Product Reviews

The connection between the charger and headset is unstable

i have been a long time user of this product with several previous purchases (due to wear and tear, lost) dating almost 10-12 years ago. not too sure if this current product is faulty but i felt the lifespan of the fully charged battery seemed shorter than my previous sets.

I bought this a month ago and had totally not used it because I try to syn it with my Notebook/labtop and it cannot seem to connect... so i can't download my Mp3 files... thus it is a complete washout :-( Of course you can say it is my labtop which is the problem, but fact is I have not problem with other external revices (Printer, HDD, SDD, Mobile devices, etc)..

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT, I HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL OF THEM. I LOVE SWIMMING WITH IT. BEST EXPERIENCE. GREAT PRODUCT AND QUALITY. SONY, PLEASE DON'T STOP MANUFACTURING THIS PRODUCT. ALL THE NEW SHOKZ PRODUCTS ARE NOWHERE AS GOOD AS THIS PRODUCT.

It was great experience again: swimming and listening to my favourite music. but after about 20 days it started bugging and then stopped turning on and charging and not responding on buttons at all. Fortunately, I took advantage of Lazada's refund (30 days). In the future, I plan to buy another one (already the 3rd one). I hope it will work for a very long time

LOVE THIS PRODUCT, IT IS MY SECOND PAIR AND LOVELY FOR SWIMMING

Bought to replace my old walkmans and these are not a disappointment

Loved it. I have consistently used the walkman and i bought and used a lot of them. This is my First bluetooth model. It does not budge in intense exercise. Sound and fit is flawless Just hope it lasts more than 2 years!

Bought this to swim with. Bought this Bluetooth model over the one without so that I can listen to podcast while swimming connected to my watch. Bluetooth doesn’t work under water! The sound quality is lousy as compared to the Float Run which I also own. The ear plugs are uncomfortable and leak even when I am using the largest size.

I bought it last month to replace my old NW-WS413 that was bought two years ago. I feel that the product life is shortened. My first one is NWZ-W273. It could last for eight years! Moreover, the audio performance is average and I prefer the previous model. There are a few brands who offer waterproof walkmans, and Sony is the best among them.

This is my second set after the first died a natural death. I literally used it for so many years until the batteries died out. Enjoyed it very much and therefore, I'm replacing it with exactly the same model. Only thing about this new set is that the batteries did not last as long as the first set I had. I seem to need to charge it more often

Excellent product but poor availability which makes you look for other brands

Bought this Apr2023 and enjoyed the headset hanging over my ears well. Great sound but experienced difficulty in connecting to blue tooth and the battery drained pretty fast. It was returned to Sony repair and I will be given a new set. Will review again on the new set

Uncomfortable to wear even when running Poor battery life that I feel I bought an old product

Unfortunate case. The volume went haywire on my 3rd times using it. It was a new purchase & I could manage to have it 1 to 1 exchange after 1 week of submission to the Service Centre in Somerset. Bought it from Shopee & lucky choose Sony Shopee Mall just to get the 1 year warranty if not, I'll be wasting my money on a product that I'd only used 3 times. 1st time trying this product which didn't give me a very good impression. Furthermore the earpiece gave me a painful earache initially. Now quite used to it. Hope it can last me long enough. I like to run light that's the reason why I always look out for standalone headphone that can play music & even my watch is also a standalone to answer calls. One thing bad is no indication of battery usage. Need to improve on this. As compared to other brands, Sony is lacking behind. The + point is the buttons for easy pressing while running. I can change my music easily.

Five months after I bought it, it started to give problems. The mic is not working and support to trouble shoot is lacking. No phone numbers to call. Took it down to service center at 313 Somerset and hopefully they give me a new one. They said they will sms me to let me know in 1-2 weeks! Past 5 months had connection issues to bluetooth as well. Worked sometimes and many other times had difficulty connecting. Not the easiest product to use. I think the Apple ipod has a better track record from what friends tell me and service is much better from Apple.

I bought this mainly for my running and jogging exercises. It does the job pretty well. Feels good at ears with great sound. I am satisfied.

I bought this a month ago and was really good quality

My old water-resistant (or not so much) headset stopped working due to an internal short circuit. It can charge but then switches on and off randomly until it is empty again. Play button also doesn't work anymore. Since this is not a repairable item I bought a new one. The new one only has 4GB storage - sad. The sound is a bit better and it has the sound pass through function. Rest is practically the same. Let's see how long that one will last.

I was super excited as I swam underwater in the pool with music for the first time, but unfortunately that would be the penultimate time too. After the second use the right headphone ceased emitting sound and I had to return the product. Hopefully it was just a blip and when returned from warrantee it works. disappointed since I went with Sony because I expected quality

I bought the device about a month ago and right now I am using it only for swimming and nothing else. The only thing I like about the product is the fit and the fact that it is waterproof. On the other hand the many disadvantages I feel are: 1. Short battery life on Bluetooth play mode. (Approximately only about 3 hours). 2. Absence of warning of low battery level. (The moment the low battery audible of low battery is heard the device stops functioning immediately). 3. Sound quality in MP3 player mode is disappoint. (Bluetooth play has better sound quality as it it boosted by the phone's music app sound enhancement features.

