sound excellent
are comfortable to wear and are sweatproof and waterproof
sound good with a clear and defined treble

They sound great and are comfortable to wear
sound quality is good and they're comfortable to wear for a long time
the sound quality is great
comfort and good audio
The fit is good and the earphones provide a solid 8 hours of actual battery life
mids are emphasized as well with vocals coming through clear

a nice clip that makes wrapping it up after usage quite easy
The button response is also near-instantaneous and solid
quality of the sound reproduction which is so immersive and balanced
headphones with lots of functions and great sound
decently comfortable to wear for long listening sessions
better sound quality
more comfortable and stable fit
Sonys are bit more comfortable than the JBL
comfortable earbud fit and a decent control scheme
Sony WI-SP500 is very good

There is no magnetic attachment of earpieces on these
plastic neckband design may not be a hit with everyone
noise it detects
Not all wireless headphones have an auxiliary connector
no way of using them when the battery is dead
heavy booming bass quality
The design can look a little weird out of the box
this is not a headphone for the bass head
the WI SP500 is pretty awkward to look at
Sony is no new name to audio products
it could be quite inconvenient to a lot of users
lack of proper isolation makes it impossible to hear the opposite end in crowded public situations
Too much on one side and they tend to fall off
does not block off external noises entirely
clearly NOT designed for people with small or average ears
the cable feels a little cheaper than the rest of the design
leakage will be quite thin sounding
they are not the best headphones for sports
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
Inconsistent and bass-light sound
