Good for non iOS
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling and transparency mode are good. However, pairing to iOS and MacOS devices is a pain. Would recommend to non-Apple users.

Everything you excepted
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound and noise cancellation. Only down fall I have is the size of the ear piece because I have big ears and they get fatigued after a few hours of use.

We appreciate your feedback about the comfort of the headphones. Make sure to adjust the headband for optimum fit and comfort. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your review and for choosing Sony!
