Sound depends on what you are using
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I first tried these wired to my pc, and was less than impressed. I wanted these to use with my boom mic in wired mode for voice calls, but still need to experiment I guess. I then tried connectimg to my galaxy s8, both wired and Bluetooth and found the sound to be OK, still using my s8 for work and music. I then paired to my s20 that I got about 2 weeks ago, and was blown away how much better it sounded than my old phone and wired to my pc. I guess it needs the advance Bluetooth codecs to really shine. They are super comfortable to wear and do an amazing job blocking noise. It is erie how much noise there is around you that you don't even notice until you put these on and take them off! I have a pair of philips fidelio l2 semi open backs that I got for $85 that sound as good, if not better. So if sound quality is your only reason for getting these, look elsewhere you can do better for cheaper. If you want good sound and features, based on pro reviews these are it!

Sony headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy and Sony never disappoint. I’ve purchased the headphones for college but ended up using them for all of my audio needs. The noise cancellation feature allows me to remain focused and get my work done without distractions. From the gym to online classes to video gaming or streaming! This headset will be the first thing you grab and the last thing you’ll forget !

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have fantastic sound quality, great noise cancelling, and are very comfortable to wear. I think I am semi-sensitive to noise-cancelling headphones, where having active noise cancelling (ANC) on for too long causes headaches with most headphones. While not non-existent for these headphones, I have not noticed the ANC to cause very much pain at all. They are very pleasent to wear. I reccomend!

It’s lightweight, comfortable, and the sound is absolutely the best. We have compared to other headsets such as Arctic series and Razer, and these beat those out by far.

Best noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from the WH1000XM2. Headphone is much lighter and more comfy than the XM2. Sound quality is almost the same, but noise cancelling is definitely better. Can't wait to fly again in a plane to really test these out.
