Sony DR-BT50 Bluetooth review

 

These Sony Bluetooth 'phones would be ideal for long-term wireless listening. Plenty of bass weight, and fine midband detail.

Good sound - ideal for long-term wireless listening on a long trip.

Geat product

 

These are great. I use them with my phone (iPhone 4S) every single day at work. They last for 2-3 days with 8 hours of usage per day no problem. I would recommend these to anyone, and they are very confortable as I do not prefer earbuds or on-ear...

Compared to other products in this area, I really have no complaints at all

Does not always connect, sound choppy

 

I bought that set because it was the best wireless set available and was willing to pay premium for a good brand. What a disappointement. Most of the times it does not connect. If I sit next to the computer and when it connnects it is nice sound.

Good sound quality when it works

Difficult to connect, works on some systems and not on others, expensive

Not Compatible with Win 7

great concept, does not perform well

Does not work with Win 7 ; Do not purchase if you intend to use this device with Win 7
