Great Sound. Great Controls.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned several headphones, including 3 Boses, 2 JBLs, and a few others. These Sony headphones are the best sounding I've owned. The noise canceling works great. The controls take some getting used to, but once you figure them out they are genius. Far superior to the Boses controls. I use them primarily with my Samsung Note 9 and Samsung Smart TV. I haven't had any issue pairing or keeping them connected. I use them regularly outdoors while doing chores.

Great headphone with just one flaw
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are planning to use this headphone mostly on a Windows machine please take a note that you cant use LDAC on Windows and iOS devices. While on iOS devices AAC format creates good sound, they have omitted the aptX so the sound code is limited to a very old SBC format on Windows. I am not an audiophile myself but can hear some sound differences between my Windows machine (SBC) and iPhone (AAC). I didn't know this when bought the item, and if I knew probably look somewhere else. But, I can't say I am 'that' disappointed, the product is great and the battery life is really good.

Never going back
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m honestly in love with these headphones, though I don’t use them often. However, when I do use them, they’re a NOISE CANCELLATION life saver. I honestly would recommend these over the AirPod pro max. Not only for price, but quality of sound not brand. (as someone who has just about every apple product).

Almost great, but showing its age
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality and comfort are great, but the outdated Bluetooth really showed. If you’re not planning on wearing in crowded places or using multipoint much it’s still a great option.
