User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Sony Bluetooth headset – Excellent Sound
They sound great, but the ppower level is low. in noisy environments you cannot completely hear them.
5 Stars Wow!
These headphones are great. Not only can I have them connected to my computer’s bluetooth to listen to music and keep game sounds to myself, but I can connect it to my mobile phone too. The quality of the headphones is great (wonderful sound) and the microphone is sufficient for calls in environments without a lot of background noise.
5 Stars Sweetness
I got these headphones to play guitar hero without scaring my neighors, but ended up using them with my whole entertainment center. I hooked it up to my Blackberry, and my Iphone. Great sound, deep bass. If you like hip-hop, or electronica you will love these. I also got the Sony HWSBTA2W – Bluetooth wireless audio transmitter to connect it throught my stero and can watch movies in my bed, play my 360, or just listen to music and fold clothes. Great buy, couldn’t be happier. Also great battery life. I charged it for an hour it didn’t need to be recharged for another 10 days.
4 Stars Works as earmuffs too.
Audio, comfort, and look I give it five stars.
I’m an avid movie/TV watcher. There IS an audio delay. Watching shows like “The Office” where there is heavy dialogue it can be annoying.
I would estimate the delay is about a 1/4 of second. You won’t notice it when watching documentaries or History channel shows that cut away. Any other sound effect, the delay doesn’t seem to noticeable.
I use this in connection with my 2g ipod nano , Dell XPS 1530 laptop (with Sony Transmitter), and Palm Centro.
At home where my room is quiet, the phone function is nice. I can be listening to music on my dell, but answer the phone via my centro if a call were to come thru.
I work late at night, this headset is great for keeping my ears warm. And I don’t need to take em off if I walk to the kitchen.
I also use them when going to the laundromat. So nice to be wireless.
4 Stars high quality design, but some static
I use the product as headphones only for use with my laptop. The quality of the sound at times is perfect, but occasionally, the music program or movie needs to be paused and then continued in order to remove distortion that builds up.
The battery life is unbelievable. I use them at least 3 hours a day and have only charged them fully maybe 3x’s. A USB charging cable would have been nice, but the battery life is so long, I am surprising myself not to mind the dedicated charger.
As for comfort, they are pretty good. After a few hours of wear, the bottoms of my earlobes do feel a pinch, but it is not significant.
