Best Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the XM3s and these are an improvement on those. Noise cancelling, sound quality, and comfort are better. Bluetooth 5.0 is so fast I don’t see any lip syncing issues when using with my PC or Apple devices. Very satisfied!

Easy to wear for extended periods of time. The noise canceling is top notch. Ambient sound is okay but could be better in my opinion. Call quality is great as well.

Better than Bose QC 35
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little better than my previous Bose QC 35 headphones- which I rank very highly. Amazing noise cancelling technology and an auto-stop feature when you remove the headphones make these worth the price.

Can't Believe My Ears
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned a countless number of headphone over the years. My favorite has always been Bose Quiet Comfort, so I was somewhat skeptical about buying Sony. I am soooo glad I did, These are by far the best sounding headphones I've ever owned or heard. If you use any of the lossless HD streaming services, like Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music, or Amazon Unlimited, you will be amazed at the quality of the sound. Noise canceling is superb and offers features to quickly interrupt it when needed (just place your palm over the right earphone). Only drawback for me is ear pads can get a little sticky after prolonged listening. These are new best in class bluetooth, ANC headhones, IMO.

Great update to the XM2s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to these new headphones after a few years waiting from the XM2s. I can speak to a few changes based on those old headphones. For me the headband is no longer made of metal but plastic. This isn’t a bad change since it’s lighter on the head but it’s noticeable. The 2nd is the multi connection which is great as I don’t have to disconnect and reconnect to every other device I want to connect to now. The 3rd is the usb c charging port instead of the old micro charger. This makes the one cable to charge all devices closer as I can charge my computer, headphones and other devices now with one cable. The noise canceling and music sound quality is still top-notch and overall I recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a great all around pair of ANC headphones.

Sony head set

The noise cancelling worked very well, battery lasted the entire trip. It comes in a very nice compact case making it easy to put in my carry-on bag. It comes with a USB cable for recharging and a audio cable if you don't want to use Bluetooth. The sound quality is good.

Amazing noise cancellation!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing noise cancellation! I bought these for 4th of July because I’m sensitive to sounds & prone to panic attacks and these were so helpful with getting through firework shows!! Works better with constant sounds over sudden sounds given the technology but overall It did great to muffle the blasts! The noise cancellation can also be adjusted to hear more/less ambient noise in the app for different situations. Also offers high quality sound for music and the app and ear touch pad is very easy to use and helpful! I’ve only had a few issues connecting the Bluetooth to my laptop but it seems to only effect some apps(might be my computer issue) there is also a headphone cord to connect with if needed.

Great if you can pick it up on sale
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.excellent sound quality and probably the best noise-cancelling HPs I ever tried. I think Bose comes second to this because Sony's sound profile is crispy and dynamic compared to Bose's. One downside is the transparency mode. It's not as good as my AirPods Pros and I can hear the wind through it sometimes.
