good but not good for video calls
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Active noise canceling is very good, it reduces the background to a great extent. can't wear for more than 2 hours at a stretch as it starts hurting my ear and head, unless I take it off for a second and put it back. not a right product for people like me taking zoom / webex / teams calls all day long. Missing the following features which is expected in expensive gadgets like this one. - Can't mute my zoom call from the headphone unit - it can't cut the background noise for people on the other end of my meetings - there is little lag in voice transfer when I speak on zoom meeting - when it is connected to laptop (windows 10) and iPhone, sometimes it disconnects my zoom audio on its own while i'm talking, not sure if this is messing up speak to chat feature. - when connected to conf. call from phone and tap on play/pause button, it kicks me out of the meeting. may be this is just built for music lovers in mind. heading to return this back.

Posted .Hi Hassan,
We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate you are already looking to return the headphones because of their comfort and call quality.
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.
It is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Hope the steps above improve your experience. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.

Best Headphones out there!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been using it everyday since I bought it. Best feature for me aside from the noise-cancelling and obviously the sound quality is that you can connect 2 devices at once.

Good in most areas
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use these headphones daily, battery life could be better but I do use it a-lot. Speak to chat is probably the worst feature as it turns on by itself or is sensitive (eg. touching the pillow) but music quality is amazing.
