Amazing headphones, never want to take them off
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far the best headphones I’ve ever owned. Incredibly comfortable, you have to put these on to truly understand how amazingly soft they are. easy to adjust volume and change tracks, talking on the phone or to someone around you is crisp and clear. These are my go to whenever I’m at home and working around the house or on my cars.

best over the ear headphones I've ever had
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best over the ear headphones I have used, worth the cost. Easy to wear for hours, excellent sound and excellent noise cancellation as well. I have an in-the-ear-canal set of Etymotics (ER4) with ear molds that are also excellent, but after an hour or two they start to irritate me. This headset is light and no irritation.

Amazing Headphones for the price on Sale
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from beats Solo 3, better sound and ANC is pretty cool couldn't hear my fan running in my room. Easy to pair with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The ear cushion area does get a bit warm but its still nice and conformable than the Solo 3 (It was very tight and couldn't where them for a long time.) $249 was the price when I bought these.

Very pleased with these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is good, I am partial to Sony tuning. Microphone works on calls, but listeners tell me noises around me are amplified. I find wind noise while outside is distracting a bit to me. My first pair of nose canceling cans, I'm impressed by the technology. The connectivity is phenomenal, very easy, works every time no problem with my android phone.

Hurt my head
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are pretty good. Good sound quality, work well with teams, etc. I returned them because of the fit. I wear headphones all day for work and these caused pain on the top of my head due to the shape. I don’t get this with the Bose quiet comfort or hyperx gaming headset.

Thanks again for taking the time to let us know how it went and for considering Sony products.

Best NC Headphones I've Used
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these on sale for $275 (down from $350) and am very, very happy with them. They ranked as good or better than both Bose and Apple AirPods Max in many, many comparisons and - even at full price - are the cheapest of the 3. The noise cancelling truly is next level. They sound amazing as well. A really immersive experience. You can fine tune the sound to your liking via an equalizer that you control from the included Sony app. There are lots of other bells, whistles and gadgets - adaptive noise cancellation (NC adjust automatically based on your environment) and Sony's proprietary 360 degree sound codec. The codec is nifty and sounds amazing but is only available on three premium music services (Deezer, Tidal & Amazon HD) and kept behind an expensive paywall on all of them. To be honest - ALL music sounds just great on these. Your mileage may vary as to if this is something that you HAVE to have. I probably won't be renewing the free 3 month Deezer trial that comes with the cans. The MAIN showcase here are the noise cancelling and sound quality which are both top grade. You could take away the other stuff and these would still be worth the price point.

Great Headphones with
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is so good lasts almost 2 weeks with my usage of almost 2 hours daily. Noise cancelling is amazing but it reduces battery life a bit. Sound quality is not too bad as well. NFC pairing is always good to have. I do not use the google assistant feature, as I prefer to map the touch controls for volume and ambient control
