Sony wireless “in ear” headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are great. However, this is for all noise cancelling headphones, the technology is simply not there yet. No headphones can provide complete noise cancellation.

Charging case
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has the best sound quality, however, I did not like the size and how hard it is to take it off the case. There simply is not enough grip to take it out of the charging case. You have to try it to understand what I am talking about.

they are a headphone option
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is very good. The sound is quite good and the UI has improved a bit. I also have the WF1000XM4 and those are more comfortable by far, these hurt my ears after an hour or so (I could wear the XM4s all day). The newer headphone do not sit in their case easily, the old generation snapped into the charging case very nicely. There is no improvement to the Bluetooth connection or range, in fact it seems worse. Over the improvements do not outweigh the negatives of the newer model (which only lasted me about a year). More planned obsolescence trash unfortunately.
