Great pair of headphones for everyday listening!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading countless reviews for various headphone brands I determined that the Sonys were for me. The set up and charging was simple and I have no issues since purchasing them. The soundproofing is crazy good. For comparison, I use video editing headphones for work - so these Sony headphones absolutely work for daily casual music listening. I’ve recommended these to my friends and they have been thrilled with them as well. Only complaint was that it took a while to track down a pair of these headphones in this color.
