Good for the money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its very efficient and the noise cancellation is top notch. Its little bit cheaper than Bose. Might not be comparable to Bose quiet comfort but its worth the money

Great upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent upgrade from the prior model. Better noise cancelling, smaller and more fitted to the ear, and the same amazing sound you would expect from a pair of Sony ear buds.

An improvement over the prior version

Pricey - but very probably worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I have ever used in terms of sound quality and noise cancellation. Whether I listening to music or watching a movie the sound is excellent. Using them on an airplane, the noise cancellation was excellent it reduces the sound of the aircraft to a nearly inaudible buzz. My one and only complaint is the fit of these earbuds. I think the most comfortable earbuds I've ever bought were jaybird, but their most recent entry into earbuds had some inexcusable issues. If Sony would improve the comfort and fit of their earbuds this would be the best earbud on the planet. I'm still giving these earbuds five stars because after a month of using these earbuds I've gotten used to the way they fit. I still think the fit could be better, but these fit passably well.
I would recommend this to a friendNo more bose.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing product. I switched from bose qcii earbuds to these. Too good of sound quality. The battery life goes on and on. Sony stole me from bose.

Overall Decent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The buds seal great against my ear so I hardly use the noise cancelling and the long battery life is a plus. I usually get about 7-8hrs at a low-medium volume with no noise cancellation/ pass through.

Posted .Hello M3tr0d0b3b00min,
We're delighted to hear that the earbuds seal well and that you appreciate the long battery life. It's fantastic that you are getting 7–8 hours of use at a low-medium volume without noise cancellation or pass-through. You can control the noise-cancelling settings via the touch sensor on the left earbud or through the Sony | Headphones Connect app, which allows you to toggle between noise-cancelling modes and ambient sound modes according to your preference. This feature could be particularly beneficial in noisy environments to enhance your listening experience. Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
-Fred
