I recently got my hands on the Sony BRAVIA Theater U Wearable TV Speaker, and I have to say, this device has changed my entertainment experience. As a tech enthusiast and a big gamer, I was intrigued by the idea of a wearable speaker, and it did not disappoint.
First off, the design is very sleek and the speaker rests comfortably on my shoulders without feeling too bulky or heavy, which was one of my initial concerns. The materials feel premium, and the bottom of the speakers has a nice pleather coating that ensures that it stays in place while sitting upright or even laying down while at an angle. After a few minutes, I would hardly notice that I even had it on, which just goes to show for its ergonomic design.
The sound quality is where the BRAVIA Theater U truly shines. The audio is clear, rich, and immersive, engulfing you in a surround sound experience that is quite impressive for such a compact device. Whether I’m watching a movie, playing a game, or taking a call, the sound comes from all around me, adding a new level of depth to my entertainment and work. This has been great for me and my significant other, who tends to go to bed early and I can just connect this to our TV and watch or play games without disturbing her. I feel like this product is perfect for those new parents, who want an immersive sound experience, but still want to be able to hear, in case the baby is crying. Or for those who don’t like having earbuds in their ears for long periods of time.
Now, for the part that I was most excited about pairing this with my PlayStation 5. The connection was seamless and straightforward, thanks to the included 3mm audio jack to USB-C and plugging right into your controller for being able to use the built in microphone. Once set up, the audio low latency was virtually non-existent, which is key for gaming. The 360 degree surround sound capabilities brought games like “Warzone” and “Spider-Man 2” to life. Every detail, from the ambient noises of the games were enhanced, making the gaming experience incredibly immersive.
Battery life in the Theater U Wearable is very solid, offering around 12 hours on a full charge, which is more than enough for using it during the day for work calls and then at the end of the day for some gaming or a couple of shows. Charging is straightforward with just unhooking the rubber flap and revealing the USB-C connection, and its Quick charging gives you up to 60 minutes of playback on a 10-minute charge. The controls are intuitively placed,on the left speaker to adjust the volume up or down and then a pause button in between those. Then on the right speaker is the mic mute button and the power and bluetooth pairing button. The ability of also being able to pair this to two devices at once is huge, especially if you are watching a show but you then get a phone call, you can easily switch between the two devices with its multi-point connection, take the call and as soon as you hang up go back to your movie or show.
While the BRAVIA Theater U Wearable TV Speaker is impressive, it’s not without its minor flaws. The price is on the higher side, which might be a deterrent for some. Additionally, while the sound quality is great, it is lacking bass compared to a soundbar or a home theater system. However, given the device’s versatility, portability and convenience, these are minor trade-offs.
Overall, the Sony BRAVIA Theater U Wearable TV Speaker is for those wanting an open ear sound device that can be used in multiple different environments. It offers a unique blend of high-quality audio and portability, enhancing both gaming and movie-watching experiences. If you’re looking for an immersive audio solution that allows you to stay mobile and comfortable, you can’t go wrong with the BRAVIA Theater U Wearable TV Speaker

The first thing I want to say about the Bravia Wearable headphones is WOW I LOVE THEM! I have never owned this style before and wasn’t sure how I’d like them but I am SOOOO sold on these. The sound in all venues is outstanding considering their size. They pair up immediately with whatever I choose to use them with ~ from my iPhone, Sony TV to a very inexpensive BT adapter for an older TV with no Bluetooth. Nothing ever wants to connect to that little adapter but it found this Bravia right away.
The sound just wraps all around you. Incredibly clear with no connection drops whatsoever. It has a very long range as well. I went all the way into my basement (and it’s a good piece away) and the signal was still strong from my living room TV. None of my other devices can accomplish that.
Battery life? EXCEPTIONAL. I literally wore these 13 hours straight from watching TV, on phone calls (which by the way has crystal clear clarity to myself and the caller) and listening to music. They synced up right away to my iMac computer as well. When I finally removed them the battery life was still at 60% and to say I was surprised is an understatement. Very pleased with that feature!
Also noted is how comfortable they are when wearing with the padding on the bottoms and very lightweight. I forget I have them on. So unlike wearing bulky over the ear headphones that hurt my head after 15 minutes or buds that begin to irritate my ears.
I downloaded the phone app and with the HEADPHONE SETTINGS you will see (1) Connected Devices (2) Equalizer (3) Bluetooth Connection Quality (4) Connect to 2 Devices Simultaneously (5) Automatic Power Off and (6) Notification & Voice Guide. Personally I found the settings to be perfect for me right out of the box. The APP SETTINGS are (1) Adaptive Sound Control (2) Activity Settings (3) 360 Reality Audio Setup and Ear Analysis Results ~ yes the app will photograph both your ears to be sure you have the best setup (4) Automatic Download Software Settings and (5) Notification Setting. I have a music channel that offers some of the 360 Spatial tunes but in my personal opinion the Bravia sounds fabulous with or without using it. No need to spend extra money just to get that feature ~ they are fine just as is.
One more thing is my husband is very hard of hearing. When he doesn’t have his hearing aids connected to his phone’s Bluetooth the TV is blasting me out of the house so I decided to have him try these on. Lo and behold he could hear the TV perfectly!! Smiles all around when we discovered that! So they are excellent for those who don’t hear so well too.
Even though the price range might not fit everyone’s budget I’d buy another pair of these in a heartbeat and probably will since the husband wants to use them and so do I. They are just so simple to operate, great size with nicely placed buttons and I honestly don’t know how I managed without them. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED folks! You will not be disappointed!

First of all these are not comfortable, that thin plastic portion is constantly resting on the back of my neck and requires frequent repositioning. Second, literally these are just two speakers, very loud, and anyone sitting next to you will hear everything, but when maxing out sound, then anyone even a rokm away will hear everything. Thirdly, sound is not balanced, there is no surround sound at all, i even tried dolby sound videos, literally just feels like one speak on both sides, and these speakers appear to be trying to hard to push out big sound when in reality they are probably tiny. Fourthly, bass is somewhat there, but it fulky disappears by overly pushed other sounds. I played around with settings in the app, but result is exactly the same. These are not tiny, its like two long bulky speakers resting on each side of my shoulder, additionally they become useless when being in any other position but either sitting or standing straight up. My overall experience of these to sum it up is a product thats not powerful enough but just trying too hard to be simething they are not.

Mainly bought for playing games ,since I dont like to have my ears covered. It would be better if was able to paired wireless with the ps5.
Actually I play multilayer games using a 3.5 wiremic and works fine.
