    My husband loves these. Only bad part is he can't wear them working out, but that's more of a personal preference.

      Hi ggrund, while we are glad that you like the headphones, we regret that it had to be swapped due to the size. Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. If you haven’t already you should check out the Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. This will give you more control over your headphones and their performance. Thanks for choosing Sony! Erin Sony_US

    Great noise cancelling and good sound however the "ear suck" was too much for me. I couldn't wear them longer than an hour and the discomfort continued for three more hours afterwards. I had to return them. The ear suck is typical for noise cancelling headphones and feels like pressure on your ear drum. The app calibration didn't help.

    Great headphones, good sound and noise cancellation. Headphones developed a popping in the left earcup. It only does it in a louder environment under full NC. Going to return for a new pair, hopefully they wont do it! Less then a month old

    Ssooo... I had the XM2s but decided to upgrade when these were released... worst decision ever because somethings have changed... these don't recognize when I'm trying to swipe to the next song or stop the music as quickly... theres a beeping sound when I use the instant volume down feature... and the sound quality seems forced... don't get me wrong... if you never had the XM2s you will love these... they are Sonys so the quality is there... unfortunately the functionality is lacking so my upgrade has been a real disappointment... so much so that I'm thinking of switching brands and I'm a Sony loyalist... but Sony really ruined a great thing...

    However, if you want to use it for wireless calling you'll hear lots of background noise on both ends.

    Signal kept dropping

    I did quite a bit of research before buying these and the reviews were mostly quite strong. I will say the noise cancelling was excellent. However, my bluetooth signal kept dropping. Obviously a major problem, Additionally, each time I toggled between settings on the headphones for ambient noise, noise cancelling, etc, the delay between switching and the programmed voice telling me which mode into which it was going, was too long. If I did this during calls it cause me to miss part of the discussion, which is also an issue. Returned and picked up a pair of my prior headphones - Beats Studio Wireless. They work great, look great and are super comfortable. Oh - and they are reliable. Something I cannot say about the Sony WH-1000XM3

    Headphones stopped working a little bit after the 1 year warranty ended. Best Buy wouldn’t do anything to assist. Avoid these headphones at all costs. The newer model has even more issues.
