Pretty decent headphones ever
on August 13, 2014
Posted by: Willarino
I got these headphones and they work pretty well. I would occasionally like to turn them up louder, but they reach a max limit which is still pretty high. The quality of them is very good when I use both my phone and my laptop. I took them to work (where I work around a whole bunch of Macs that use bluetooth keyboard/mice) and I experienced the occasional clicking/static sound in them. I never experienced that at home so I am not sure if there was some bluetooth interference or something. They have a very comfortable fit and the controls on the earphones are helpful to change songs and turn up the volume without having to go back to your phone. I am satisfied with the purchase, but maybe the next headset I get for work will not be bluetooth and instead like just plain ole wireless.

does a good job blocking a bit of noise
on May 14, 2014
Posted by: gabby131
Coming from a 30mm Driver (BT/NFC) Sony headphones, MDR-1RBT is a worth upgrade.
I've been using Sony DRBTN200B and they sound great for my taste. But because of it's 30mm Driver unit (On-Ear#, 'tis not enough to slightly block external noise. I am not a fan of ANC/NC but I knew I would need a set of headphones that covers my ear #Over-Ear). Then MDR-1RBT came and I gave it a go. As Sony says, 'tis Premium Headphones and is definitely premium. I know it would sound great for me as I've been with Sony for a long while, but my concern was if the 40mm driver unit will be good enough to slightly block noise. And yes indeed, someone would require a throwing tool to grab my attention while MDR-1RBT is on my head. 'tis also the most comfortable headphones I've tried to date.

Everything I wanted
on November 23, 2012
Posted by: Rob37
Full disclosure: I'm a Sony headphone fanboy. First impressions on the MDR-1RBT are great. Overall sound is good with big bass. Bluetooth pairing is fast, reliable, and has great range. They fit snugly on my head with a fair amount of inward pressure, but after wearing them for only relatively short periods they don't seem to cause any discomfort. They appear sturdy and I'm not worried about them getting a bit of abuse. Mic quality seems good. Volume controls on the headphone augments the volume setting from the paired bluetooth device which is great. I wasn't able to get them to pair with my Nokia 920 over NFC though after mainally paired the NFC works fine to power on and off the headphones so maybe just user error.
Definitally the most I'v paid for a pair of headphones, but I'm still happy enough with the value.
What's great about it: Stylish, audio quality, build quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent headphones
on February 15, 2013
Posted by: happyfunball
These are excellent, they blew me away. They are the best BT headphones I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot. There is no difference between BT and the wired connection when it comes to quality.
Thats a good thing, since they don't come with an iPhone cord, so if you are using Apple products you pretty much *have* to use BT.
They work fine on my iPhone5 and Macs.
What's great about it: BT, sound quality, clarity
What's not so great: no iphone cord
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great - one minor flaw for iPhone users
on February 1, 2014
Posted by: Toddfd
I was concerned about sound quality using Bluetooth - but the sound is fantastic. I also thought I'd miss the noise canceling - but these do a great job of excluding ambient sound. They also look and feel great, and getting rid of the wire is wonderful. But on my iPhone 5, I lose the first second of each song, apparently due to some flaw in the Bluetooth interface with iOS - it seems to take a second for the audio signal to start the Bluetooth feed. Not a huge problem, but I dropped a star from my rating for this issue - Sony should have addressed it. To be fair, Sony does warn of iOS compatibility issues, but to get 5 stars, I believe they should make these headphones fully compatible. Interestingly, I have no audio delay when watching video on the iPhone, a problem I have read about with other wireless headphones. Maybe 4 and a half stars?

Comfy, great sound, garbage build quality
on October 29, 2014
Posted by: FlimbS
These sound exactly how I was hoping, warm sounding, exciting. Also they are very comfy, have long battery life, and work when the battery is dead. Unfortunately they are made of all plastic. They are advertised as having silent silicon joints but the joints on mine are so squeaky and creaky that every time I move my head in the slightest or chew with my jaw I hear the creaking through the music. Also the nfc button rattles if I walk around with them on. Sounds from other reviews like I may have just got a bad set and they aren't all like this, but I can't recommend these as I regret buying them due to the poor construction quality. I think the problem is with sonys quality control.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

on August 5, 2014
Posted by: LuisVegas
Simply elegant and fun to have on, the sound is amazing. Yes I take them to the gym i been going over 3 years and I am tired of the in ear ones and don't care what other people think I am the one enjoying them :) . I do pull ups and squats and all the other exercises for the other body parts and not once have they even moved or got in the way. I bike to the gym and I wear some in earphones but when I get to the gym and put this babies on WOW !!!!! it just makes you happy :) I listen to hip hop and some rap just gotta mess with the bass but I mostly listen to spanish music all kinds and they sound amazing ... Buy... oh yea my nephew goes with me to the gym and he just got the Beats Studio Wireless Over-Ear Headphone (Titanium) and they don't come even close to my Sony's :)
