    These are not as expected. After spending sometime with them I returned them. Although the speaker and sound are the best. But in my opinion, at least the ones I owned the software had issues

    The sound is fantastic and the app is easy to use. However, I had to return them because they were constantly connecting to my phone even when in the case with the lid closed. Very frustrating.

      Hi Derick,

      We're glad that you like the sound quality and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you had connectivity issue with the earbuds. For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony app). Both earbuds must placed correctly on the charging case. Each headset unit will be set to the correct position in the charging case by the built-in magnet. Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue.

      Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

    The noise cancelling on these is terrible. I had the previous version and there was zero outside noise unless you selected ambient noise. This version doesn't block all of the ambiet noise, it rather supresses it.