Bought this about a month back. Very good for a workout & running - stays in the ear, without slipping or falling out. It's very light, so is not uncomfortable even over 2-3 hours of use The buttons are quite easy to navigate, and provide wireless access to practically all major functions. Sound quality is surprisingly good for this price-point ! Battery life is also pretty good.

After so many consideration, I have decided to buy this product and I've purchased this 3 times. So far, it is my loyal companion in my swimming. A few things for improvement : - memory capacity needs to be increased - need to improve quality of the mechanism, my second one was already had glitz only after less than a year usage, luckily the service center replaced it for the new one but I also bought the new one cos I couldn't wait for 2 wks (I had to swim the next day). My first one was lasted a few years.

The product is suitable for swimming, but swimming earbuds will impact the audio. It is considered slightly heavy for regular usage and will burden your ears if used for an extended period.

I wanted some music whilst doing my swim workouts. MP3 is a great feature as Bluetooth needs my hand phone nearby and it don’t work in water. The buttons need getting use to. The ambient function is good. In pool, I want to only listen to my music. On my runs, I want to hear the surroundings for safety. This product did it all. It’s just a little bulky. If it’s slimmer, would be awesome.

What more can I say on this product! This is my second purchase.

Am so happy I bought this. My previous similar but older design lasted me for 5 full years. Though it's still Good, the battery tends to die off faster. And so I bought the updated model..

This was my third pair. Slight improvement on the charging adapter but the charging contact point between adapter and ear phone can be improved as the last experience was due to loosen in charging contact point. As for sound quality is almost same, hope it can improve in future.

I bought this waterproof walkman bluetooth headphones for 1 feature only and that is the WATERPROOF ASPECT. I used this mainly for listening to music or podcast while swimming. Its a great device and does very well at what it does. The sound quality is decent even under water. The only downside to why this isn't 5 stars are a) The name of this device needs help. Its a mouthful, both Walkman and yet it's really a bluetooth headphones. Sony needs to rebrand this clearly. b) The built in music app does not allow for speed of the playback to 1.5x or 2x speed. I think this would be a wonderful addition to the software. Some folks like me listen to podcast at 1.5x to 2x.

always click a wrong button because of no hold button function. battery low even has been charged overnight.

Happy that i bought this one. Nice fit. Walkman function is all good, zero issues. Sound is not bad, strong mid, clear bass. Overall is all good. Am using this on daily basis now to commute

I just used this product less than 2 weeks and they one side earphone no sound at all.

I bought it one month ago. There was no sound after using it for a few days. I have not had time to bring it the the service center.

Great device, very useful and easy to use. Like the features and robust. Could be more better if can upgrade with more storage in future.

Tight on my head and in ear, great for outdoor sports and swimming.

I am happy with the product. The turning policy is still very appealing. I only want it for swimming...

This walkman has made my swim sessions way more delightful. It was more like a dream for me to be able to listen to music while swimming. Sony has made it come true. The sound quality is really good. Operating it is very simple. It has very clear instructions online. I hope Sony offers some app support in the future so that we can use offline music stream services like Amazon music, etc. I also wish it came with a case! What else can I say? I love my walkman.

I bought this for my jogging, it is good partner with good sound, and long lasting for my running journey.

This Sony Waterproof and dustproof Walkman® with BLUETOOTH® Wireless is super great. What I like is the sound and simple to maintained. The battery can last longer than what I anticipated. As I use it for my gym training and jogging is very light when you wear it you really don't feel it at all.

amazing earphones for swimming and running! this is my second pair and I live and swear by it

I brought. 2 sets of the headphones. 1 for me & 1 for my partner. We love them and find the sound quality to be great. The only down side to the headphones is being able to load music to the headset. The process needed to go through is not as straight forward as it says especially if you are trying to use music from Spotify.

Fantastic equipment especially for swimming, jogging is also great

This is my 5th purchase over the many years - serve me well. Need replacement every 2-3 years due to wear and tear

It totally change ny swimming experience. I lvoe swimming but It's definitely a boring routine. Now I can listen to music or podcas or audiobooks. Amazing! must have if you enjoy swimming

I used to use a wireless headset by LG. That headset would almost immediately connect to my iPhone using Bluetooth when powered up. The Sony headset takes more than 15 seconds from power on to establish Bluetooth connection. After using this product for a month, recently, the Bluetooth connection does not even get established. Have to re-do it several times before connection is established. Not as good a user experience as my LG headset.

Great improvement from previous 200 series model, which I owned for many years

Product is Awesome but the only problem is the color comes out near the charging area at the ear hook
