Review: Gym Perfect - I think I've had every generation of these types of Sony MP3 Walkman's and not every iteration has been an improvement on the last in terms of usability or fitment. I'm pleased to say that these are definitely better than my previous generation which, is a real relief given the cost uplift. That being said I got these for under £100 which, is less than a pair of half decent buds alone and you do clearly get more for you money. And a lot of packaging. And that's not entirely a good thing today - see photo. Firstly, sound quality. Good. Not superb but perfectly decent for gym use or swimming if that's your bag. The sound is not base heavy and is slightly bright which of course suits some music better than other types. I'm a metal fan and I like a bit more low down to get a good chug going which, I find is the perfect accompaniment to heavy gym lifting. It's perfectly acceptable but I found my Bose Soundsports better in that regard. The sound is perfect for voice though, and as I'm an Audible fan this is a real plus point. Speech clear and legible at all sound levels. One of the selling points is the ability of these to be used in water and in the spirit of investigation I have done so using the supplied ear buds that have a fine seal over the sound emitting orifice. The sound quality is in no way reduced as far as I can tell. It's still good overall. What is noticeable is that the volume level is lower which, is acceptable as long as you crank the volume up. Fitment and security of fit is brilliant. Absolutely superb. I'm not sure what sport you would have to be doing to get these to come loose but you would probably be at risk of your head coming off first. And despite the very good fit they are comfortable for long term use. The design is similar to all previous similar Sony players. Whilst not as small as Bluetooth only earbuds they are well crafted to sit flush to your head and stick out less than the likes of the aforesaid Bose Soundsports. In other words you won't look like an extra from the Star Trek bridge. Controls are easy to use once your memory muscle has kicked in and your fingers learned where they need to go. Where these are an upgrade in cost over the cheaper version is the addition of Bluetooth which, means you have options. You can stream media from your phone or suitable player as well as use the integrated MP3 player. The MP3 player is what I need for the gym because the gym I use is large and using Bluetooth earphones or buds results in dropouts if I leave my phone on a shelf. And I hate having to carry an MP3 player or phone in a pocket. One thing to note is that all my previous Sony MP3 Walkmen carked it suddenly after 18 to 24 months. This is irritating because I've had other players and wireless earbuds that work well past that point. However the convenience of these Sony's is enough for me to accept that every couple of years I'll need to replace them. Overall, I genuinely don't believe there is a better active MP3 player. Some alternatives sound better, haver better battery life or options but none come close to covering all the bases as much as these do.
Review: The all-in-one solution! - This device fits my needs of being a Bluetooth headset but also a stand-alone music player when running without a phone. The fit is awesome and there is absolutely no bouncing or any chance they would fall out even during the hardest of sprints. The sound quality is excellent and the ambient sound mode works quite well to. When riding my bike for example, I like to hear the ambient sounds (traffic etc), while I prefer to block out ambient sounds when listening to music while working on my computer. the controls are quite well thought out. I was worried that navigating 4 GB of music without a display on the device would be impossible, but with double-clicking the prev/next-buttons too switch between folders it works quite well. (One suggestion: double-click back on first song of a folder could ALWAYS trigger switch to PREVIOUS folder, not just in the first one or two seconds. If I want to skip back to beginning of current folder, I can do that with single click back anyway while at first song...) I have not yet used them for swimming but don't think I would be using them for a proper pool workout. I might consider giving them a try for a longer, steady lake-swim but honestly - the waterproofing feature is more of an added bonus for me rather than my main focus. I did however just keep them on for the shower after a run which is pretty cool. One little improvement would be on the volume of the various beeps and voice-feedback when pressing the buttons. It is sometimes quite loud and inexplicably differs between Walkman-mode and Bluetooth mode. All in all this device is very well made and thought through. I had a couple of cheaper Bluetooth headsets before, but they always fell short in overall quality and usability and didn't offer stand-alone music playing. This device is well worth the extra investment, provided that it will stand the test of time and hold up against the daily abuse I'll be throwing at it...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many songs can this mp3 hold? 4GB does not seem alot?**
A: Depends on what type of the music you are trying to put into its memory. 4GB for AAC/mp3 type of pop music (3-5MB) probably just 750 music files can be put in them. However, if you put some better format, ALAC/FLAC 16-bit type of file (30-50MB), you can calculate how much you can put into. However, there is another option for this one is bluetooth. So if you have some streaming plan on your mobile device, you can use them on the go. These memories are only extremely useful, when you plan to take it go to swim. If you considering how long you gonna stay in the water, 70 music files, which is using the better format, it takes around 3.5 hours to finish a round. So it can be said enough. Because it a place for you to play music, rather than keep music in it. You can store your music in better method. Keeping them all the time in these flash drive type of storage platform will increase the chance of losing the files.

