Ultimate headphones for commuters.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are extremely immersive. The modular equalizer allows you to adapt the sound to your liking and to the specific music you’re listening to. One feature I wish was available to me is the ability to name a specific equalizer subset instead of just having the default name of “custom 1” in the Sony Headphones app. Aside from that, these headphones are both superb in quality and in their aesthetic. Truly a beautiful piece of tech both in and out.

Noise cancellation is great. The fact that I can connect with two devices at one time is worth it. It provides a super rich bass with clear lows with highs.

Best Value
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for the LDAC bluetooth capability. It worked well, and sounded pretty good. However, I returned these since my Apple Airpods Max sounded just as good to my aging ears. So, these became unnecessary. If you won't be connecting to apple products, pick these over the the AirPods Max, they are a way better value. If you do plan to use with Apple products, the AirPods max will give you a better more robust experience.

Great headphones. Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling is fire. So good has pretty good bass and you can customize the sound quality through the Sony app. Gets pretty lousy and the touch panel on the right side is responsive. Definitely worth it

Nice noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to use during airline travel, to reduce the effects of engine noise when I try to listen to audio, either from airline entertainment, or from a personal device. I have not taken any trips since receiving these, so I don't know how well they will work against the noise of jet engines. I did, however, try listening to a quiet audio recording (Barber's "Adagio for Strings") while sitting next to a running vacuum cleaner. The headphones performed well to dramatically reduce the sounds of the vacuum cleaner. I could turn the headphone noise cancelling off to see what a difference the electronic feature provides -- well beyond the "ear muffs" effect of their over-the-ear design.
