    From the packaging to the actual headphones and accessories all feel premium. The sound of the actual headphones are the best in class for Bluetooth in my opinion. Only knock would be it feels like it could break east if not folded carefully.

    They sound pretty good for the price point. Their main advantage, though is the noise cancelling. The only thing is, they're uncomfortable after wearing them for a little while. I would also not recommend this item if you need to switch smoothly between devices. You have to manually disconnect from the other device before you can use the other.

    I have been weighing between the Sony WH-1000XM3 and the Bose 700 for the last year and when these came out and I saw the reviews on them I just had to try them out. These are by far the best headphones I have ever owned. I am more than happy with my purchase and they not only sound amazing but the noise canceling is second to none! I have used them every day since I got them!

    This is the 3rd purchase from my house. This time I bought it for my husband as my kids love this item. Using at home and airplane, they are very effective. Sounds is great while the headset actually cut the noises. I do recommend this item to everyone who is looking for a quality noise canceling headset with reasonable price.

    Good quality headphones, these have better bluetooth range than the Bose QC 35ii, which is why I got them. The sound quality is on par with Bose headphones, although the 2 headphones have different sound profiles. If the noise cancellation gives you headaches, try returning them for a different piece, as I had a similar issue with the one I first purchased.

    If you’re undecided, don’t think about it buy these. On sale they’re so worth it. I’d say watch the video on YouTube but you need the headphones to really hear what they’re capable of! I’m hearing parts of the song I’ve never heard before. The 360 degree feature is other worldly. The BEST noise reduction I’ve ever heard. Sorry Bose yours are inferior!

If you have any additional thoughts or suggestions, we'd love to hear them!

      Hi MichaelI, we're glad you are enjoying our product. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with your Sony unit. It appears that the issue you have is caused by the Speak-to-Chat feature. If Speak-to-Chat is enabled beforehand, the Speak-to-Chat mode starts automatically when you talk to someone. The headset pauses or mutes the music which is being played and captures the voice of the person you are conversing with on the microphone to make it easier to hear. You can disable this feature by following this link:
