I like the product, the quality didn't let me down.

Time of use: April-August. The headphones were purchased in the first week of mass self-isolation as a matter of urgency for an interview, as their predecessors WI-C310 were once again lost. I chose on the principle of bluetooth, price category, battery life and with a rim, for a spontaneous interview in Wats Up. From the pros: 1) they are very comfortable to run with. The earplugs do not fall out of the ears, the rim does not interfere. 2) it is very convenient to wear this configuration when

Pros
  • - very comfortable to wear, very! This is their main plus, the nondescript-looking design turned out to be the top one in terms of ease of wearing and control. - do not fall off and do not interfere with running and other training - battery life - soundproofing
Cons
  • - completely flat sound - uninformative charge indicator - microphone

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I bought it because of the brand, I realized for a long time that Sony makes a good combination of price / quality, but now the line is not entirely successful, and take headphones for 8-12t. R. the toad crushed, now I will suffer.

Pros
  • Good afternoon, nuuuuuu the third week is the most for a mature review. The battery lasts for a very long time, unlike the Sony SBH80, two days from work to work for 4 hours and somewhere in the middle of charging it shows The buttons are very well palpable, I got used to the controls quickly I love the vibro signal, in the subway and under the clothes the phone is not always audible It catches a signal very worthy, even higher than that of the Sony SBH80, the quality does not lag even if it is in your pocket or backpack, it lags near the subway and train stations, but there are jammers and a lot of radiation from antennas That's probably all!
Cons
  • SOUND! Where is the sound that was in the Sony SBH80 or my ancient wire sunhazers, What kind of garbage is this ?, and it's not about the bluetooth, just the membrane itself and the earpiece itself are shit Headphone hard and noisy! This means that when you touch the wire or it with your hand, on clothes or a hood or something, everything is transmitted to the ear, terribly infuriates, this happens for many reasons, but I think that they just scored on quality. Plastic is cheap, it feels like Chinese garbage and not Sony They already hurt! And there is a reason for this, a sharp cantin on the earpiece, look at the photo, the earpiece really sits deep in the ear and this cantle rubs against the skin, at first you don’t feel it, but you wear the headphones for 2 or 4 hours every day and everything will feel great The wire is stiff and presses on the ear due to, again, the deep fit of the earpiece Sound isolation! I don’t know how, but it’s worse than that of the Sony SBH80, I even put earplugs from the old one, but in reality it’s lower, it took a long time to rearrange and measure like a fool and it’s really lower, but not much.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

! According to the last measurement, almost 25 hours passed from 100% charge to 0%. Charge ~ 4 hours. With active use, it is enough for a week. These headphones are a good option if you are tired of clinging to wired everything and constantly carrying a smartphone with you, but you don’t want to accidentally lose one of the headphones and put them on charge every day or two. They are comfortable to play sports, dance and just lie down. You put on the largest ear pads that your ears allow, and

Pros
  • - Battery (! from 20 h !) - Operating range (I walk around the whole apartment and cottage, while the phone is somewhere) - NFC (probably should extend the life of the power button) - Sound (the most for electronic music, if you tweak the settings, then rock will go well) - Soundproofing (people nearby often don't realize that I'm listening to music) - Speaks and shows the percentage of charge (by quickly pressing the shutdown button and in% on the smartphone screen) - Weightless (do not rub, you forget that they are on you) - Vibrating alert - Look cool)
Cons
  • - They are afraid of water (it started to rain - worries began, where to put them) - Thin wires (but I believe in the Sony guarantee) - No case (difficult to store and carry with you)

Bad! I am not satisfied with the quality of the product.

Relations with Sony are normal. But! Whose collection? China? China has been doing great lately . Or I don’t know which one !

