Posted .Hi HeadphoneGuy99,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you haven't had an easy time connecting devices. When you pair the headset with a device for the first time after you bought it or after you initialized the headset (the headset has no pairing information). The headset enters pairing mode automatically. When you pair a second or subsequent device (the headset has pairing information for other devices), press and hold the (power) button for about 7 seconds.
For more information, please refer to this link:

Must Have
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this headset to reduce the noise around me, (kids in the background playing, loud neighbors) while studying. It did its job. Excellent noise reduction technology. I would recommend to anyone who wants to block out noise while studying or watching favorite movie, etc.

SONY is noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased a new riding lawnmower and needed ear protection. We were set on the Bose headphones but when talking to the Best Buy expert decided Sony were the brand for us. Work great and super easy to use.

Creaking/popping noise
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are very good. I love the sound and the noise cancelling is top notch. My main issue with my unit is the left earcup/band makes some kind of subtle creaking sound/popping noise whenever i move my head. It is quite distracting when I am trying to listen to music. I expected better quality control considering this is a $350 headset.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really excited to own these and finally came across the opportunity to purchase them. I use them for a week, but constantly found that my right ear tip would hurt. I did some more research online and found that this is a very common problem. I also did not like how sweaty my ears and sides of my head would get when I used them outdoors it made me feel uncomfortable, especially around other people. I feel that this would be a great product if Sony would just fix the ear cushions. I ended up buying AirPod Max’s instead.
