PoHq: Mine arrived yesterday.

Good stuff.

Great price. Great sound. Great fit. Waterproof. Great battery.

Bad stuff.

As someone else said. The app isn't great. You can't use Spotify or any other streaming service with the app. It only works with pre loaded music. So if you use Spotify you are simply buying a Bluetooth pair of earphones. You lose the ability to use the GPS and heart rate monitor. You can only use them for runnig. No other activity is supported.

I'll hang onto it and maybe give the app another go. Otherwise I will just use them as BT earphones. I wouldn't be happy if i'd paid $400 for them which they are on the Sony NZ site but for $179 I'm happy.

 

 

 

Yes I feel the same way, I would not be happy at $400. 

 

The fit for me is not that great however that is because of my ears more than anything :(

 

 

 

 

There are awesome BT earphones on amazon for $22.

Unless the sonys truely do work underwater or their HR is really good why would you spend 20x the money on them?

Because they do work underwater :)

 

I use mine 4 or 5 times a week to go swimming, this includes under water of about 2 meters.

 

 

 

It's interesting swimming underwear with music playing.
