Sony NWWS623/B Waterproof and Dustproof Walkman with Bluetooth,Black

I've had these a few years now. I swim a few kilometers in a chlorinated pool over 60-90 minutes and they last longer than I do. The sound quality is excellent, better than AirPods or my Bose headphones, but not as good as Klipsch. The volume could be louder with the waterproof eartips on but, like others have said, it is probably a good thing for my sake that it isn't louder. I frequently listen on the highest volume while swimming. The bass absolutely SLAPS underwater. Bluetooth will NOT work reliably while swimming, the smallest amount of water will block the signal. You will need to load music onto it. This is because water is particularly good at absorbing 2.45 GHz (which is why microwaves use it). Outside the water, the bluetooth range is excellent. 4 GB is a bit small in 2021 (when I bought it, also in 2023) but it is plenty to load enough music or podcasts on there for a few weeks of working out without repeating content. Now that I bring it up, podcasts are probably the only thing I wish it were louder for.

It takes a little bit of getting used to the various button functions and locations on the device and choosing the best ear pieces for fit and comfort. The battery life lasts about 12 hours on mine if only using the built in storage. In Bluetooth mode it only lasts about 5 to 6 hours which isn't bad for Bluetooth. I listen to audio books that I download from the local library into the built in mp3 storage while working and so far I love it. I actually own two of these but the other one does not have Bluetooth so I use it at night time to fall asleep listening to audio books as well instead of watching the television. At first my ears where a little sore until I found the right size of ear pieces, Now it is a perfect fit. I definitely recommend these for anyone who enjoys reading but does not have the time.the price seems a little too high but the use that I have gotten out of it is so far well worth it.

Sound is no where near as good as other underwater speakers at less than half the price. Awkward, hard to use, hard to get properly positioned. Due to 5 deaths, I lost track of the time to return otherwise I would have. Holds a charge long enough for a 1 hour of lap swim then begins to go downhill. Extremely disappointed. Did I mention the sound is atrocious?

They work exactly as expected and the sound quality is surprisingly good given the environment (swimming). I purchased these purely for swimming. I thought the bluetooth would be useful for walking to and from the pool but now I've disabled it since while swimming it connects and disconnects when I get closer or further from my phone - quite obnoxious. Do not wear these in open water swims unless you are sure they are safely attached. They will fall off with vigorous activity. I've slowly learned a few things about their attachment/positioning. First I wore a swim-cap to help hold the unit in my ears, but that was a headache - literally. Then after a few times of them falling off in the pool on a flip-turn push-off or a sprint I started putting the swim goggle strap over the headphone strap at the top of my ears. This seems to work very well. I also have noticed that if the earpiece is the optimum size for my ear it almost suction fits into your ear canal, and that also helps keep them on as well. I agree that the form of the ear-piece is not the most comfortable, but they do not hurt for an hour swim. When I first turn them on, using the waterproof/sealed ear pieces, the sound is excellent with surprisingly good bass. However, after a few times of submerging a few feet while doing a flip-turn they become noticeably less full throated. The sound quality is still good, just not excellent. I'm not exactly sure why but I suspect the air pressure inside my ears has something to do with it. I am sure there is no water in either the headphones or in my ear. What I don't like: Playlists? What are those? The method of getting mp3 files onto the device is slightly arcane and not particularly convenient. Over the years I had built up some swim playlists on iTunes, then modernized to using a streaming service on Spotify. Besides the fact that you don't have an mp3 file to load from a Spotify playlist even exporting one from iTunes is a two step process, and you better hope that the file is not in some protected aac format. I have an extensive library of older music in file form, so it's workable but no new music from Spotify are available unless I buy them. Then I just play one set of specific files on the unit through folders. There is some folder navigational control on the device. If you put your playlist files into a single folder then you can navigate to different folders/playlists with a double click on the previous or next button. Your play choices are: Normal play, repeat play, shuffle play, shuffle all. And a pleasant female voice often confirms what mode you've just selected. So besides the tedious playlist transfer I find this water resistant player very nice. So far so good.

