    Can I plug my own 3.5mm headphones into this instead?

    • zhuntai on 13/10/2019 - 23:15

      Looking at reviews I believe you can use any 3.5mm headphone/cable. I have a very old version (SBH50) and it serves me well. Used it as a headphone connector and also a bluetooth receiver for a stereo. I found the screen on that one helpful for navigating settings and such - not sure how this one will go without any screen.

    • twocsies on 13/10/2019 - 23:16

      It has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

      A set of wired headphones that support the CTIA standard is included with your headset at
      purchase. You can use other headphones but some may not work properly with your
      headset. https://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/sbh56/userguide…

    • thebadmachine on 14/10/2019 - 10:46

      Technically yes you could, but I would think you will get abysmal battery-life due to the lack of power & short battery-life the device has to begin with.

      According to Sony Global; Talk time: 7 Hours, Music time: 6 Hours, when driving the included earphones.
      So driving full-sized headphones you may only get 1-2 hours battery life.

          Ahha, did you find out what it was? I still don't get what it is, is it to make your wired headphones wireless?

          • thebadmachine on 14/10/2019 - 10:48

            @zorrt:

            is it to make your wired headphones wireless?

            Basically yes. But the battery-life is terrible (6 hours) compared to a Sony BT earphone with everything built-in (15 hours).

            • lostn on 14/10/2019 - 14:16

              @thebadmachine: Not sure why you would want to do that instead of plugging it straight in, unless it's a phone with no headphone jack I guess.

              That would make me sad. You buy a phone because it's cool to not have a jack these days, only so that you have to buy an accessory to continue using your 3.5mm headphones.

              • thebadmachine on 14/10/2019 - 14:51

                @lostn: I guess it’s for the convenience of having the phone ‘wire-free’ when you pull it out of your pocket, and as this comment below said, you can still pick & choose your own desired sounding earphones.

                • lostn on 14/10/2019 - 14:56

                  @thebadmachine: no matter how good your headphones are, they are going to run via BT codec and won't sound as good or as stable.

                  • thebadmachine on 14/10/2019 - 15:00

                    @lostn: Yes I agree, I am a wired only person myself. But it seems majority of consumers (and ozbargainers) are satisfied with BT audio.

                    And key-word ‘earphones’, I doubt the SBH56 will be able to drive full-size over-ear headphones properly, and even if they can drive some I imagine the battery-life will take a huge hit.

                    • lostn on 14/10/2019 - 16:38

                      @thebadmachine: I have a pair of $200+ quad driver in-ears. They're going to sound worse through this than plugging it in directly. I get that some people don't mind BT and some even prefer the convenience. But it baffles me that you would want to use BT via a pair of earphones (probably cheap ones at that). You lose the direct audio, but you still have the wires, so the worst of both worlds. I imagine those people would prefer a real pair of wireless earphones since they tend to hate wires but would still have to deal with them.

                      • thebadmachine on 14/10/2019 - 16:53

                        @lostn:

                        I imagine those people would prefer a real pair of wireless earphones

                        Yeah I guess you’re right here. I think there is a potential for ‘in-betweeners’ who have their own preferred earphones etc.
                        The design of the SBH56 in this deal though is a short J cable, and the device is meant to clip onto your shirt collar (has the microphones as well which would be of little use in your pocket).
                        So design wise it is quite similar to the all-in-one BT earphones (sans the battery-life).
                        So a bit of a niche compromise (sacrifice battery-life to be able to use your own earphones).

                        I think the product has a lack of popularity / sales, and info seems to be only available on the ‘Sony Global’ page so I suspect it was marketed in another country and sales were slow so they are just offloading stock.

    Just for anyone wondering, MH755 are easily one of the best earphones under $200. I own a modded pair and they're not far off some $500 IEMs even.

    • Make it so on 13/10/2019 - 23:22

      They seem about $13 on eBay.

      Yea they're pretty hyped on /r/headphones right now. Not quite sure they're that good sonically; apparently the Tin Audio T2s are still better but those are $50 AUD compared to $7 AUD here apparently genuine from an Aussie Pretty no brainer for 7 bucks just note cable is garbage.