Pros
  • Liked the sound! Everything is balanced!
Cons
  • I bought these headphones a month ago, they are satisfied with almost everything, the sound is balanced, they look like they are of high quality and that's it ! My attitude towards them changed dramatically after I began to remove the left earpiece from my ear, I felt an uncharacteristic creak in the case, to my surprise the earpiece itself fell apart or one part peeled off from the second, and the sound played in them due to the fact that I carefully removed them and the contacts were preserved unharmed . (I was afraid to sneeze) so that they would not scatter at all . That's how I was unlucky with SONY !

The product is not good, I will not buy any more.

By the way, the nfs sensor on these previous headsets worked so-so, but on this one with a non-working right speaker it worked with a bang. It's a shame. I'm switching to Sennheiser.

Pros
  • I liked everything about it for the time being, real 20 hours of playback, although the manufacturer writes that it can only be charged from the USB port, but Sony's proprietary charging from my phone did not disable the battery. Fast connection and although the range is up to 10 meters, I went away from the phone in it by more than 30. If there are no obstacles on the way, then it takes the signal calmly and further.
Cons
  • I bought this headset three times in a couple of years, twice after operation for a couple of months it was the right earpiece that failed, I did not replace it under warranty, because the presentation for the period of operation came to non-marketable. Today I bought this device for the third time. I unpacked it at home, connected it and found that, again, the right earpiece did not work, already on a new headset that had not been used yet. I’ll drink tea, otherwise my stomach got sick on a nervous basis and I’ll go back to the store to hand over a new headset under warranty. Now at least the appearance of the commodity remained. Very disappointed in my favorite brand. (

Not a bad product, nothing extraordinary.

There are no complaints about the sound of the headphones, I took it for chatting while driving, especially for long distances when the baby is sleeping, it is very convenient to listen to music. Again, I compared it with a similar Samsung model, they have a connection to 2 phones, I have just 2, it’s very convenient when you can receive from one headphone from a work phone and from a personal phone. Unfortunately, Sony doesn't. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase for 4 stars out of 5,

Pros
  • Sound, price, looks. Opening hours are excellent. Vibro on an incoming call, don't miss it even if the plugs themselves hang down!)
Cons
  • Can't connect 2 phones It was yours, but the price changed everything. I compared it with a similar Samsung model, it constantly rolls over on its side, and when the neck is turned, there is extraneous noise in the microphone. There are no magnets. The earplugs themselves look ski, and in the ears, if it is badly inserted into the ears, the wires stick out)

I cant say that I was completely satisfied with the product.

To be honest, I expected more from them. Before that, there were JBL BT110s, which are cheaper, but the sound is about the same. The wire is made of very cheap plastic, which hardens in the cold and becomes brittle. For SONY, to use such a wire as in cheap Chinese headphones from Ali Express is a complete failure for such a respected company. I would also like to note the absence of separate rewind buttons. This is realized by long pressing the volume buttons. Also, the rewind button does not…

Pros
  • Appearance, the presence of vibration when called, the battery lasts a long time
Cons
  • The sound is so-so. Cheap wire. There are no separate rewind buttons.

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

In general, very strange impressions, at first the sound didn’t scare me a lot, the basses weren’t any, but after a while it was just a shock for me how they opened up, I even have wired jbl became spare, and I don’t compare the sound anymore, I carry it with me in case (if Sonya suddenly sits down, but they last for a long time, but sometimes you forget that you need to charge at least once every five days), maybe the smartphone itself makes the sound richer, but nevertheless, my other…

Pros
  • Sound!
Cons
  • Maybe they look boring, they didn’t declare protection from water, although the assembly, like the norms, got wet already once, it seems without consequences, but still)

Normal product, but wanted more for the money.

I bought these headphones in August for cycling (they sit well, do not twist and one ear can be pulled up in the mount so that it does not hang out) because I'm tired of wired ones pulling T-shirts. When I bought these headphones, I had an IPhone 6 and they worked disgustingly with it, the sound was disgusting, no one heard me, the music was constantly interrupted if I went outside. But I decided to leave them, then I checked with Samsung (I don’t remember the model), I went to work and to the…

Pros
  • They sit well and do not hang out, the sound is good but there are a couple of nuances. As a headset also work well.
Cons
  • As I understand these headphones some kind of joke with Bluetooth, I will write below

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Complete disappointment, the product is not at all what I imagined.

