Best headphones out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased a pair of the new Bose Quiet Comfort headphones and returned them for these. They didnt compare at all when it came to style, functionality, sound, and features. The Sonys have a built in assistant that can be accessed at the touch of a button which could be used with Google or Alexa. They have a unique feature to hear your surroundings by holding the outter side of the headphone. The app has countless settings to fully customize them to your liking. And even a feature to capture a photo of your own ear to get the best sound possible. I noticed the headphones are also scratch resistant and stay clean for the most part. Every other pair of headphones that ive worn, ended up with scratches and blemishes shortly after purchase. The case included is protective and functional. The right ear side has hand gesture functions that help you amswer calls, end calls, skip songs, and change volume. Which does take some getting used to. I personally recommend these to anyone. I can finally be heard with ease on my calls without too much background noise. You can't go wrong with this purchase.

Best Headphones for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bang for buck one of the best headphones you could ever get. I had the previous gen of the headphone and decided to upgrade and it was the best decision I made. They took the previous model and improved in every way. Sound never cuts and you can feel the bass in your ears. Truly an amazing experience to listen to anything with these on.

Excellent Noise cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been using this headphone for past nine months and Sony never let me down. It's very handy and not heavy. The box provided is awesome and holds this well. Noise cancelling feature is great and when you speak it recognizes your voice and holds the audio. Volume can be adjusted on the headphone with fingers. That's kind of cool. Love this headphone

The noise canceling is great, and doesn’t make your head feel a ton of pressure the way my Airpods Pro do. They also sound great! And i love that i can easily adjust the equalizer. The battery also last a long time!

best over the ear headphones I've ever had
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best over the ear headphones I have used, worth the cost. Easy to wear for hours, excellent sound and excellent noise cancellation as well. I have an in-the-ear-canal set of Etymotics (ER4) with ear molds that are also excellent, but after an hour or two they start to irritate me. This headset is light and no irritation.

Did you hear that?
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it! I was sceptical of noise cancelling headphones, so I took a shot in the dark after a bit of comparisons online. I couldnt personally go out at test any, but I highly recommended before buying based on each persons' preferences. I have larger ears and it comfortably sits over them for extended periods of time. Sound quality is great and noise cancelation takes me to a deeper dimension of my dissociation.
