Sounds so nice I bought them twice!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good sounding, very comfortable and wireless. This product is so good that I bought a second pair. Are they a value meh only if you compare them a $500.00 pair of cans that sound alike.

GREAT!! Wonderful noise cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using this product for couple months now i am absolutely IN LOVE with my purchase not to mention the great customer service you get from the Best Buy employee who made my experience easy when i had to come in for an exchange. I love the hands free fetures this headset has, it is great for the gym, Cancels out so much background noise and I love how personize you can make these headphones to your prefured audio experience. It had Alexa built in if you use alexa a lot this would be another great devise to add. Only issue i have with it is that the pairing experience is quite hard to connect to whenever i want to switch to use on another device but maybe thats just me, and also how when i run or move my head too fast it likes to slide off my head but other than those minor details its a great pair of headphones.

9/10 Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to return my first pair since the right headphone was making a wind noise no matter the environment I was in while the ANC was active. Contacted Sony support and they said that this was normal behaviour, but for $350 I'd expect better. They refused to help me, so I returned those and purchased a second pair. I decided to get them again because I hope that I don't run into this problem again. These things are great! I've never had any really premium headphones before, so maybe I'm ignorant, but really, the should out of these is fantastic, the noise cancelling is pretty good, especially in day to day use, and being able to set a custom sound profile is the best. They added multi device support, so you can see listening to something on your computer, and answer a phone call without needing to switch anything, it's all automatic. Tons of features, and for this price point, these are much better than the Bose offerings sound wise. I bought some Bose headphones to compare and these blew those away in every field except the build quality. These have a lightweighr, plastic feel, but you get used to them quick - I stopped noticing after a day or two.

The best headphones for sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been heavily using the Bose Quietcomfort ii headphones for 3 years now, but after the ear pads had peeled, I decided to buy a pair of these headphones based on the online reviews that they were actually better. As far as sound and noise cancellation goes, they are! The sound is clearer and more customizable using the Sony app. The only negative with these is that if you wear them for more than 2 hours or so, your ears will start to sweat a little, but it’s not that bad. The Bose is more breathable in this regard, and therefore better suited to long periods of wear if you use them at work or during long travel. But in all other areas, these from Sony are superior.