I bought headphones, in full confidence that Sony is responsible for their products; as it turned out, this is far from the company that attracted with its quality. For the first time, reviews from aliexpress turned out to be unreliable, so I decided to warn potential buyers myself - do not take these headphones, they are very bad.

Pros
  • Good fit in the ears
Cons
  • Incorrect work I don’t understand what this is connected with, but the sound “chews”, it’s impossible to watch videos with them: they constantly lag behind in sound; most likely, the cheapest variation of Bluetooth is used, which is why the declared operating time is longer than that of competitors - they stupidly sold out

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect product for any user!

Sound. I'm not an audiophile, but often I have to torture the equalizer to remove unnecessary frequencies (the source is a smartphone), too much highs and almost no bass, but it's probably stupid to expect high-quality sound for such a price. However, I bought it for podcasts and other talking shops, so everything is in order.

Pros
  • Lightweight, comfortable, hanging around the neck - do not fall. Bluetooth - tired of getting tangled in wires. Sony is still quality, even if the product is not premium. Divine price. Very important - a large battery, it has never completely discharged. There is NFC - also not yet tested.
Cons
  • Quite flimsy, thin, you can’t throw it in a bag, you need a cover.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was a reasonable purchase, will order more.

a strange moment is the microphone, it is not bad, the interlocutors do not complain, but you have to pull it out from under the collar or check that the holes are not closed by the neck, it would be better to make it at the end of the rim and point it forward, and not towards the neck

Pros
  • + fast connection via NFC + operating time in my opinion is less than stated, but it works really long + decent sound for the money, the main thing is to choose elastic bands for the ears + charge indication in the notification bar + Buttons are easy to distinguish by touch + cool idea of ​​elastic bands fixing cables + blue tooth breaks through concrete walls and you can listen while walking around the apartment, and even go to the toilet with office drywall
Cons
  • -cables seem flimsy, you are constantly afraid of damaging them, especially since previous ears already had a sad experience - inconvenient design, see photo: the cable turns out to be in the right direction, but passing through the control hole it rests on the neck, and if you wear it under the shirt collar, the collar will constantly puff up, I don’t understand how this moment was tested - low battery warning comes too late, you will never have time to recharge, it would be better to report at least 20-30%, you have to periodically press the power button to hear medium or already low level, or look at the screen

A good product, more pros than cons.

Satisfied with the battery, sound. On the street, you have to listen to music while holding the phone in your hands. The problem with the fact that the interlocutors did not hear was solved by shoveling a bunch of everything - turning on the mono mode in special features, renaming the headphones because there is a "-" sign in the name, which can also affect by turning on network call support in the call settings and something else with the word "teletype" . As a result, on WhatsApp and during…

Pros
  • Battery lasts a long time If you work while sitting without moving, then the sound in the headphones is good
Cons
  • Microphone - android problem to connect an external microphone. On the street, as soon as I move my phone or I want to put it in my pocket, the sound cuts off. I have to keep the phone closer to my head all the time when talking or listening to music on the street.

Disgusting, would not recommend to anyone!

I want to buy third ones, I like autonomy, I don’t need to charge, there is no time, I always sleep in them too). I watch movies through them and fall asleep. The rim is very comfortable, I hardly feel them on my neck.

Pros
  • A good battery lasts for 3-4 days without disconnecting them from the phone, I hardly listen to music through them, I watch videos, play, chat on the phone, use the navigator for 8 hours a day through them.
Cons
  • Terrible wires! Out of the box, the first couple of months are still normal, soft, but then they begin to tan and burst. First, at the ear, and then at the body, because of this, they have to be thrown away. Killed two in two years.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

An excellent model that allows you to listen to music without wires all over your body, and when it is not possible to safely keep the phone in your pocket.