**Q: Does anyone with glasses use these?   And, if so, are they comfortable...do you still recommend these earbuds?**
A: Hello. Yes I would still recommend. I run wearing sun glasses and I mountain bike wearing goggles/eye protection. Never fallen out or had any issues.

**Q: Is an IPad Pro compatible in any way to link the device for drag and drop of files?**
A: Hi,

This Walkman should be compatible with iPad Pro 9.7inch, and you can check the compatibility for other devices through this link: http://bit.do/fTjrZ (copy and paste the link into your web browser).
And you can use it with MAC devices through our software ''Content transfer'': http://bit.do/fTjr3 & http://bit.do/fTjr5 & http://bit.do/fTjr8 (copy and paste the link into your web browser).
Also, we recommend checking this link to learn more about the unit: http://bit.do/fTjsa (copy and paste the link into your web browser).

Sony support team

**Q: Can I have different playlists/folders?**
A: The newer versions are much more apt at doing this for you when you sync with Apple Music and you can then choose to shuffle play or opt for a particular folder when wearing them with the downloaded tunes.  My older ones that I’m now using again add the tunes you upload to folders too but they are not as well organised) lost the upgrade ones after 3 days lol…still gutted as they’ve sold out so I upgraded my piano keyboard instead when I couldn’t replace them)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seem to be a good purchase - will put to the test shortly with vigour!
*by G***G on 1 May 2018*

Just received these - loaded up some music and connected Bluetooth to my phone, no problem. Instructions for the software could be a little clearer, but it's not bad. Look to be a decent way to pass the time while swimming. a little odd having voice instructions in your ear about what you are doing, but probably quite useful. As with anything with several functions guided by small buttons on each earpiece that one can't see while wearing, it will take some practice to get used to what does what instinctively, but that will come in use. I've read complaints about volume and sound quality, but I have none at this point. Sounds perfectly good to me - however I've not used them in a pool yet. Am on holiday next week so will get the chance to test it. I have gone off swimming for exercise as I find it boring - but this is why I bought these. I might come back and revise the review to a 5 Star one when I've had some use of them. But so far, impressed with packaging, quality, comfort and sound. UPDATE: After 13 months of almost daily use with an iPhone 8 and then an iPhone 10X Max the headset wouldn't connect. The profile was still on the phone. But the BT button on the left side unit failed to do as it should. Deleted the profile form my phone and tried to re-pair it - but the Walkman wouldn't go in to pairing mode (alternate red and blue lights) just stayed green. Contacted Sony support (oxymoron...) but was told that the iPhone 10 isn't compatible. After a year and a month of working perfectly.... I replied to that effect but was told that it wasn't compatible and that's it, pretty much. Told me to update the firmware - even though I had the same version already installed. Did that and of course no difference. I suspect there is a fault in the headset somewhere - as pressing the BLuetooth button seems to have the same effect as pressing the Mode button - I hear messages like 'shuffle mode' or 'album mode'. But no Bluetooth functions. Not impressed after just a year's worth of use. Will notify Sony, but this is likely to be a banging the head against a wall issue. They'll tell me the headset isn't compatible with the phone (despite a year of trouble free use) and the reality is it IS compatible but there's a fault in the electronics/buttons. and a month or so outside the warranty period. A shame - as apart from the fiddly buttons, it's been a great headset to use in active exercise.
