Review on Sony WI-XB400 Wireless In-Ear Extra Bass Headset/Headphones with Mic: Blue (WIXB400/L) – Experience Enhanced Phone Calls and Music Quality! by Keith Aluguvelli

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very good, just a little lacking in design.

Pros: Good headphones. A very good quality. The look and feel is really nice. Nice and comfortable fit (foam tips can help keep them in place better). The battery life is also very good. Cons: The magnets that hold the earbuds together are so weak they barely work. Seriously weak. You will not be automatically reconnected when you hang up. You have to consciously define them in order to put them together. And even then, they shut down so quickly with even the slightest movement or pressure. It's also annoying that the material on the back of the cord (the part that goes around the neck) is too soft and thin. Because it's so soft, the earbuds don't stay in place. I often find myself walking with one side of the umbilical cord almost completely on the other side of my neck. Headphones in your ears or not. If there aren't any, one side will hang (again because the magnets suck and the buds aren't usually connected) so long while the other side is so short. Almost like a really jagged drawstring on a hoodie where one side is very long and the other is barely visible. One day they really fell off because one side got too heavy and couldn't hold the short one anymore. And even when they're in my ears, one side can basically go the other way, causing the other listener to twitch, sometimes pulling out or loosening. If they reinforced the material on the back it would make the neck setup much more stable and less prone to imbalances. Pretty annoying.

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
