Review: Amazing sound and the battery lasts forever! - The
sound quality is very good....everything is crisp and the bass is
surprisingly punchy for the price. They are incredibly
lightweight, making them comfortable to wear for hours. With a
massive 50-hour battery life and the ability to connect to two
devices at once, these are the perfect daily headphones.
Review: Are they worth the price in 2024 - Detailed review - So
if you're considering to buy this pair of headphones or have
already brought it and need a little tweak to the sound to up the
excitement, give this review a read. I know it's somewhat lengthy
:( but if you've already bought this pair, skip to the last part,
that is, bonus. Sound quality:- Pretty good. As you might know,
Sony is Sony when it comes to sound. The audio is clear and has
that calm, balanced profile that I prefer to the bass oriented
profiles of BoAt and JBL. If you are a basshead, I don't think
these headphones will be your go to. But if you've been using
bass heavy headphones, you will feel and instant change in audio
quality and the overall beauty of music once you switch to a Sony
device. Keep in mind that I'm not a professional audiophile or
something. I love listening to quality music and watching movies
and these headphones are perfect. I use Apple music and the sound
is bliss, idk about Spotify though but I think it will fare
equally well. I like bass and these headphones do provide bass,
just that they are not overkill and distort the entire sound
looking for it. These feel more premium in the sound department.
However some people might feel a lack of excitement in their
sound out of the box. Worry not, I've added an EQ tweak to fix
your problem at the end of this review. Specs:- 30mm drivers. So
not as loud as the 40mm ones BoAt and JBL offer in this price
range. But I've felt (personally) the audio quality to be better.
Bluetooth 5.2 which is solid. Multipoint connection makes sure
that this will not be outdated soon. They've been released in
2023 and will remain in contention for atleast a couple of years.
Multipoint has to be turned on in headphones app and I use it to
connect the headphones to my Macbook to watch movies and to my
android phone, which might be on charging or in another room, to
attend calls. The switching is seamless and works well. They
don't have touch controls though, so it will take a couple of
tries to learn to get the buttons right, especially in a dark
room. They have DSEE which is basically a feature to enhance low
quality/ compressed audios downloaded from internet. It has to be
turned on in the app and is not needed for Spotify or Apple music
as they are already best quality music and DSEE takes up
additional battery charge. Battery is solid. They were 70% out of
the box and after 20 hr playback still had 50% left. So I guess
they'll last for atleast 50 hrs like they claim on the box. I
don't like charging my devices all the time and I use them for
max 5 hrs a day for which they will last close to 2 weeks which
is good. No ANC though, it's not a problem for me but if it is
for you, don't buy. Mic is good, I've attended calls in the midst
of traffic and they were pretty fine. Comfort:- I've tried many
midrange headphones and these are some of the best in terms of
comfort too. Soft earcups that sit compact on my ear. However if
they are not positioned properly, they might exert pressure. But
on proper positioning, they will give 2 to 2.5 hours playback
without any discomfort. After that you will have to take a break.
I don't have big ears btw. They are lightweight and have an
adjustable headband with cushion. So as far as on ear headphones
are concerned, these are comfortable. Build:- Plastic but feels
durable. Not creaking. The earcups are the types which forms
wrinkles, they look durable but I don't know if they will pinch
unless I use it for atleast 6 months. Anyway these have
replacement earcups available online and in Sony service centers.
I have one near my house. I don't think they are sweat resistant
so don't use it for workouts. For jogging they will stay in place
once positioned compactly, but for running they will slip off
ear. Drawbacks:- Lack of aux cable. Once you are out of charge,
that's that. It says they support fast charging on box, but I
haven't tried that so idk. Normally takes 2 hours atleast to
charge from 20 to 100. Another drawback is portability. They are
not foldable and even though the plastic feels durable, I'd
suggest you don't bump them much. While travelling either buy a
case or carry them around in the box they come with (don't worry
about looking cheap, the box doesn't have anything like specs or
other bs written on it. Only thing written is Sony. It's inside
the white cover that mentions specs). Conclusion:- They offer
value for money if you ask me. The sound is premium for a budget
segment and not too bass oriented. The headphone app means it
will get firmware updates and has some listening modes that
actually work, it is not a gimmick. They look and feel premium
too. And unlike Anker or ATH, they have service centers all over
so if any issue pops up, that's an added boost too. The don't
have an in box warranty card but worry not, the moment you
connect your device to the headphones app they are registered.
Keep the desertcart invoice with you, in the box or download it
in pdf form from your orders section. Bonus:- If the headphones
lack excitement to you out of the box, the headphones app offer
some preset EQ. But I will share this tweak I found from reddit.
They worked for me so if you don't know how to configure the EQ
on your own, try this; Select manual on EQ in Sony headphones
app. Put 400 to 2. Put 1k to 4. Put 2.5k to 7. Put 6.3k to 7. Put
16k to 5. Put clear bass to 2. Try out this tweak and see if it
works for you. This works on some higher end Sony models too.
Enjoy your headphones!!!
