Sony WI-C100 Wireless Headphones with Customizable Equalizer for Deep Bass & 25 Hrs Battery, DSEE-Upscale, Splash Proof, 360RA, Fast Pair, in-Ear Bluetooth Headset with mic for Phone Calls (White)

Let me start with something no one writes about.UI:Power On. Hold the center button for 2 seconds and the earphones with say in a Japanese/Indian woman's voice, "power On, battery about 70%". She does not sound Chinese like the cheap Chinese headphones. Her voice volume level is not very high either.BT pairing:Turn off the headset, press and hold to center button but keep holding the same button. The headsets voice will say, Bluetooth pairing". Once connected, it will say, "Bluetooth connected". If BT disconnects, the voice says, "Bluetooth disconnected".Next track:Press and hold the + button for 2 seconds and the headset will make a cute "chime" and load the next song in the playlist of any app. I like this feature of the chime because this way I know the headset has accepted the command and loading the next track. However, holding the button for 2 second everytime you want to change songs can get annoying and painful if you want to skip a couple of songs of just skipping endlessly waiting for the right song to play. Buttons aren't very soft but do have a tactile click to ensure you feel the click when pressed.Power off: just like power on, hold the center button for 2 seconds and the headset will turn off.Volume up/down: No audible feedback, just volume increase or decrease.Status LED:Blue: when On and slow blinking when connected to bt. When in pairing mode, the same light blinks quickly in the same blue colour.Orange: while charging. Solid on.Green/off: 90% and above.Physical clues: tiny nub on the left ear plug to denote left side. Only reputed brands have it.Same tiny bump is made in the volume up button on the controller to denote volume +.Coloured Dots on the plastic controller to denotr left and right channel.Ear plugs are colour coded and fit very well in my ears. Most of the ear plugs fall out of my ears while talking. These don't. I use the smallest one.What does Sony offer?A very neat guide on how to insert the ear plugs in your ears the most comfortable way and ensure the best seal for clear audio. I've never known that you can pull you ear up from the top corner and gently place the ear plug into your ear canal. Once placed comfortably, drop the ear and let the ear canal seal in.Audio App. It's basically a music player designed to detect the sony earphones. If you use spotify you can use this app to setup an equaliser. It plays MP3 from your storage too. My phone already has a built in Equalizer. I don't use any eq because the sound stage on these is flat. So all types of audio sounds great.FAQIs it flimsy?No, but feels like you might damage it if you're not careful.Does it really last 25hr?Yes, I've tested it sort of. And never managed to run out of battery.How much did you spend on it?1.6kAudio lag?None. I tested it with Android TV, LG web os, Android phone, ps4 and iPad. No issues of lag or disconnection or audio drop on super quiet moments of the song.Bass?Very decent and controlled.Vocals?Very clearTreble?Sharp and crisp.Loudness?You can listen at full volume without much discomfort. But I'd suggest not to.I compared it with JBL wave tws100. The sound is very similar but a we bit less bass on flat eq.80% Better than boat airdopes.30% better than OnePlus bulletsZ.

Low quality earbudsCalling quality pathetic, it cracks.Music listening experienceVery average. You will have to use Equalizer to suit to your listening habit.The two battery lobes don't stay at neck area. Lock it below collar . And tuck both earpieces in shirt button or pocket.Not very ergonomic. Add some more to your budget and buy something with a proper neck band and confirm calling quality, it's very important.

Audio quality is pretty good, buld quality is good. Don't expect high bass, but audio quality is as expected from a Sony. Negatives: no multi-device connect (got to disconnect from the connected device to connect to another), and battery is average (it either shows as 100%, 70%, or low) - it would show as 70% and then in half hour it would go to low. Overall an ok buy for the price.

Bought this the second time after losing first one.That should tell you already how much I like itIt is a very nice piece of hardware.Excellent build , excellent battery backup , all day wearable.This is so much better than the totally wireless models because mic sits closer to your mouth + ear phones are connected by wire so you don't accidentally lose one ear piece.Also , the battery is powerful to last like 25 hours of listening before needing recharge. For me it translates to recharge once in 2 weeks.In other way , it also means it has enough power to drive those audio output unlike wireless ones.If you want to customize , there is an excellent sony app which allows you to fine tune music quality. Once you fine tune it with sony app you realize how powerful the bass can be on this thing.In short , extremely satisfied . I bought second piece for myself , and one more for my mother.

