Better than competitors

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.

Long use
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been using it for more than a year. Perfect, no issues. The headphone has no quality issues, but overall the sound cancellation makes the music sound small when I am in public. I charge it once and I can use it for 10-15 hours.

Shouldn't Have Had to Buy but Product is Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd actually purchased same item 10/31 and then saw Black Friday sale - sadly wasn't allowed to price match so forced to return 1st pair only to buy same again but $100 less. GREAT headphones, though. Excellent sound & great noise cancelling. Sorry to waste employee time returning and restocking but wasn't letting a $100 savings go.

Amazing headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are easily the best headphones I have ever owned. My only regret is that I did not buy them sooner. I love the noise cancellation and the touch controls on the right ear. The speak feature that lowers the volume and turns off ANC for a period of time is awesome, but it is not for me. If I respond and just say yea to someone it activates. Great feature, just not for me.

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

Excellent Sound, but so so BT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is awesome. Then why only 3 star? Bluetooth connectivity is not stable - if you walk around it disconnects and even if you sit, it disconnects from Samsung TV and your show sound becomes distorted. From sound quality point of view, it is much better than Bose QC45 and Sony XM3. But if we consider Bluetooth connectivity, it is not as good as QC45.
