Gets The Job Done
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my favorite headphones that I have purchased. They are better than the Bose headphones I had. Sony 360 Is still limited but the headphones work great with Apple Music and Tidal. Tidal sounds the best with these headphones.

Very low volume, good noise cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise cancellation, thats about what I liked. Other than that the volume is low, you have to raise it all the way to be at a decent level, and i just used them to workout. For the price very low volume. I dont return them because im in south america and will be here for a while so im stuck with them

Best Wireless Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to be obsessed with Beats. I had the Solo 2 & 3 and Studios 2 & 3. However, I tested these Sony recently and I am never going back to buy any new Beats ever again! These headphones are much better and I think these are the best at the moment.

Pretty good, but could use improvements
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad for my first pair of noise-canceling headphones. They are definitely a must for working from home. They're comfortable and do a good job of canceling out low- and mid-range ambient sound. But high-octave ambient sound is still fairly audible even with noise canceling turned on. All in all though, they suit my current needs, so I'm not upset with this purchase.
