Currently, these are the best I've used
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried various models/brands of noise cancelling headphones, and these are the best overall. The NC works really well, the audio is really good, including bass delivery without crushing the mids. I think these are a bit better than the v3 in sound, and maybe a little in NC, but the differences are not huge. These seem to have less of a plastic "creak" when handling than the v3.

Favorite Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first pair of headphones and I love them so much! The noise canceling feature is super nice to have especially whenever I'm in a noisy environment and I'm able to hear more of the bass out of my songs than I've ever heard before. I use these almost daily and I can't get enough of these headphones!

Fantastic Headphones worth every penny.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am 80% deaf and am not able to read the fine print any longer. I listen to audible books, these headphones are the answer to transient sounds leaking around the seals of the ear muffs. I am extremely satisfied with these headphones, words cannot express my appreciation of these very comfortable and hearable headsets.

Love. Love.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these. So quiet. Salina quality is good. Blocks out family noises. Especially since we are all home during pandemic. I love that I can touch one speaker and it will mute the music and I can say hi to someone quickly and then when I let go the music resumes. I don’t have to find phone and stop music or take them off. What a great feature. Amazing product.

Headphones...
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these sony headphones. I do notice that they get my hears pretty warm and sore if you wear them for a prolonged amount of time. My advice is if you are looking for headphones that creates a great seal and you aren't planning on wearing them for a long period of time, get these. I used them on a flight from detroit to tampa and I didnt keep them on the entire time because of ear fatigue. Also the touch controls arent the best
