Review: Absolutely superb! - It takes a lot to make me feel so pleased with a product that I would take the effort to write a review. This device has done it though. I'm a runner and on training runs music is an absolute must. For a long time I had my rather bulky windows phone in a waist strap with wires up through my shirt...... It worked but it was never great and couldn't get to controls so if a song that wasn't working for you came on you just had to endure it. The benefit of course was that my phone doubled up as a GPS tracker so I could log my runs etc. A month ago I bought a Smartwatch (Garmin forerunner 630) so that I could capture more info from my runs which is great, but I have been missing the music or still needing to take my phone. Buying these was a risk, very few reviews due to their recent release and I was worried about ease of use (after all, the controls are behind your ears), would they slip on my head or fall out easily as many buds do when running and would the sound quality be any good. I am pleased to say it has exceeded expectations in all areas. They fit on my head as if they were designed specifically for me, the quality of sound is amazing and the ambient noise mode that enables you to hear things going on around you is surprisingly crisp and it..... Well, it just works! I haven't used them for swimming so can't comment on the waterproof feature but for everything else, they are brilliant! I can't recommend enough if you're a runner who wants to ditch the smartphone and leave home without as much kit then this is what you want.
Review: Fantastic for swimming - Bought this in 2017, it is still going strong now in 2025. I do not hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking for a headset to go swimming with. I swim regularly, I run with these regularly. They work perfectly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between the new and older models of this product apart from the price?**
A: Well, the older models actually have a decent loud sound, for starters (but mine eventually failed due to permanent water damage). 

Yes these have a different connection cradle, but the older one also connected via just one earpiece like this. Both charge and connect easily. This item is strongly not recommended, however. It's a beautiful design but appallingly quiet. Avoid.

**Q: I have iTunes on a Windows computer. Would it be happy downloading from here or is it better to download their media go system?**
A: I think on windows you can just easily drop your songs to the folder. Much easier.

**Q: Can I play content from Amazon prime on these headphones?**
A: I'm not sure about Amazon prime, but you can play from Audible. You've got to download software for PC called "AudibleSync" and connect your headphones to your laptop, then you can transfer your Audible library files to the device

**Q: Can i upload music from my chromebook? i've had to return a different make because it wouldn't let me use my chromebook. thanks**

### ⭐ Looks nice, but unfortunately not fit for purpose
*by S***Y on 10 March 2018*

If you are thinking about buying this, even at the ‘bargain’ price Amazon keeps offering, don’t. For swimming, it is utterly useless. It takes an age to get a decent seal on the earphones and when you finally managed it (it took me at least 10 attempts) you can’t hear the music! The other reviews on here are right; the volume is completely inadequate. There’s no danger of hearing damage, except from water ingress. This product really is rubbish. It’s almost incomprehensible that a manufacturer like Sony has failed to to match the performance of unbranded Chinese electronics costing a quarter of the price. Save yourself a lot of money and frustration by avoiding the ‘waterproof’ Walkman.
