Sony MDRXB70BT/B Wireless, In-Ear Headphone, DARK Black

I\'ve been using these for a month now as a replacement for my SBH80 model (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZTJKYU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_53) that died after one year of use.In that time, I\'ve found that I actually prefer these to the SBH80 which cost twice as much.The sound is comparable, though these are a liiiittle bit heavy on the bass side at first - break them in and the sound level balances out quite nicely with a rich overall profile.I find these to be more comfortable than the SBH80 as well; the SBH80 had a tendency to slide across your neck, leaving the large central unit dangling off to one side, which was annoying.The silicone band used in this model is super lightweight and comfortable, and it nice not to have that larger plastic unit draped across the back of your neck.The earbuds are very light and comfortable, and you\'re provided with 6 silicone tips of varying sizes - the buds are also compatible with Comply foam tips as well.The controls are intuitive, with raised +, -, and power buttons, with the + and - buttons used as volume control with a click, and skipping tracks forward and backward if you hold the button down for 2 seconds. The power button also doubles as the call button, operating on the same system as the volume; click to take a call or hang up, and hold to power on or off.I was also pleasantly surprised by the vocal alerts from the unit, as it clearly says \'Power On\', \'Power Off\', and \'Bluetooth Connected\' when engaging those different functions.My only real concern with the MDRXB70BT/B is the very slim profile of the wires that lead to the earbuds, I could see them getting snagged on something and snapping off, or just wearing out over time. Granted, those are speculative worries, but it\'s something to remain conscious of.Overall I\'m very impressed with these earbuds, especially considering the price - I hope they last longer than my SBH80 earbuds did, because the value present with this unit is quite incredible indeed.
Ok. So I had the SOL Republic Shadows before these and wrote a long review. But unfortunately they weren\'t sweat proof and stopped working while I was working. I reverted to my spare wired Sony MDRXB50AP (Extra Bass) while I looked again for a new pair of wireless ear buds. Came across these Sony MDRXB70BT and reviews claimed great bass. First I saw them for $70, didn\'t want to go that high since my SOLs didn\'t last a year. Found the same pair for 30 bucks cheaper. Ok, I\'ll bite. I raved about the SOL Republic bass response and if it wasn\'t for the hot days, I\'d still have them and would be very happy. Now that I heard these SONY ear buds, SOL Republic isn\'t even a close second for bass and clarity to me. Very heavy and clear bass. I\'m even hearing more sounds in the same songs that I haven\'t heard with other ear buds. Once again, I\'ve been shown that the Bluetooth technology game is rapidly getting closer to the quality of wired ear buds. May be even close than I know. I can only speak on the sets that I\'ve had. And before these, SOL Republic was #1 to me for wireless ear buds and Sony was #1 to me for wired. In my book, right now, SONY has my pick for top Wireless Bass Ear Buds and Wired Bass Ear Buds. Throw an EQ App into the mix on your phone and these ear buds transform your music.
