in my comments hey BTW check them out what do you think of them review them for us please so here we are today with the review before we begin don't forget to hit that subscribe button for more videos like these in the future now without any further ado let's start the review first let's start with a comfort and design now if you have ever tried some Sony headphones before you will not find any differences here the ear tips are exactly the same as the older ones and that's not a bad thing that's a very very good thing because they are very contouring to hear they're not heavy they're not harsh on your ear they're not cheap feeling they feel very nice thick enough to give you enough cushion to where you don't feel like they're gonna be irritating these are very comfortable they block out a good amount of sound and I'm very pleased with the ear tip and now for the bad I hate to say it Sony has been on a roll with their headphones and guys they messed up on the design on these headphones they tried to make a one size fit all sports headphone that's not going to move in your ear or move out of your ear while you're working out but this is a problem so you put these in Oh okay so let me explain the fatal design flaw with these headphones and that is that the silicone hooks on these headphones are meant to flex and wobble to create a fit where no matter what size your ear is you know no matter what size no matter what way you move these will always be fitting at least that's what the idea was but since you have this big piece on the back and it's hard they didn't put any cushion on it and then put any kind of rubberized feel it's a hard plastic something like you would feel on a toy now they have this back here now it's gonna when you move around the silicone hook is gonna flex right and it's going to move with you that part is okay but this back part is going to keep hitting the back of your head and the back of your ear going back and forth and that during my workouts was the most annoying thing ever it was annoying now after a while like I used to it because I had to and I forgot about it cuz I was so into my workout but it was still a problem and not only business cost flex here but it also causes flex with the earbud now that year but I didn't feel like come out or move but the next day when I woke up my ears were so irritated I was literally waking up rubbing my ears because they were so irritated from the earbud being in my ear and this part flexing it's not a good design period maybe if they made this part back here where the receiver and the USB and the controls are they made it some kind of soft rubber material it would have been a lot better or use the silicone here that they used up here and at least cover it that would have made these more comfortable but I feel like they need a design change on these for sure now let's move on to the buttons the buttons I feel were too small they put them on here they have these big pieces on the end of the silicon hooks work right why not put bigger button so that when you're feeling around and you're like oh crap I need to change the song you can find it I had to fill around and feel it as impressive not only that it just it feels very weird it's a very weird button I don't know how to explain it they're too small they should have been bigger now they have a press play forward and back and the forward and back double as a volume up and down one thing I did like about these headphones is the little slider in the back to slide these up and down your neck it feels really nice and I like this design it's it stays in place and it keeps your headphones nice and tidy on the back of your neck it's a simple fix I really like this now the effect I was trying to give with the water and the penny effect was that when you drop the bass in a song into the water the water ripples you get that initial bass and then you get a ripple of sound afterwards that resonance and that is what you get with these headphones know that going into these headphones that they're going to be over-exaggerated on the base and it's almost artificial but it's made to be that way to be fun for the listener so if you're extreme bass head these are going to be for you they come they hit and then it gives you kind of like a rippling effect it stays that bass stays the vocals are great the highs suffer somewhat because of this and the bass because that ripple kind of takes over any other instruments and sounds that may be coming on the high and but the vocal stay very clear to buy these knowing that they're going to have that extra bass keep in mind that these are not going to be the most accurate headphones so these are going to go great with bass jazz whenever they hit a guitar that guitar strum that bass drum it just really resonates and it stays the call quality was very very bad now the mic because it doesn't have a remote anywhere along the cord now the mic is on the back of the earpiece so think about it if you're going to be projecting this way and the mic is going to be back here what's going to happen it's not going to really pick up anything that's going forward it's going to pick up everything behind you so it's going to sound very covered it's going to sound covered by your ear and if you have a hat on it's going to be blocked even more check out the top really really loud with these headphones these are not going to be the best for calls so if that is something that is very important to you these are definitely a skip the battery life is decent it's rated at 7 hours and 7 hours is about what you get now today a lot of companies are pushing 8 you know even Apple and beads are pushing it 12 so I feel like Sony with the next generation of these headphones can work on the battery life and getting it up to that at least eight hours standard that's kind of been around for a little bit the connectivity was also great so these have high quality Bluetooth LD AC which helps transmit those high quality songs from your phone to your ear phones without any quality loss so I have I know I get a lot of questions about oh and Roe vs. iPhone these work great with both I have a Galaxy s5 the user work and I have iPhone 7 plus that I use for personal so these work great with both they sound the same on both you guys will not be disappointed either way so what do I think about these headphones I'd say guys skip over them get the j-bird x3 or the bow sound sport wireless headphones they get much better quality for price and you get the remote which I feel like it's necessary but I am very thankful for these headphones because they showed me that sports headphones a wireless earbuds in general they need a remote on the cord just for call quality for just ease of use with the going back and forth or volume or pressing play or accepting calls it's just a lot easier to have it right there it's not going to be in your way it's not going to be in your way and you're going to be able to get better call quality overall so thank you guys for watching I hope you guys have enjoyed this review more to come more soon almost set a
