Sound Quality -
This is the extra bass line of Sony headphones so naturally they are going cater more towards bass heavy genres. However, the sound is still pretty balanced for the average listener. There is no extra bass button like on the bigger brother xb950, but that was kind of overkill anyway. These do a good job of bringing out bass in the songs that have it and does not compromise the other tones as much.
Battery Life -
Amazing. Sony claims to get 30 hours with this set and from my experience that is pretty accurate at low to moderate volume. i have only had to charge them a few times with periodic use. The power light will flash red periodically when juice is low, but more conveniently you can tap the power button for pleasant voice prompt about battery status. "Battery Level Medium" etc. its simple but effective.
Technology -
All the controls are on the right ear cup. It has power button with light blue power light (does flash periodically but is small and unobtrusive), volume rocker with raised edge on the up side for easy touch feel, track change and pause slider, micro-USB charge port. NFC on left ear cup. It has most of the functionality you would expect from a bluetooth headphone.
Comfort -
These are on ear type headphones. Head band is metal but has a nice padding under it so it wont put too much pressure on the top of your head. When i first wore these headphones, they were not that comfortable. The ear pads seemed to press against my ears too much after longer periods of listening. however after a while this broke in a bit and now they feel great. The pads definitely look like they are thinner and might not be comfortable but when you feel them they are very soft and the light weight helps with comfort as well.
Build Quality -
Headband is metal and seems sturdy will not snap easily without deliberate bending. Ear cups do not fold but swivel 90 degrees to roll flat. The hinges seem durable and i dont think this should be much of a problem provided you take care of them.
Bluetooth
The range is decent and id call it about average. Pairing was quick and i never had any issues locating the unit with any of my devices. Once paired the bluetooth connects almost immediately upon subsequent uses.
Accessories -
Not much to say here. You get a micro USB cable and that is about it. Would be nice to see a hard case or something to carry it with. The unit does not have any wired 3.5mm jack as these are bluetooth only.Personally it doesnt bother me because i have other headphones i use if i want wired experience or know i might be in a situation where bluetooth is not available. with 30 hours of life you should get through most situations before having to charge.
Overall -
These are really solid headphones. For less than $100 and having a smaller form factor (not huge heavy cans like some other styles), these are quality BT only headphones. Once they form to your head ears, they are comfortable and cups swivel flat for easy storage in a bag. Id recommend a case though if you plan to travel with these a lot in a backpack. Sound is bass heavy but not unrealistic or gimmicky. If you are debating between the larger and heavier xb950, i think these are a little more practical. They are smaller, lighter, look much less bulky on the head, and while they are on ear as opposed to around ear like the 950s, these are still pretty comfortable. All in all its tough to beat this headphone for the price and performance.
Pairing: I paired these with my Moto X Pure (2015) Android phone via NFC, and it was exactly as seamless and quick as you could hope for; it was almost anticlimactic because I just put the phone up to my ear and 1.5 seconds later it said "phone paired". I also paired with my HP Envy Windows 10 Laptop, and it worked exactly as it should have.
Battery: I have only had it for a short while, but right now it's holding up quite well; I didn't charge at all, just straight out of the box and I've logged probably 15+ hours of listening.
Range: Pretty standard Bluetooth range - I can walk around the office and 25 feet away I'm still connected.
Sound: I'm totally happy with all aspects of the sound on these things. I understand that these aren't $500+ headphones, but they sure sound great. These are on-ear headphones, but there isn't a whole lot of sound leaking in or out. I like the bass reproduction, and it totally doesn't wipe out/overpower the other sound ranges. It's quite crisp, and the volume is sufficient for any environment.
Build Quality: I have no complaints here. They feel very lightweight, and hopefully that doesn't mean they don't break down the road but so far so good. I bought a cheap case for when I throw these in my work laptop case just to be prudent, of course. They don't feel like they're going to break, and nothing seems loose or in danger of falling off, but again I was surprised at how light they are so hopefully that's not a bad thing.
Comfort: These feel good - I have an average to slightly larger than average sized head, and I can keep these on for at least a couple hours without chafing. You might want to take them off after several hours, but I don't know any headphones that you don't have to take off at least some of the time. I can feel a slight amount of quasi-suction on my ears, but nothing close to uncomfortable. They are, as I mentioned, lightweight, so there shouldn't be any problems with neck strain.
Price: For about $75 you can't do much better. That's a bargain bin price, practically. For a name brand product you can trust, I'm very happy with the price.
TL;DR - Definitely look into these if you want cheap, great sounding headphones that you can keep on for a few hours. The battery life is great, and there aren't any downsides that I've run across.
Top reviews from other countries
It fits well on the head without pressing much, but the downside is, you cannot bend down your head as it slips off. It is a tradeoff that you can't avoid if you want a comforting pressure on your ear. I do not recommend using in the gym or for jogging as it will definitely fall off.
Noise cancellation is challenging with headphones. So this is no exception. Passive noise cancellation might cut of 50% volume of outside sounds. But you can't expect much. So either make your surroundings less noisy or increase the volume (which is not good for ears). I understand that the models with active noise cancellation also struggle in reducing outside noise and also expensive.
I find it this is value for money for the features and sound quality it offers. Forgot to mention, this is an elegant and classy looking headphone for sure!