I had been searching for a waterproof MP3 player suitable for surfing for awhile but shied away from this Sony model due to some of the negative reviews. However, I have found it the best "earbud type" waterproof player on the market. I bought the player specifically to see whether it would withstand the rigors of surfing and found that the design works well both in terms of stability when worn and sound quality. Today, I surfed 3 to 5 foot surf and the player stayed in place (with one exception due to a wipeout) and the music never really stopped over a 2-hour session. Would not wear it in larger surf, but it is fine in small to moderate surf. Also, I do secure it to my wetsuit with a short tether and, unless you blast it, you can still hear much of the ambient sound, so not that much of a safety risk. Note: The key to stable placement is the adjustment of the flexible band that places tension on earbud wiring.

I love this product!! I have owned many Sony Walkmans in my life time, from the original cassette driven devices to these amazing streamlined water proof head sets! Fantastic features, connects to my Mac computer, drag and drop music. Bluetooth mode for connecting to my iPhone and my Yahama receiver at home, what a bonus this is!! Noise cancelation, many water proof earbuds in various sizes!! Finally this is my second pair, I surf kayak so I should have used the little headset stabilizer rubber band thingy that I never saw in the box last time lol!! I highly recommend using it, this new pair stay glued on now under heavy surf conditions! Very happy to have another pair, they have been very hard to find!! 4GB Capacity as well, endless feedback on this one folks!!

I bought these about a year ago and use them pretty regularly. They hold a decent charge, connect to bluetooth easily, and I can even easily switch between bluetooth and the mp3 music stored on the headset. For swimming i did have to adjust my turn so they don't fall off but it was minor and now I am used to my new way. The bluetooth also doesn't work perfectly in the water, sometimes skipping a little. My issue is trying to get music onto the headsets. One of the selling points was being able to add music directly to the headset. I have a ton of music on my computer that I was excited to add to the headphones. Set-up went well and was really easy. I only added a few songs at first to get a feel for how it would work. I went back and added a few more songs and have been listening to them non-stop. After almost a year of the same music I was ready to add new music and the device will no longer connect to my computer. I've tried multiple USB ports and two different computers. I've tried to troubleshoot and came up with nothing. Now the biggest reason I got these headphones is rendered useless.

Love that they are waterproof and can store music, great sound quality too, however what I didn't know is the claimed battery life is if you are using it as an MP3 player and not listening to streaming music from your phone/mobile devise. If you are aware of that going in then this is an amazing product that can handle the rigors of most ow impact water sports.

Sony WS623 é meu segundo mp3 player Sony à prova d'água que compro. O meu primeiro foi o Sony modelo WS413 que não tem conexão via Bluetooth, que durou quase 10 anos até ir parar no fundo do mar funcionando. Uma pena. Esse modelo 623 ligeiramente menor que o modelo 413 funciona tão bem quanto o que perdi. O melhor que existe se você pretende usar no mar; eu uso praticando stand up paddle. A grande vantagem é ter memoria interna de 4GB suficiente para você carregar suas musicas e não depender de seu celular, até porque dentro d'água Bluetooth não funciona. Apesar de ter Bluetooth prefiro remar sem carregar o celular. Se a Sony fizesse um modelo que flutuasse ficaria perfeito. Recomendo nunca ir pro mar sem amarrar no pescoço.

ジムのプールで水泳しながら使える防水性のイヤホンを探してこの製品にたどり着きました。 実際プールで使ってみたところ、イヤーピースが防水用のため音質はあまりよくないのですが、 泳ぎながら音楽を聴くイヤホンとしては十分満足のいくものでした。 また、カナル式のためイヤーピースが耳栓の役割もありこの点もいいです。 それ以外の目的で使う場合は、この製品である必要性は薄いです。

Excelentes audífonos! El sonido es mejor de lo que esperaba, las modalidades que ofrece son más que las que ofrecen productos similares. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Sony es calidad y con este producto se lleva de calle a los competidores.

Simply perfect