Pros
  • It is light, comfortable, it is not felt on the neck, but at the same time it does not strive to suddenly slip off it, like headsets consisting of one wire, without a collar. I chose for a long time between a waterproof model and this one, and eventually settled on this one, because of the declared 20 hours in listening mode, and so far I don’t regret it, with active use during the day, the charge does not melt before our eyes, and for a week of use so far Only a little more than half was discharged. The volume and noise isolation are at an excellent level, at maximum volume it is quite possible to go deaf in them: D, and at a volume slightly above average, you can no longer hear the working perforator, which is literally 5 steps away. The sound quality is at a fairly good level, at least for my taste they do not squeak and sound worse than Sony's wired headsets. I also want to note the vibration during an incoming call, it is convenient if the headset is connected to the phone, but not in use at the moment, it is impossible to miss a call.
Cons
  • Of all, I can find fault with different colors, although the model is believed to have black and white variations, but in fact white is smoky gray, and black is dark gray.

My money is wasted, the product is terrible.

I would put up with the low sound quality of the headphones, after all, it’s stupid to expect something more from the plugs. I just wanted to listen to music in the background on the road or in training, or watch YouTube. But constantly there are small creaks and crackles when playing music. In some videos on YouTube, the crackling is constant. Connected to both iphone and ipad. On the iPad, the situation is better, but it still crackles. Reset settings - does not help. It's impossible to…

Pros
  • Sit comfortably Long work Nice design This is Sony
Cons
  • Impossible clicks and wheezes

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

Got them four days ago. And do not believe it, just now I put it on charge, finally the battery has run out. In total, the charge was enough for all 20 hours, but no more (after all, I used them for more than 5-6 hours a day), perhaps due to the fact that I listened at 30-60% volume. In terms of ergonomics: whoever says anything, but all the buttons are in their place, it’s easy to operate intuitively, the bow is comfortable, the microphone is good, at least they hear me perfectly when talking.

Pros
  • Clear sound, nice bass, interface ergonomics, build quality, and most importantly, survivability from a single charge!
Cons
  • Not identified

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

Soundproofing is average. The wires are quite thin and it is not clear how they will show themselves over time. I am satisfied with the purchase. But I still want the Sony WI-1000X.

Pros
  • + comfortable to wear headphones + good build quality + almost 8-10 hours of music + fairly loud + buttons are easy to feel with your finger + microphone works well
Cons
  • - The sound quality is a little disappointing. - the bluetooth receiver itself is located in a block with buttons on the left side and the signal sometimes disappears if you put your smartphone on the right side of the table while listening to music. - the sound of rubbing wires is transmitted to the earpiece

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A worthless product, definitely not worth your money!

The sound is not bad, but all these rave reviews about super-sound are utter crap, either purchased or users have never used headphones other than 300.

Pros
  • I bought it in a store, it broke on the second day after purchase. Successfully endured the morning cardil trenka, but on the same day there was a crack, first in the right ear, then in the left, by the evening they just turned off and that's it. A day later, when returning to the store, they turned on, but the rim itself periodically vibrated.
Cons
  • I do not recommend to buy.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

- For a very long time I chose and considered from different, but similar to these, tried on, listened to the sound, etc. After listening and testing a dozen, the choice was made on the Sony WI-C400. Sound reproduces very well. There are lows and highs and a middle. There is no porridge or cocophony. But for this you need a really high-quality audio file (for the sake of experiment, I tried different ones). Well, it's understandable that the poor quality of sound / music in any ears will cause…

Pros
  • Quite good sound. Lungs. Comfortable once you get used to it. Excellent autonomy.
Cons
  • At the moment there are none. It is possible that thin wires, but I'll see how they show themselves over time.
