Not bad but way too expensive; not what i expected
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I give these headphones a 3.5 in rating. I only got them because i kept hearing that the bass is better than the bose qc 35 but they aren't, not by a longshot. I tested it with several songs and the qc 35s sound way better. Which was disappointing because of how expensive these headphones were. Also i did not like the touch sensor or the voice control. The touching sensor is very sensitive; the slightest little bump and your music cuts off. And it took me forever to figure out how to cutoff the voice control. Everytime i sang or talked out loud the music stopped. So it isn't very user friendly if you're new to sony. Overall i returned it 2 days later and im happy i didn't get rid of my qc 35s just yet.

Nice headphones with one improvement needed.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality. One improvement would be to make the ear cups a little deeper. My left ear lobe just barely touches inside. I don’t have this problem with Bose headphones.
