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.
