Ratings and reviews

Great Headphones great App, however lately it will turn 'speak to chat' back on randomly which is extremely annoying. I have to disable the option 3 to 5 times a week although I never turn it on. When it happens in conference calls it's especially hard to ignore or fix. Without this bug it would be perfect.

I can either have good sound or prioritised stable connection. Equalizer is not available anymore in one of the settings. It's incredibly frustrating. Connecting takes ages cause of several reconnecting and pairing tries. I never had these issues with the older app version amd/or my older Mi phone. And why can't I switch through the same noise cancelling type options with the headphone button like in the app? I always need to pull out my phone to activate wind noise cancellation.

The Headphones are great, best ones I've ever owned. The app itself is great too, very customizable, easy to use.... But of course, like always with Sony products, everything gets ruined by a single but fatal bug. Every 15 seconds to one minute, a huge notification appears, that shows me the battery charge on the headphones. Great hardware, ruined by software... Thank you Sony.
