Newly found love
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the noise canceling and ambient option when someone is speaking to you. The side of the headphones is a control panel and it is super easy to use! The battery life also last a while and I’m a frequent user. If you’re looking for something loud with quality? These are it! Note: just turn the speak option off if you’re a singer because your headphones will think your talking to someone

Sleek, robust and awesome where it matters
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this headphone for a while now. It is simply the best for noise canceling and has a sleeker look than even XM5 for me. It is robust and charges very fast and lasts a long time. The multi-device connection is not the best though and sometimes the touch gestures are interpreted in the wrong way. But overall greate product.

Good purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life is amazing and weight is very light, however the bass and volume are a little disappointing. It has a very clear sound and was a good purchase, hopefully they update with more volume and bass. More bass would be a great thing if volume is maxed.

Very comfortable headset even with glasses on!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read several reviews on these and I was debating between these and the AirPods Pro for noice cancelling headphones. The in ear and convenience of the AirPods is more my style but the 4hr battery life was the main reason I went with these. These are by far the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. I wear glasses and these do not hurt whatsoever even after several hours of use with my glasses on. The noise cancelling is amazing and makes you appreciate having that feature. I can’t imagine going back to regular AirPods after using this headset. Absolutely incredible and I 100% recommend these!

Best Headphones of 2025
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These head phones sound good and look good. I also purchased the XM 5’s but like these better. I primarily use them for the gym. They fit better and fold unlike the XM 5’s. If you’re looking for headphones that you can wear for long periods of time. These are the ones!

better sound then xm3
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Download Sony Headphone Connect App, open box, turn on headphones (bottom of left headphone on/off switch), using Sony Connect App, connect and paired new headphones. - My headphones were 100% charged out of box. - Many features in Sony Connect App, matter of your preference and use. I do think the app is solid and useful for my use of these headphones. - My headphones firmware updated automatically -be patient, process took several minutes. Initial impression; very comfortable, really good noise canceling and sound quality.

Excellent premium headphones

Effective noise canceling on plane/in airport, in car/bus, etc. Super comfy to wear, no sore spots or extra sweat even after hours. Love these headphones and thus far totally worth the price!!

Expect Sony Sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling is great. Not quite as loud as I would like them to be but overall sound is very good. Construction is not quite as robust as I thought they would be. Great value compared to competition.

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!

Wish they were smaller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really loved the sound on these. Bought them for the primary purpose of enjoying my music more but fell in love with the ANC. The connection to 2 devices was really nice too. Wanted to keep them but they were unfortunately a little too big and would slip off my head if I tilted my head forward/backward or tried to work out
