One of the better ones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty decent sound. Noise cancelling not at good as some, but better than most. Due to style, seem to be a little too heavy and come loose in ears.

Posted .Hi Marcus37,
We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were not satisfied with the sound quality. For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Additionally, the app's equalizer function allows you to tailor-fit the sound quality depending on your needs.
Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

One of the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While these may lack the bottom end of the XM4, they more than make up for it in being extremely clean and a lot better fitting in my opinion. An excellent choice for those looking to upgrade from the AirPod Pros

Posted .Hi ThomasK,
Thank you for the review and we're glad to hear that you like the sound quality of the headphones. We do apologize for the inconvenience. The bass sound quality will depend in the source that you're playing. When the source does not contain much of bass sound, the bass sound may not be audible. We recommend using the Sony headphones connect app to adjust audio settings depending in your preference for better audio experience.
