Really good to see someone who uses it for sports. Sweat resistance is really important since a device designed without moisture in mind will get bricked. But I’ve had good experience with Sony wired extra bass they seem to build durable products at very competitive prices… fingers crossed on this one.

@robertmeister 5 жыл бұрын

Which would you recommend these ones or the jaybird x3?? Some people complaint about interference with the X3 when near of other Bluetooth devices

@OneTechTraveller 5 жыл бұрын

Hey buddy, the the X3 is a great alternative with solid customisable sound and comparable battery life. The design is more lightweight as the Sony has a larger body, but the arc tips keep them very solid with responsive controls. Nfc makes it super easy to connect to any nfc device with thinner cables. Sony ones are cheaper so think they are greater for value with eccentric song quality out of the box. Keep Being Awesome, One Tech Traveller

@OneTechTraveller 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Wan, thanks for the support a d glad you looked it. I haven't used the ziamo airdots pro, maybe I'll get to review them in the future. In my opinion, they are balanced but wont give you the sound depth and certainly bass levels these provide. Battery will last far longer per charge and bear in mind their different wireless setups. Still the airdots pro are solid and completely wireless, light and small vs the xb50bs. Let me know what you decide in the end. Thanks again and keep being awesome Wan! 1TT

Hey man loved your video.... basically for the past few days I've been looking at various wireless earphones but the treble in all of them are too damn high.... how's the treble in this one( Sony MDR xb50bs)? I hope it doesn't disappoint me..do give me a reply. Thank you ♥️

@OneTechTraveller 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Tanmoy cheers for the love and welcome! I find the treble in these ones very good not too high, clear but comfortable. I tend to use the EQ equalizer on my device to tone the sound how I want so if any you user are too high you can dial them down. But ot of the box these are on the bassy side with comfortable treble that isn't over the top. Let me know what you end up with! Keep Being Awesome Tanmoy, One Tech Traveller

Hey Code! Thanks for leaving a comment and no matter how old, I always reply 😊 they are still great and hold up well, the audio is still one of the better ones for fun energetic music while exercising though found better ones for weight since they are weighty when jumping up and down.

Is it fit pretty well in ear for running? Is annoying because of size while running?

@OneTechTraveller 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Felson, the arc fits into my ears well or you can try the 2 other sizes. It holds well even if the earphones themselves are on the larger and heavier side. If you get too sweaty it may slip out or if you're going on high impact that jolts them up and down. If you exercise regularly you may want to check out the NWS623. Currently reviewing it so will get the video up and written article soon 👌 Keep Being Awesome, One Tech Traveller

U can but the mic quality isnt great for that because its not in front of your mouth. These type of earbuds or earphones wont give good quality for recording as they pickup a lot of background noise. For quality a mic you can put close to your mouth works best. Hope that helps! Keep being aweslme buri, 1TT

Hey there, the XB400 is the latest model out with better rated battery life and should be comparable sound quality to the XB50. You'll probably find the hardware more comfortable to wear with better quality microphones by design so I'd say the XB400 👌

@sajibrahman9987 5 жыл бұрын

the bass is not awesome unless tune it with a bass booster. My JBL endurance run in-ear wired headphone bass is far better then this. Maybe because its wireless but Sony should have improved the bass quality as its not what i expected from a decent brand.

@OneTechTraveller 5 жыл бұрын

Interesting. JBL are also on the bass side but these Sony ones are very good, even more when you tune them. Depends on your preference but these are beyond your average earphones and holds up to the extra bass series. But if the JBL endurance suits you that's great 👌 Keep Being Awesome, One Tech Traveller

@sajibrahman9987 5 жыл бұрын

As for Bluetooth wireless sports I think Jabra and jaybird are better if someone gets one during sales but as for me I think bluedio over ear headset beyond amazing and its really hard to believe that you can get one less than $90 AUD. I recommend everyone try bluedio, the best budget wireless headphones out yet. Try one if you don't believe. But unfortunately I was unable to get one because I got this Sony as gift. Why not Bluedio 😭