I am writing this after 1 year of usage, now it strarted having connectivity issues and buttons got too mushy and dosen't works, service centre was unable to help, this is first time this happening with me that a sony product didn't last much. this is the old review - I am an old customer of sony, but I was confused about this product due to the reviews. But it is what actually I want, according to sound it lacks volume but soundstage is good, trebles work perfectly, vocals are clear, bass is soothing and deep. I like the integration of application which tells me my listening hours and set an equalizer according to my preference. I don't know much about DSEE upscaling but it makes a difference, listening to these earphones feels like listening to wired earphones with no lag and weird sound upscaling which other TWS does. Build quality will be a concern for rough users but not for me, it is pretty good for me. The neck part is not stiff which makes it easy to carry. I am a designer, According to a designer's perspective I would it has attention to details like the left and right are separated even with a color difference. Although, I didn't like the long press to change controls system and its not customizable. These earphones are waterproof and have sufficient battery life to support through my busy weeks. Also we can change the language of the instructor of earphones, I chose Japanese because I am a big fan of anime. Also the buds are non magnetic, but it dosen't creates much problem. At last buy these only when you aren't a rough user and wants high volume.

Ótimo fone. Bom som. Controle é bem prático.

I was a big fan of JLabs earbuds and headphones but recently had a bad experience with one of their products. I have been the market for bluetooth earbuds that had an inline mic. I have issues with some bluetooth earbuds not connecting and/or staying connected to my Windows 10 Microsoft Surface Pro. The JLabs Pros that I tried would connect fine but would disconnect after a few minutes. I also had issues with them on my Android phone.I bought these Sony WI-C100s to try. WOW...just wow. I don't know why I ever stopped buying nothing but Sony products. First, they connect to my Surface Pro perfectly and don't disconnect. I don't have any issues at all. The sound quality is amazing. The Sony app gives you a lot of equalizer options to sync to your earbuds. Volume-wise, these things get louder than any pair of earbuds, wired or wireless, that I've ever owned...I'm seriously impressed by the volume. Highs are crisp and clear. Mids are full and not-muddy. Lows are very present but not big and boomy.I also have a lot of problems with earbuds being loose in my ear and falling out despite what size of silicone ear plug that I use. Incredibly these Sony's are comfortable and very secure in my ear. They haven't felt loose or that they're gonna fall out at all. The design doesn't look much different than most earbuds so I don't know how Sony got these to be so secure in my ears.The earbuds have great range on Bluetooth. I can travel my entire house and even step outside without any loss of signal or audio. By far the best range I've ever gotten out of anything connected via Bluetooth.The inline mic on these works great. I do a lot of Discord voice calls and others can't tell that I'm on a pair of bluetooth headphones. The sound is crisp and clear. It will accept a fair amount of background noise but I don't consider that a fault...it just means that they pick up sound very well, even quieter sounds like background noises.The package does not come with a charger or charging cable. That's fine in my book...it's less electronics waste. Most of us already have a charger and a USB-C cable we can use.The Sony's cost me an additional $10-15 over the JLabs but now that I have the Sonys, I think it was worth every penny. I'm gonna go back to just being a Sony guy...I've never had a Sony product let me down. These WI-C100s far exceed my expectations of bluetooth earbuds.**This is my honest review. I bought them with my own money for my own use. I did not receive anything in exchange for a review.**

These headphones offer great sound and long battery life plus with earbuds connected by a cord it’s pretty hard to lose one

Tive dois WI-C200 que duraram 4 anos, ótimos, e acredito que só duraram 4 anos porque era usado no sol e no suor. Como o WI-C100 tem certificação à suor e respingos acredito que durará mais tempo. Comprei a versão chinesa, fiquei em dúvida se era original, mas veio com certificado e o app "headset da Sony" o reconheceu, pude até mudar o idioma de chinês para português Brasil, além de personalizar o equalizador.Ele não possui as cabeças imantadas, o material é mais flexível que o WI-C200 e a bateria dura 1 semanaO isolamento de som externo vai depender da borracha que usará, vem com três tamanhos diferentes.
