Sony headphones review
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love love love these headphones. The better life is amazing, I only have to charge them once a week. The noise canceling is top notch you don’t even need the volume to be turned up that loud for it to kick in and I just love the design of them

Best daily drivers
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony Headphones don’t disappoint thus far. I have never had more comfortable daily headphones. For those of us who aren’t audiophiles… well we won’t notice a difference between these the Bose, Beats, or even Skull Candy headphones. However, when you’re working remote and have these for over 8hrs a day these are the best for comfort and have good sound quality and noise cancelling.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first pair of Sony headphones. Very good to listen casually. I do workout in these from time to time and they are still holding up. Just gotta make sure to wipe it down since it can get very sweaty and wet. I guess if you want it to last longer then i recommend not working out in them. The cups themselves are very very soft and comfortable. I know that when getting helix piercings you shouldnt wear over-the-ears headphone, but i still wore these a week after I got my helix, I cant go without music in public and i hate playing music thru my phone speakers. It didnt irritate my piercings for at least 2-3 hours, which im surprised because my hyperx headphones hurts but these dont.

Great quality and features
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality (once you customize in the app - Not great out of the box). Excellent Noise cancellation Nice range, nice battery life, great features, better than Bose 700 headphones. But, my requirement was to connect to three devices and two at the same time (ipad and iphone) and want to switch seamlessly when a call comes while watching movie in ipad. Sony WH-1000XM4 doesn't do that (Bose 700 does that well). So, I had to return it. I tried Bose Studio 3, which is not even comparable to this Sony in noise cancellation. I am sticking with my Bose

Beyond Impressive
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Started enjoying right out of the box. Have owned Bose noise cancelling, JLab in ear, Apple wired and in-ear wireless. When it comes to hearing all the nuances of just music, these are hands down my fave. So many options that it takes a little time to learn all it will do. Gotta tackle dealing with "Alexa" smart home devices next. My first time with a Sony product and looking forward to many more. Long life between charges - a huge plus. Don't buy anything until you try these. Highly recommend them.

Love them, but they are too big for my head
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really really love the sound of these, the features, the noise cancelling, everything. The only issue is my head might be a little too small because the end up being held up by my ears and that grts uncomfy. Trying to see if I can make them work or if I need to take them back and try to find some that adjust a bit smaller to my head. Ive had to put a sock underneath the headband part so it doesnt hurt my ears, they are super comfortable when they sit right though!

The best choice for over-the-ear Noise-Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headphones, the reason I went with this brand and model is a recommendation from my son, as he has a pair. He was not wrong, they are comfortable to wear, play sounds precisely, and the noise cancelling is absolutely perfect! When I use noise-cancelling its like I've been transported to a quiet zone made just for me.

These headphones rock!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time spending a moderate amount of money on some good audio quality headphones. The connectivity is great and easily interchangeable with all your devices witch was a huge plus for me to be able to switch between my PC and phone. It will automatically switch for you if hooked up properly. I was really curious about where noise cancelling headphone tech was and this was a great example. Almost all ambient noise is blocked out from these especially if the ambient noise is from a distance. The closer it is the more easily it will still be picked up which is great if someone is trying to talk near you, you will still hear them unless the volume is completely blasted. Having kids these help out great for when they are watching tv or playing and having fun and instead of being frustrated i can still enjoy my content. I do not have a lot of other headphones to compare these to but the sound quality far exceeds any headphones I had prior even earbuds. They have extremely punchy and strong sound. You can get them to your desired genre preference using the app it comes with, Amazing high quality headphones at a reasonable price.

We also appreciate you mentioning the voice control setting. It sounds like you encountered the Speak-to-Chat feature, which is designed to automatically pause music for quick conversations.

Gamers choice real 3D audio for VR and online FPS
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're like me and you want headphones that have real 3D space audio for video gaming look no further. Before buying these I tested a few other wireless headsets but I can say that only these accurately depicted where enemies were coming from. Also these headphones are amazing for using with the Meta Quest 2 via bluetooth. You'll be even more immersed in whatever you're doing in VR with the rich audio quality and deep bass these provide. I love them and I'm sure you will too.

Buy, dont wait
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are very good quality! I even use them for gaming on the playstation sometimes becasue of the bass. I really like that these are noise cancelling, but also let you have the option to hear your surroundings. I wouldnt purchase them if you work out becasue they are not water proof and not really for sweating. I should of bought these sooner tbh.. Highly reccomend them, also got them on sale. Oh and the app for these headphones could be better but they constanly update it so its not an issue so much

Great so far
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm by no means an audiophile, but I think they sound as good if not better than Bose QuietComfort IIs. The deciding factor, though was the battery life. They advertise 30 hours, and I've found it to be a bit conservative. At medium volume I'm able to get 32-35 hours per charge. The call quality is also very good. I work in some noisy areas and according to the folks I'm talking to the audio quality is quite good. Better than my plantronics voyager. These are pretty expensive, but if the battery life holds up it'll be worth every penny

Great just. It for me.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have them a 5 even though I returned them. Let me explain. They sound freakin amazing and the features are awesome. Again the sound quality is probably the best out there and I have tested Bose 35 and Beats 3. Of the 3 I kept the Beats. They get louder and the base is outstanding. With that being said the Sony sound crisp and clear. They don’t get as loud but they do out out the sound. It has a EQ which is nice but not that big of a deal to me. You won’t go wrong with the Sony but if you want a louder set go with the Beats.
