Good Sometimes but not all the time.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had these headphones for a couple days with hours of listening but returned them. The noise canceling feature was amazing when it worked. My AC was almost completely silenced and noises while running errands were much quieter, making my audio content much more engrossing. If you’re a bass head, you will be underwhelmed but if you like a nice balance of highs, mids, and a decent amount of low frequencies, you’ll like these. Unfortunately the pair I bought started to develop a slight hissing noise. It sounded like wind in a microphone or the faint sound of a waterfall in the distance. The hissing sound would take me out of the experience of my music or podcast. Whenever there was a pause in a conversation or a fade out of music, I would start to notice the hiss. I thought switching between devices would be easy but it was cumbersome. Switching from an iPad to an iPhone took some effort, having to restart the app or switch off Bluetooth on one device. The app isn’t properly designed for the iPad either so you’ll either have thick black borders or a stretched UI meant for phones. I will reconsider purchasing these headphones again since I hear so much praise for Sony’s noise canceling tech but I will wait a few months. By then I hope manufacturing, software, and firmware is refined to avoid this problem. Best Buy has been great and I will continue shopping here for years.

Posted .Hi TurtleScarf, we're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you had to return these headphones because of the hissing sound. Resetting and initializing the headset might have resolved this issue. The multipoint function ( Connecting the headset to 2 devices simultaneously) must be turned on using the Sony Headphones Connect app.
We appreciate this honest review. Rest assured that this feedback would help us improve the quality and performance of our products. We hope you consider Sony in your future purchase.
