Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these noise cancellation wireless headphones for my boyfriend & he loves them. As do I he can listen to his music, watch his shows/movies on his phone or laptop and I don’t have to hear it lol. It’s great... He even talks on his phone & face time calls with the headphones. Love the silence. A win win

One of the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancellation is one of a kind. I had a previous version of the same headphones and the small additions that they have made are worth it in my opinion. Is it enough for a year-to-year upgrade? That I am not sure, but for those that are on 2+ year old headphones, this will be sufficient

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are wonderful, both sound and noise cancellation. They are replacing an older model WH-1000XM3, that broke just as the warranty expired. I hope these last longer, as they are the best for blocking airplane noise.

Alright i guess
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From my honest opinion. These headphoes arent at all bad for nouse cancelation. They have the atmosphere that you can cgange whoch i thought was pretty cool. But a few con are one there is no bass unlike the skullcandy skullcrusher headphones. Second not loud at all unlike beats by dre. These are pretty neat though.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used the headphones during a ten-hour trip to Europe. Superb noise canceling coupled with easy access to the airplane's entertainment system made the flight a relatively good experience, much more comfortable than I have sufferied in the past. I recommend these Sony headphones unreservedly.

Proof that headphones are evolving very, very well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound (well, of course), but sound dampening also works like a charm. You're shut off from construction sites, other passengers on board planes, trains, buses. Love the ability to cup my hand over the right 'phone and instantly my music turns down and I'm able to speak to someone who's addressing me. No fumbling.

Comfortable and Sounds Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality in feel and sound. Great features like speak to chat, where they stop playing if you start talking and then resume in as little as 15 seconds. App was clunky for me to use at first, but with practice became easier. It analyzed a picture of my ear and then the sound got better based off the picture...WOW!
