About the Sony MDR-AS800BT

Save the wires for your home theater

Cable management should not be a part of your workout. The Sony MDR-AS800BT sports headphones let you listen wirelessly with your smartphone, so you can expend energy on more important pursuits — like not collapsing from exhaustion. These compact in-ear headphones will power your workout with heart-pounding, gut-busting sound and a uniquely secure fit. They're also water-resistant, so a little rain and sweat won't damage them. The built-in battery is easily rechargeable with your computer or wall charger, for hours of musical motivation for calorie burning and muscle toning.

Sony MDR-AS800BT active sports headset

Get serious about your workout tunes, with the wireless convenience and secure fit of the MDR-AS800BT sports Bluetooth headphones.

Two ways to wear 'em

These headphones offer two fit options. You can simply place them in your ears like you would any ear buds. Or better yet, you could use the included "arc supporters" to get a more secure fit. Choose from three sizes of supporters to help anchor the headphones in your ears. Install them on the earpieces, put them in your ears, wrap the cables and around your ears, and the connecting wire rests comfortably behind your neck.

"Can't talk... in pain!"

Maybe you're in good enough shape to talk on the phone while you run. If so, you'll appreciate the 'AS800BT's built-in remote and microphone for easy wireless calls with your smartphone. Personally, I'm more interested in using the remote to skip that annoying power ballad that somehow crept into my workout playlist. The multi-function button also offers volume control, so you can turn down the music to hear the shouts of encouragement from onlookers as you kick it into high gear... or the mocking laughter as children make fun of your awkward stride and tortoise-like pace.
