GET IT!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones! I asked a bestbuy associate to show me something loud and he brought me these. The headphones are amazing when it comes to sound quality and sound cancellation. The swiping feature is my favorite part about them! They are loud and made me not even think twice about returning my Beats Studio Pros a day after having them. GET THESE HEADPHONES!!

Best headphones out right now
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I travel a lot and wanted a really nice really reliable set of headphones. I have a friend that works at a factory. He got several headphones from coworkers to sample. None of them sucked. Tried many many brand. Most had software glitches within the few minutes I tested them. Some were comfortable and some were not. Noise cancellation wasn’t very good on most. These are the total package. I’m a couple hundred hours into listening and they sound great. Not once had a software issue, and the noise cancellation is second to none. Can’t think of one negative to these babies.

Good and Bad
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am on the fence about these. If these are that great then I just don't see it. Sound quality is good but nothing like some people claim. My Audio Technicas produce an equal if not better quality sound. Headband is not very comfortable after a couple hours of wearing them. I find the band starts to dig into the top of my head and gives me a headache. The band needs more padding. Wireless function is a royal pain. You have to download a proprietary Sony app for any of your devices to use these. Pairing them is not easy like it is for many Bluetooth accessories like mice, keyboards and such. Battery life is acceptable. Noise canceling is good. Still evaluating product to determine if I will return to get my $300+ back.

Consider these for premium over-the-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to own a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones and they were great but needed to be replaced after having them for over 6 years. I was going to purchase the most up-to-date Bose headphones but also wanted to do some research on other competitive brands. After watching countless videos and getting a better lay of the land, I was able to make a decision on these Sony wireless noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones. They sounds very pristine and I love the 360 audio feature....it's really freaky at first but it's definitely a one-of-a-kind experience! They also feel much more premium than the headphones I had before so I have confidence these will last a long time.

Really nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot complain. The noise canceling is awesome. The ease of use for adjusting sound changing track and so on is perfect. I purchased these over another major brand and I find them to be equal but they cost me less. I also owned the earbuds in the same model from the same company, and they are absolutely phenomenal as well.
