Right, i ummed and aarged , and bought them just now. Total cost with delivery 56 quid, i've never spent so much on headphones but fancy something a bit special.

On the plus side, i saw an advert that said open an aqua card and get £20 off amazon so thought i would give it a shot and was accepted so total cost is now more like 36 quid provided i do get my amazon voucher!

I always pay credit cards off in full so they wont make a profit out of me. :money:

Well,hope they work out for you.
Im more than happy with them. I use them all day. in work. i take mobile calls on them meaning im hands free without using speakerphone as I used to do.
Got a dodgy shoulder,so holding the phone to my ear with y shoulder is a on starter.
From other callers,they knock socks off my car bluetooth for call quality.
I use them with tablets & phones for leisure use.

Sony SBH80 bluetooth earphones, my review?

Dreadful

The instructions that came were appalling but i managed to get it to work after charging it a bit and fiddling.

There is no way to know whether they are on or off. You get a green light and a red light when charging but when i push and hold the very small power button down for 5 seconds i get nothing.

Yesterday when i got it to work it vibrated and a blue flashing light came on.

I am pretty sure i have a dodgy pair here.

When i got them to work the music quality was, from my experience of other headphones, pretty average.

I haven't managed to run in them yet, and probably wont because it doesn't look like i will get them to work again.

Lol just got them to work.

I think i will go for a jog with them tomorrow but may have to send them back then if the power button is going to be this fiddly.

You know when it comes on because it flashes blue but i didn't realise that, i thought it flashed blue yesterday when the Bluetooth was connecting.

Easiest way. Put them on.
They make an on/off sound.
Also forgot to say,the Sony Smart connect app gives you battery charge info etc.
If they dont work for you its a personal thing.

Ok will bear the on off sound in mind, currently got them paired up with my phone so not turning them off just yet in case i have grief.

Went for a run in them tonight and they were ok, not too heavy. One of my buds fell out but put it back in and it was ok.

For the money they are good, just the on off. Never had such a small and annoying button on anything.

If i have a right game putting them back on during the next couple of days i will have to send them back- and i'm not the sort of person that sends stuff back usually.

Do yours turn on and off easy? It would be my luck to have a dodgy pair.

Mine are usually on most of the day as I keep them on at work.
pop them under my collar.
Earpiece in,hold button until i hear the on sound.
Done.

Thinking about it,Im maybe more used to this set up as I had Sony walkman headphone MP3 players before.

I had mine in from 10 until about 5 while working.

It vibrated at about 4pm, i presume that is to tell me the battery is close to recharge?

I enjoy how un-intrusive they are, you don't really notice them around your neck.

You should definitely check Jaybird Bluebuds X. They are not the cheap, but they are amazing! Search for good review on youtube.
