Good value and excellent controls
Special mention to the controls. There's a proper switch to turn them on and off, there are separate controls for volume and track skipping - no doubling up, no double-tapping or long-pressing! The controls themselves are high quality, they feel good and work well.Sound quality is decent, not outstanding but perfectly listenable and good for the price.I've got mine connected to more than one device and it switches between them with no problems. I haven't had a single drop-out in the month I've been using them.Battery life is very good.I'm not sure if they'd stay on during some exercises, if I bend over they tend to fall off just like I'd expect any on-ear headphones to, but for hiking and rowing they are great.

Good sound quality and battery but a lot of noise leakage
I bought these over and above other over ear headphones as they were meant to be good at avoiding sound leakage. Sadly that's not the case. Every song you hear will be heard by people around you.Also the unit is quite loose after a year of use - and hence easily slips off. Running is okay, but if you're doing any activity where you may look down - push ups, burpees etc - they will fall off.Having said the above - they are quite comfortable to wear, and the controls are extremely handy. Its ability to pair with multiple devices is seamless and you can be listening to music on one device, answer a call on another, and after the call your music will continue. So excellent in that regard.

Yah Boo to Sony
So here's my review after 1st month. Pros: Paired with all my devices, both ios and android. They look and feel of good quality. Able to control all devices. Battery life excellent. Biggest pro is that they shut my techie snob mate up, who spent 5 times as much on his beloved untouchable Sony WH headphones. Cons. Only 4 stars for comfort, but i had been wearing them for over an hour.

Good product would recommend
brought primarily to use when in the gym doing stationary bike workouts. Good sound, are a little bassy but my preferred music is old reggae and soul so slightly heavy bass without being overpowering or muddying the sound for me is a good thing, would only take a minor bit of eq to adjust as preferred.Headphones feel light and comfortable on, I wear them for 90min sessions with no problems, no issues with sweat. Battery life is good, and have had no issues with connectivity to phone. Using them for calls is fine.Good for the money

Very good sound quality and microphone, but very uncomfortable on ears.
Very good sound quality and microphone, but very uncomfortable on ears. It took 6 months for them to adjust reasonably well on my ears, they still hurt after 2-3 hrs of use. I've purchased them for £16 and for that price they are amazing, but do not buy if you need to keep them the whole day.
