Perfection!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome noise-cancelling headphones. Comfortable and the noise cancelling feature is really, really good; I wear these all day at work as the ability to pair to 2 devices simultaneously is a game changer. The recent Sony headphones app update fixed a few issues I was having with Adaptive Sound. They’re perfect!

Pretty Good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like these headphones a lot. Pretty comfortable and light. Nice features and noise cancellation. They do not feel expensive but function like they are. I liked them enough to buy me and my brother a pair. The black pair is low key but the midnight blue pair adds a little touch of color but both are still subtle.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I swear by these headphones. I'm really bad at taking care of things, i've thrown these around so much especially since I work in a warehouse and move around so much they've definitely hit the ground a lot. I needed these because everything is so loud I rather listen to music. Plus they get really dirty so i wipe them cleaned every night and they still work through everything I put them through! The best part is the battery life I always get surprised when they tell me theyre going to die because it seems like I hardly charge them lol. If they ever stop working im pretty sure i'd just but another pair of these.

The Best A/N/C Headphones!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Headphones, I had the 2nd generation and those were already quality headphones and these are still miles better, the notice canceling is top-notch. They are just as good as the Bose 700 which I have tried as well, even more comfortable, and for about 100 dollars left a much much better deal. Sony knows what they're doing!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter wanted one and then I bought one about a week later. Yes they are expensive hence why the best buy credit card came in handy. I have always been a Bose kinda girl and never even tried Sony. EVER! I am not even a fan of the look but I am taking continuing education at the college and I like to study in the campus center and that place is so loud. The students are always yelling and while the amount of people help me stay focused the noise does not. These headphones are amazing they knock out all the noise. The really fun part is when you go to talk the music stops and you can hear the other people without having to remove them

Top of the line Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They have ready great sound. HPs are very customizable for a person's noise cancelling preferences. They are very comfortable to wear. Damien, Store Manager, at Arundel Mills MD store gave me the sale discount because the sale price had ended unbeknownst to me 2 days earlier. So I got a ready great price.

Wouldn’t pay full price for them.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these bad boys on sale for $250.00. ANC is good, took them on a flight to Vegas and significantly reduce the sound of the jet engine however if your expectation is for the to completely eliminate that is unrealistic. Also, doesn’t do a good job canceling peoples voices, so if you getting them to get piece and quite from your family look elsewhere. Audio quality is excellent and plenty of adjustments available via the Sony app.

Exceptional
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned pretty much the previous 2 generations of this and this model is by far the best. It’s lighter, and I love how we can finally connect to 2 devices! Took them long enough. I’ve been a fan of the touch features and being able to hold a hand over the ear cup to let sound in. Now you can enable when you speak for it to stop playing and that’s super convenient but of course can be annoying sometimes too. But I definitely recommend these over any of the other headphones on the market.

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So let me start off with, I returned the headphones. The noise cancelling is awesome and it has some great features. Also, these are very comfortable headphones, although they are very light and can easily be bent. As an audiophile want-a-be, I thought the sound was very good, but not great. I prefer the sound of my Sennheiser M2's although they are not nearly as comfortable. (the Sennheiser M3 is out now for $399). Sound is subjective so try them out first and compare to other products.

Comfortable, clear sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a lot of Sony products and they are generally good. These are no exception and I love it that they have great sound and are comfortable, so can be worn for long stretches. They seldom lose connection but when they do, they connect back quickly. No complaints.
