The EX750BT (not to be confused with EX750NA which is a wired earphones with noise-cancelling, or the EX750AP which is a wired earphones with in-line mic) is a thick neckband with thin cables leading to the 2 earbuds. Similar to the SBH70 and SBH80, it’s a design that really works well for me. Such neckband headsets allows me to wear them around my neck the entire day, and unlike conventional wireless headset, I can choose to wear just one earbuds and the headset does not slip off towards the other earbud. Unlike the SBH-series, the EX750BT does not vibrate for incoming calls.
I like that the EX750BT looks like a simple U-shaped tube without any outlandish shape and form like the previous models. I also liked that there are only 3 hardware buttons to navigate. The buttons are positioned to face your neck, such that when you reach for them with your left hand, your index finger naturally touches them without twisting your wrist.
Another thing I love about the EX750BT is that it comes with a USB-to-3.5mm cable. This is probably the first in-ear headphones I have seen that has wired option, which allows you to enjoy Hi-Res audio on the EX750BT. Upon plugging in, the headset power will be turned off and audio will be channeled directly. The 3 hardware buttons and the mic will not work.

There is also one other detail that Sony has put in: a cable management clip that snaps both earbud cables together so that they do not dangle all over the place when you wear it. And like all Sony wireless products, you can pair using NFC.
I tried wearing it for a run, and while it wasn’t uncomfortable, I felt that the neckband jiggles and did not rest firmly on my shoulder, unlike other models like the LG TONE models. Still, if you only have one set of headsets, it seems perfectly fine to use it for runs, especially when there isn’t much foot thumping sounds. There was no mention about any water resistance rating, but a little sweat won’t kill it, since there are no exposed components.
