Very solid headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I'm quite happy with these headphones. Sound quality is excellent and can be tailored to your individual preferences using the Sony headphones app. They are smooth sounding and can get plenty loud. The noise cancelation is simply superb and also adjustable via the app. Comfort is also top notch. No issues wearing them for extended period of time. I wish Sony had included AptX support, but it's not a big deal. The only negatives are that they've shut off twice without prompting (while listening), and I can't use the highest bandwidth setting for LDAC without the sound cutting in and out with my Samsung S10+. This is fixed by using a lower bandwidth setting which is fine. Love these headphones.

Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are probably some of the best quality headphones I have ever owned. The sound quality is excellent, they hold a charge for a long time and the recharge time is quick. With that said, the included recharging cable is ridiculously short ( about four inches) You will probably have to do what I did and buy a longer charging cable.

Flawlessly amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of all the headphones I have tried before, I can confidently say that these are the best, down to the sound, quality, and comfort, I use them for cadual use and also at the gym and they are just amazing. However I believe they are still a little pricey for the average person. Regardless, if you have the spare money to use on these you won't regret it.

Worth the Buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these headphones back in March, and they are amazing. The sound quality is clear and high quality; very well balanced headphones so far. Wearing them for an extended time is not much of a problem when it comes to comfort. The noise canceling feature is great for being in your own little world while listening to audio. This is also an amazing alternative to the more expensive, higher end headphones out there.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using things headphones for work and I will say it's worth the money. I use these headphones for work and and can say these headphones exceeded my expectations. They're comfortable and can be used non-stop for 8+ work days without causing any headaches, or sweat. The audio is crisp and with the app I can change the mode settings based on my location to see how much noise cancellation I want. The headphones come with a small travel case, aux cable (if you don't want to use bluetooth), and a charger. Con: The microphone isn't the best Pro: I have 4 budgies and have been able to block them out thanks to these headphones when I'm working!

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good headphones! The noise cancelation is very effective and it makes the music experience enjoyable. I don't have any complaints about it. I use it all the time for studying, doing errands, gym and much more!

Perfect headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. Excellent bass, yet clear vocals. I use it for rap music, but all other music sounds excellent. I am using them wired mostly, so I cannot comment on the use of the noise canceling yet. But I have tried it out, and it blocks out a lot of noise. Beautiful matte look in midnight blue. I love the case and accessories. The only issue I can point out is the top of my head hurts a bit from the headband after an hour use, but its not enough to knock a star off. The ear pads are very plush and comfy.

Best Noise Canceling headphones on the market!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased these for a trip recently because the noise of jet engines gives me a terrible headache for days after. I read lots of reviews about the best of the best I decided to buy these when they were on sale for black friday. What an incredible difference they made on my flight! It blocked out all the low end noise and made the flight not only bearable but enjoyable because I could now hear my audiobook to pass the time without it being at max volume! Highly Recommend. I've had other noise canceling headphones from Anker and JBL but they were not even close to the level of cancelation I got from these.

Great noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is amazing! They do a great job of blocking out all the noises in the house and letting me enjoy my late night movie watching. I don’t notice any lag in the dialogue. A single press of the Power button while using them lets you know how much battery life is left. After spending an evening/night watching movies I have yet to get it to drop below 50%.
