus. ... "
" ... - Great battery life: I haven't timed it but they easily last 6 hours listening to music ... "
" ... These sound great, the charge lasts around 7 or 8 hours, I think, but the best part is that they only take 15-20 mins to re-charge. ... "

" ... I believe that it's best feature is making calls! ... "
" ... I've also experienced and received nothing but positive feedback on calls - I can hear them very clearly, and callers hear me just fine. ... "
" ... Sound quality for phone calls is extremely clear and loud enough for public places. ... I make upwards of 20 or more calls a day at work so this helps. ... "
" ... I have to say that the headset does have good sound quality if you are just listening to music but if you try to use it as a headset you will be disappointed. ... "
" ... I jog every morning and when going out of town, perfect for music and phone calls. ... "
" ... They can be used for multiple pursposes, from listening to music to taking calls wireless . ... "
" ... That's a far more comfortable option for me, so I can hear my own voice. ... "
" ... When talking to my husband on the phone, can't tell he's on his headphones. ... "

" ... Now enough volume, having hard time with conversation ... "
" ... The volume is very low and it does not have mute capability on the device. ... "
" ... Light enough but not enough volume. ... "
