    My granddaughter loves them. She actually uses these more often than her Apple AirPods. She said she is going to use only her headphones when we go on vacation.

      Hi HeadphoneGuy99,

      We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you haven't had an easy time connecting devices. When you pair the headset with a device for the first time after you bought it or after you initialized the headset (the headset has no pairing information). The headset enters pairing mode automatically. When you pair a second or subsequent device (the headset has pairing information for other devices), press and hold the (power) button for about 7 seconds.

      For more information, please refer to this link:

      Hope this helps. Thanks for choosing Sony!

    I got this headset to reduce the noise around me, (kids in the background playing, loud neighbors) while studying. It did its job. Excellent noise reduction technology. I would recommend to anyone who wants to block out noise while studying or watching favorite movie, etc.
