Very satisfied with purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. Very sturdy. Affordable for the brand name. The design is simple and adore the color of our purchase. Not disappointed at all. Very comfortable to wear but depending on the duration, it can get uncomfortable. One improvement is to improve the cleaning aspect.

Good listening
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love the sound on these. My only issue is the slide when I work out but to be honest I have that figured out. The bass boost feature on these gives just the right amount. Sound is crisp and clean. Better than my AirPods.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve tried many headphones and these are by far the most comfortable and have the best noise canceling aside from the apple airpods max, but the airpods max are too heavy in my opinion and too expensive.

Very nice Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will give 5 stars to this product, but when you use it the only negative thing is that you don't feel them so tight on your head, besides that, they are really great and with the updated app from Sony the options for the sound coming out of the speakers OMG...Great! , I don't think they could manufacture a better product, I own Bose, Beat, those are good products, but these Headphones are way better, very happy with them.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality, best noise cancelling I’ve ever experienced. Fit is comfortable. Only knock is the ambient sound for me sometimes doesn’t register quickly enough and I find myself having to pause music to hear someone speaking with me.

Some great features. One annoying problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: The noise cancellation is awesome. It is on par or slightly better than the Bose QC 35 II. It is more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time than the Bose (at least for my ears). Cons: The biggest problem I have is that when restarting the headphones, the volume always starts at maximum. I am using the iPhone app. Sometimes the volume control on the iphone app is not responsive when on a call.
