Pros:
great audio, earbuds are comfy, easy to use, battery life
Cons:
design: UGLY, behind the neck strap
The audio is excellent. The initial comfort is good. But the design...what were they thinking?!
I only bought these by default. The only active/athletic bluetooth set in the market.
It took my a whole week b/f I had the guts to where these at the gym. Once I did I couldn't look anyone in the eye.
If you want to keep girls from bothering you at the gym buy this headset that looked like it came from a bad 80's sci-fi flick. I'm gonna have to mod these to look somewhat decent.
Another thing that bothered me was the behind-the-neck strap when looking left and right or while on the bench press it seemed to interfere. I adjusted to set to make it better. The earbuds themselves are comfortable and pump out great sound.
I would love to see a bluetooth version of the AS100W. But please Sony, think of your audience. The demographic for this item are young, fit, early adopters who are conscientious about fashion.
I love being wireless, but I don't know if my ego can take it.
I also own the BT50, BT15, BT8iP, and BTA2W

Pros:
Fit reasonibly well and secure. Blu tooth works well
Cons:
Sound is just fair. No life to it. Can't rest your head back
Sound if just fair and dull. Unable to rest your head back. These are for excercise mostly and secure for that. They are not in my oppinion for casual listening.
Blue tooth works well.
i am returning them for a more conventional headphone.

Pros:
Have not broken and maintains a great connection
Cons:
Will not stay on your ears, No Bass, Ugly and very ugly
These Headsets are ok and they are the longest lasting pair that I have owned, that is not necessarily a good thing. My sweaty work-outs have destroyed everything from S9's to the "Meant for sweat" Jaybirds and also a pair of Bluetreks. I was an early adopter and have had these Sonys for close to a year and have not had a mechanical failure with them. That is where the good news ends. The bad is that they really don't fit well enough for running. They tend to flop around and come off the ears. The speakers emit no Bass at all unless they are firmly in your ear, but like I stated already, they don't stay there. Oh yeah and they are Butt Ugly. I will keep wearing these for now because I have rather intense work-outs and they don't seem to be affected by sweat. Just waiting on the next company to finally get everything right.

Pros:
Superior Sound, Cool Design, Great Connection
Cons:
None So Far
The previous review mention about the iPhone limitation - DUH!! IT IS the iPhone that does NOT support A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth)!! It's not Sony's fault for Apple's "flawed music phone"!!
As for the review:
One of the best stereo bluetooth headset around!!
Known reliable Sony product, great sound and superb bluetooth connection.
Couldn't be happier!!

Pros:
Sound quality, fit, wireless
Cons:
Battery, charging, power, price
At first I was impressed, then it all went south. Style was off-putting but had a good feel on my head and earbuds fit well in my ear canal. They connected to my iphone with ease and the sound quality was just as good as my wired earbuds. After 3 workouts battery life dropped to less then 30 minutes. A couple more workouts and the headphones wouldn't charge. I have since sent them back to sony repair. In the mean time I picked up a second set thinking it was a fluke. Problem is the new set is doing the exact same thing. If it's perspiration that's causing the issue then why is sony advertising "moisture guards for intense workouts"? Until I can get a pair that will last more then a week, I can't recommend them for anyone. Hopefully sony will stand behind there product and send out a working pair that really is usable for exercise.

Pros:
NIL
Cons:
bad design.
What was supposed to be its positive aspect of its design, became the negative point of this product. Its not that I dont like sony products, they r best when it comes to address consumer needs, having said that, I wonder what were they really thinking while designing this product. Its the most disappointing purchase I ever made till date.forget about jogging with this on, it never stays on the ear, because of unbalance distribution of its weight. I'm sorry sony, you got it wrong this time.My search for nice wireless earphones continues...

Pros:
wireless, long battery life, volume control
Cons:
volume density low, no sweat resistance, awkward design
There are many things to say about this type of head phones. I am going to start with the pros first. The biggest advantage these head phones have are that they are wireless, and they don't have a problem syncing to a bluetooth device. The next good thing I can say about them are, you can wear them for long periods of time, and they will not lose battery power. Last it has a volume control button.
The cons to this would be that it's has a low density of volume, when worn while you are performing physical fitness this product will not resist against your sweat, and most of all the design is very awkward. I have troubles trying to compact it into my pocket in order to transport it. If you want to purchase this product I suggest you research it very well before purchasing it.
