Solid choice
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're solid. I really wish they had buttons though, I need to press a button not swipe, i still haven't figured em out. But they definitely shut out the noise, maybe a bit too well honestly.

Hands down my favorite pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been pleased in every single way by the performance of this headphones, I’ve had both the M1 and M2 versions in the past and I got to say this one is just at good or even better in every quality as those. I also some beats solo and studio headphones and these are far superior compared to beats. This thing has one of the best Active noise canceling in any headphones out there. Even though they are expensive they go on sale quite often and there are plenty of good opportunities to buy them in a good deal. One thing I did find that has gone down compared to the previous models is the unboxing experience, and how it feels. The older model felt premium, the cups had some texture and look unique. The complete smooth plastic feel is something I don’t like too much. That aside this is still a great buy and would recommend anyone looking amazing noise canceling headphones.

Great sound, not so great noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old, wired QuietComforts had finally come to a time they needed replacing, and I knew I wanted to get a high quality pair of wireless headphones. Sound quality is big for me, and equally important is the noise cancellation since I work in an open office and spend a fair amount of time on flights. While these Sony headphones definitely deliver on sound quality (the app is cool, if not kind of quirky, too), the noise cancellation is not as good as my old QCs. Also, switching Bluetooth between devices is unnecessarily difficult, requiring you to restart the headphones. I don't regret the purchase, but if i could do it again, i think I'd splurge for the XM5s or the QC 700s.

Gift for Son
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Son really seems to enjoy them. The feature vs. other brands is what sold me on these. The adaptive noise canceling and volume functions are great. Also, the pause by placing hand over the right ear is a great feature, so you dont have to pull the headset off.

AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE LOVE LOVE these headphones! I've had them for a bit over a year and they work like they are brand new. At first, they can be a bit tricky to use if you don't find the right settings for you, but once you adjust the settings to your liking and fit, they're the best. I would recommend using and buying when going on walks and to study. The battery lasts so long which is such a plus! 100% charged can last a whole day and sometimes even up to more days depending on the use you give them. I recommend to give them a try!

Sounds great, some quirky features
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have excellent quality sound with great battery life. They do shut off when you lay down if the automatic shut off is activated. Simple fix but kind of a weird feature. The blue LED light blink randomly. Unsure how to stop that from happening.

Noise cancelling headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It really cancels out noise when you just want to lock in. Really helped me during my days to study for the boards. I love going to cafe, but sometimes it could get really loud, but with this device. It helped me focus better because of the noise cancellation it provides.
