The NW-WS413 is an improvement over the prior model NWZ-W273. All buttons are easier to press and give more tactile response. The docking contacts on the headphones are raised so they make a better connection to the docking station, which was sometimes a problem with the prior model.

Does not connect with Apple devices. With andriod devices bluetooth connection keep dropping. Feel of product is way to bad. Not easy on easier. Thank to AO, returned it back and got refund.

I dont like wires on me when I workout in the gym and work too hard to carry a phone around. Ive tried many pairs of wrap-around headphones These fit super snug and dont pop loose. They also have great battery life. I think Ive charged them up once or twice in a month but that is just a precaution.

The sound quality is very satisfying; The divice is pretty straightforward to use; Good range of colours; Good for gym exercises, running, etc

Considering the device is waterproof I bought it mainly for listening to music while I swim laps; Unfortunately, the earphones keep falling out and I have to readjust them every 3, 4 laps; Your head needs to have a very precise shape for the MP3 player to fit perfectly.

I have not just one but two of these headsets. Both of them stopped working JUST after 12 months. I find it very dishonest that Sony have clearly built in 'planned obsolescence'. The warranty is 12 months. You are paying almost $200 for a product that will last JUST over 12 months.

The Sony NW-WS413 is a 4GB MP3 player built into a set of waterproof and dust-proof IP67/68 headphones. There's also the NW-WS414, which are identical but bump up the storage to 8GB. Both models form part of the Sony Walkman NW-WS410 series. That's the simple answer.

Battery life; One hour of use from three-minute charge; Superb fit and weight; Waterproofing and dust-proofing

Need to swap earbuds; No Bluetooth option or mic; Expensive

I found these initially tricky to set up via the computer which took some time. The controls are very small and fiddly. However they work really well and have so improved my swimming sessions. No more boring lengths!

some of my friends said the charger sometimes broken. but this mp3 players do look cool. many people like it. I suggest that it could be a little louder. Works well for music that no problem, but when I try to listen to books it's just too quiet.

easy to used

This is my second pair of waterproof headphones and I love them. It's taking a while to get used to the buttons as they are slightly different to my original pair (same make but slightly improved version) really easy to get the music from the pc to the headphones and charges really quick.