      • desktopzero on 14/10/2019 - 00:32

        Yeah cable is almost useless, so it requires a new cable modded in. I’ve tried the T2 and the T3, and I’d say the MH755 is better.

        • lostn on 14/10/2019 - 14:18

          What's wrong with the cable? Is it just length? I prefer a shorter cable because I only end up tying them up with a ziptie anyway.

          • desktopzero on 15/10/2019 - 18:11

            @lostn: The length is very short, I'd say it's only around half the length of a normal cable. One side is also longer than the other side.

      • cmdbash on 14/10/2019 - 01:23

        Yeah sounds amazing, but any movement all the great sound is muffled by cable noise, which is inevitable because the cable is extremely short.

        Ordered from simplecom last week and received today..appears to be genuine based on the sound, will know for sure when I open them to recable. Few dollars more than my last pair from AliExpress but postage within a week is worth the extra (almost two months from china)

          Don't use it for that. Purely for allowing me to use my wired earphones/headphones on my Pixel 2.

    Like others say, the say quality on these are legendary for the price. Check Crinacle, one of my most respected IEM reviews online, review of it https://crinacle.com/2019/02/02/sonys-greatest-accident-the-…. The B rank he gives it puts it the price range of competitors of 200USD+. Be warned as they are made for use with the bluetooth headset, the cable is short and uneven in length, with it meant to go behind the neck.

        • thebadmachine on 14/10/2019 - 16:01

          A few other features of the SBH54 is ‘splash-proof’ design and noise-cancellation on the microphone (further isolates your voice).
          It also has 8 hours listening time, +2 hours compared to the SBH56, and charges in 1 hour compared to the 2 hours it takes for SBH56.

    Really nice sounding earphones, similar to my Tin T2 but slightly more sub bass - although I find the T2 to already have enough bass when amped (some people would disagree). I picked up a legit pair on AliExpress for $4.50 but the seller no longer has stock (beware of fakes). Black ones are more commonly fakes, so go for white instead or purchase this deal to ensure you get genuine MH755s. Definitely worth the effort to recable or mmcx mod them to remove the silly and short J cord it comes with

      • thebadmachine on 14/10/2019 - 10:56

        Yes my thought is at $25 maybe it would serve well as just a ‘remote for the camera shutter’ for mommy’s and pappi’s (or grandma & grandpa), the battery-life would be acceptable for this purpose.
        And maybe the occasional ‘hands-free’ phone call. Having it clip-on to their shirt also helps here.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/10/2019 - 11:05

            My mother has one of those cheap ‘shutter remotes’ from a tripod, there are plenty times it refuses to auto-connect and you have to tap on it in ‘Bluetooth devices’.

                The features & specs of the SBH56 are good (BT 4.0 / HD voice / USB-C). All except the battery-life (Music Playback: 6 Hours) which would last half-a-day, compared to a full-day comfortably.

      Yes noteable is it has HD voice & the same BT codecs as Sony’s conventional BT earphones range.

      Also worth noting is the battery-life is less-than-half the life (Music Playback: 6 hours) from what I get from my conventional Sony WI-C310 (Music Playback: 15 hours), which I managed to get for under $30 during JB HiFi’s Sony headphone sale + $10 Receipt Voucher deal.

        and that one you can use, while charging.

        it also had a switch, to turn it into a transmitter or a receiver,
        so if you had 2 of them, you can set up a small wireless set-up (but a lot things nowadays have Bluetooth now anyway).

    I don’t quite understand the point of this product in this day and age. If your device is Bluetooth compatible, why not just buy some Bluetooth cans and be wire free, or is the point that you can use any wired headphones you may have at your disposal?

      You're in good company, given you're in mine.

      Most cheap Bluetooth earphones give pretty crap audio, this lets you use some nice budget wired ones I guess. Sub $100 and even sub $40 Chifi products are really amazing value

      this. The transmitter is supposed to outlast junk bundled buds you get in all-in-one. I use MW600 with Shure 215.

        If only Sony matched the battery-life of their entry-level WI-C200 / WI-C310 models @ 15 Hours.
        From the pictures of SBH56 it seems they could have fit a battery of equal size / capacity.

          Say again, what do you want for $25?
