improved on an already solid version 2
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good: - sound quality - Ultimately the single most important criteria for most people when shopping for headphones I would imagine. The sound signature for the 3rd version of these isn’t substantially different from previous ones, but to my ear sounds more refined. Vocals (and mids in general) are a bit more balanced and cleaner than previous versions, which were already pretty good to start with (if nowhere near neutral). While they may not compete with “audiophile” headphones, these are the best i’ve heard in the ANC category, hands down. - noise cancelling - I haven’t used these on a plane just yet, but so far i have been quite impressed with not only the ANC but the ambient modes as well. Basically you get more control over what you want and don’t want to hear. For some, this may not be all that important, but for others it may be game changing. The feature most important for me in this area is still the “quick pause” of music and ANC, by holding your right hand over the cup. I absolutely love this feature, especially for catching that announcement at the airport or a quick interjection from someone. - design - These are slimmer and fit closer to the head than earlier models. They also swapped out the textured surface for a smooth finish, which helps in the accuracy of the swipe control motions. Same solid build quality as earlier models as well. - comfort - Previous versions were already comfortable, but these have actually surpassed Bose as winners in that area for me. Lighter, better padding on the top of the head, and bigger / softer ear cushions than the second version. - battery - Substantially improved battery life, rated at 30 hours. Nothing else in this class comes close to it. Over a few days of my testing, I've not even hit 50% battery remaining yet. - case - Nice hard case included, along with USB C cable, analog cable, and airplane adapter. - USB C charging. - Multiple microphones for better call quality. bad: - no multi device pairing overall: The only downside for these to me is the single device limitation when pairing. Bose still has Sony beat here, where you can say, pair your phone and your laptop, making it really fast and easy to switch back and forth. Aside from that small detraction, these are an easy 5 stars for me. Excellent sound quality, comfort, ANC, and feature set.

No competition
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried both these and the Bose Quiete Comfort II. The Bose don’t even come close to the sound quality. Both are equal on noise cancellation but the sound quality on these are far superior!

Fantastic Fit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love them and works much better than my Bose NC earbuds. I do get lost in the NC "world" when on planes because they work so well. Downside, is they are bulky to carry around when travelling.
