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 Dustin Keller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Above average but could use a few design changes

- Very easy to set up - Very good sound quality - Doesn't look flashy in use - Two knots on the cable contain controls (left side) and battery (right). Side). The battery side is a bit heavier, so the cable tends to slide to the right over time, which is a bit annoying. Sony had to add about a gram of weight to the control side to compensate. The way it sits on your neck, the controls are on the head and the volume + button is on the bottom. IMO, that's another design flaw, but one you can get used to pretty quickly. It's just carefree. Of course, if you have a really, really long neck, it's going to hang right. Maybe all product testers really had very long necks. The battery in mine seems to be harnessing the infinite energy of the universe as I used it for about 20 hours total on a single charge, but it still reports 100% charge. Or, on a more realistic timeline, I'm about to charge it and it just reports the charge incorrectly. I don't know if this will ever work properly, but I suspect it won't, which is a bit of a shame. (It reports 100% charge both on the phone's display and in the beep when you turn it on) - If you go out of Bluetooth range and the device loses connection, it won't automatically reconnect when you're back in range . You must turn your device off and on again to reconnect. I'm not sure if this is really a problem or not, there may be reasons I don't understand. Although it would be nice if it was automatic. Even after reconnecting, I have to manually restart any streaming media I was previously listening to on my phone. Overall I am happy with this purchase given the price.
