Quality Product.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have many merits: They sound great using Blue Tooth. They are comfortable and easy to used. Their noise cancelling works well. I need to live with them to make further evaluation. Best Buy matched the Amazon Prime Day price with a faster delivery date. I also got a small rewards discount.

Great Headphones

No real drawbacks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only possible drawbacks to this are price (fair but they are not cheap) or wondering how to replace the ear pads. They sound fantastic and the noise canceling is so good I can take a nap at my desk while my kids play Minecraft on the TV :-). I use them for everything from YouTube to CyberPunk and recommend them highly.

Sony Vs Apple
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great! Noise cancellation is amazing. I picked them up for sale and now I got my dad some for the original price. They are the older versions apparently but I think they are in competition with the Apple Max’s I previously used for sure

Another winning headset from SONY
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An exceptional set of headphones. A lot of automation and sound tailoring possible with the Sony application. They are very comfortable and the noise cancelling is A+. I felt that I had to custom set many of the features to work well for my usage, but kudos to Sony for having that level of customization in their application.
