Best 2026 Open-Ear Headphones for Included accessories
Included accessories earn praise where reviewers appreciate Sony putting fit cushions in the box rather than selling them separately.
Pros: Battery, Stability
Cons: Value for money, Charging
Optional stability bands are a useful backup for smaller ears or anyone wanting an extra contact point during exercise.
Pros: Sound quality, Comfort during long use
Cons: Value for money, Volume output
A silicone tightening accessory is included for smaller heads. It produced a perfect fit for one wearer but failed to resolve another wearer’s fit concerns.
Pros: Comfort during long use, Stability
Cons: Sound quality, Overall satisfaction
The box includes the expected charging cable, guide, case, and earbuds. The printed multilingual instructions were considered useful but somewhat difficult to follow.
Pros: Overall satisfaction, Carry case quality
The dongle and charging cable are useful additions, while the reflective neck strap is more mixed because some find it stiff or uncomfortable.
Pros: Overall satisfaction, Sound quality

The package is sparse and notably omits a USB-C charging cable. Buyers may need to use a cable they already own.
Pros: Charging, Stability
Cons: Bass performance, Sound quality
The box is sparse, with earbuds, case, and paperwork but no USB-C charging cable. Anyone without a spare cable must supply their own.
Pros: Weight comfort, Sound quality
Cons: Noise isolation (passive), Wireless charging
The box contains only the basic cable, case, and paperwork, leaving the accessory package noticeably sparse.
Pros: Overall satisfaction, Sound quality
Cons: Maximum volume clarity, Noise isolation (passive)
