||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unbelievable noise cancellation headphones with top notch sound. Only downfall to me is they make my ears a little warm after only about 30 minutes of use. And thats just me nitpicking at these to give a fair review, lol.

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality, good sound. The noise cancelling could be better, you can still hear most things of you aren’t playing loud music. The audio leaks really bad, but I mostly use them when I’m on my own so it isn’t a big deal.

Posted .Hi Madison, We're happy that you like the amazing sound quality of these headphones. Your feedback regarding the music leakage and noise cancellation is greatly appreciated. With closed-back and over-the-ear design of these headphones, you can ensure that the sound leakage should be very minimal. The noise canceling function works primarily on noise in the low-frequency band such as vehicles and air conditioning. Although noise is reduced, it is not completely canceled. These should be pretty effective at canceling out noise and even more so if you have audio playing while the noise cancelation features are on.

The best ANC headphones in the game right now.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. It can block out sound and the microphones are great for conference calls. Also being able to link to my phone and computer at the same time makes it worth it. They are pricey but worth the $350.

Multi device support extremely flawed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really excited about receiving these but that excitement turned to frustration when I tried pairing these with another device after initial setup from my iPhone. When I tried to setup multi device use, the toggle in the app just refuses to activate. When I tried to connect to another device I paired with such as my MacBook or desktop PC, I am unable to do so without forcing the headphones into pairing mode. There are a several Reddit threads with the same issue even with the latest firmware update. There's just no seemless way for me to go from my phone to my laptop. For $350 plus tax, there’s no excuse for this and I’m hoping it’s just a select few with these defects or just a bad batch. These do sound great, and are comfortable headphones but I'm returning these if Sony doesn't address this. As of now, I can not recommended these headphones until this is fixed.

Great headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good sound quality. Don't expect these to totally block out all noise. They reduce noise very significant Ly, but have better sound quality than the Bose headphones. The Sony app is very good to customize sound.
