Sony WI-C100 Bluetooth Neckband, in-Ear Wireless Earphones, Up to 25Hrs Battery, Hands Free Calling, IPX4, Comfortable Fit- Black

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.

The bluetooth connectivity is not good..I am not able to keep it connected constantly and the audio keeps losing in between even at the closest distance.It says High Bass..Its not..They have written good content but in reality the product is similar to Rs.250 headphones on railway station...Ugly SONY product.

Balanced good sound, not for bass lover.

I have used boat rockerz 255 pro, mi dual driver and also my beginner audiophile IEM The "KZ ZSN PRO X".The boat rockerz and mi dual drivers are bloated with Bass as well as, sub bass. with almost the same price as this neckband, the KZs are bright with more bass than sub bass. But its a wired chi-fi with huge sound stage, resolution and superb Clarity that cannot be compared to any of my other earphones.Now, lets talk about the sony wi c100.The sound stage is average, resolution is low(it plays only AAC quality sound).As sony says they are well balanced. but from someone who has the KZs, I felt the treble not lacking, but artificial. the same goes for they vocal clarity, but as this neckband is more focused on voice calls.... its really really good.The sound quality recorded in the mic is just phenomenal, the best of any other earphones i have.So the treble is average, mids are pretty damm good and last but nor the least, the Bass and Sub Bass ....IS Beautiful!! Natural, Smooth and way better than the boat rockerz. not too much not too less. just the right amount of the sub bass and bass. though i thought it was a little bit extra, I turned it 1 level down from the sony headphones app.Oh and if you buy these. do not use your inbuilt equaliser. it doesn't work as expected on these. instead, download the sony headphones app. it has a independent bass tuner to turn the bass and sub bass(together) low and high, naturally.I think the Price could have been some 200-300 rs low. but remember, sony is a popular and trusted headphone brand. also after keep in my that the sound quality is excellent, even though its Bluetooth.I used these for two days. they are very light weight. the build for the ear part is small, weird and it little bit hard to fit in. but I didn't fell any irritation. Overall Built quality doesn't look promising. but i trust sony and think they'll last 3 years atleast.GG 🙂

I bought these to replace my boat headset. According to the reviews it felt as if it is worth while investment however there are some cons.First the pros: The headset paring is a breeze. It has its own dedicated app for controlling music. It supports 3d surround play . It even provides detailed steps in setting up your ear phones even as far as taking pictures of your ears to calibrate the best way to wear it. The music quality is also decentNow the cons : the main issue i am facing with this is the design. If i lay down on the bed all the controls and battery because of the weight will go behind my back. Due to this i have to constantly adjust the headphones. Also if you arent wearing them on your ears you will not have the confidence to wear it around your neck as it is light weight with no magnetic closure like other brands. it will definitely fall off from your neck without you even realising. I am also finding myself constantly searching for controls on the headphones as due its light weight a heavy wind will blow the controls behind the neck. I dont recommend, running,riding a bike or even wearing a back pack with this as you will be constantly searching on your back of your neck for the controls.

Value for money. I bought it for 74 years old mother for phone and listen to prayers from YouTube. She has hearing difficulties but this headphones does very good job. Goes around neck so no worries of going missing. Easy to use and battery life is also good.
