Very good sound and noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great, quality and build is great. Expensive because they are fantastic. All the great reviews are true, I won’t repeat it all, but I will mention a couple of small complaints, but I still love these headphones. 1) My hair isn’t what you would call long, but these things tend to pluck a hair out every time I take them off. It has gotten less so as I have become more careful but the reason for this is also problem 2 2) Sony always makes these foldable headphones. I couldn’t care less that they fold, and I don’t care or need a cute little case they fold into. I just put them in my backpack anyway, and I get the feeling Sony puts all this r and d into this stupid folding feature. Unnecessary moving parts make them feel cheap and wiggly, and pinch my hair out, and I bet I’m paying more for this annoyance. They are built to last, but I don’t think I am alone in NOT GIVING A CRAP that they FOLD UP. 3) The charging cable is like three inches long...

Great Travel Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are simply fantastic. I bought for my son fort travel since he flies all over the US. Long battery life, fast charging, comfortable and a few cool features that Bose doesn’t Offer. I have had Sony, Bose, Beats, and The AirPod Pros and the Sony and Bose are by far superior.

Great over the ear
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I need a pair of the ear headphones for long study sessions that blocked out sound. I looked around, read reviews and and tried on several pairs. It ultimately came down that I need to purchase them, take them home and try them. I decided that I would buy the Sony flagship headphone. So far they have worked out wonderful. The sound is great and the lack of outside sound is awesome too. They do not block out sound like in the year versions, but they also do not kill your ear during long term listening sessions. I am still trying to get use to the controls but that is just using them more. I do like the ability to put up the ear and bam you can hear people without taking them off. The one thing I did not like, was the fact that Best Buy was all out of the black ones... I also did not want to to wait a couple of days to get a black version or I could have gone another route... but that is a very small issue.

Simply the best hands dwon
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve tried many headphones and these are by far the most comfortable and have the best noise canceling aside from the apple airpods max, but the airpods max are too heavy in my opinion and too expensive.

Favorite Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones so much. They sound amazing, the ambient noise option is good if you're walking around outside so you're aware of any traffic or people nearby. I use the noise-canceling when I travel to block out any outside noise. Charges quickly and the battery lasts forever.

Love these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend who loved them! Finds the side control features fascinating as well as the noise cancelling. Would recommend keeping in its case it comes in — I have my own which the skin has started peeling a bit because I didn’t take extra good care of them but that’s on me. Still going strong for 2 years!!

Really good sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are very good sounding headphones. I have never tried any in this class or more expensive so I can’t compare except to cheap headphones & earbuds. These are much better. I like the noise cancelling. I had very close neighbors who would fight a lot and windows were open in nice weather. This blocked them very well. They are gone. I still love the phones. I listen to mostly classical music and oldies from 60’s. I think the music sounds good. I can well distinguish individual instruments in classical music, making it very beautiful. I’ve had these over 2 years and still love them.

Great over-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy listening to music with these but it's true that after a while your head starts to hurt a little because of the band and the ear cushions get kind of hot but overall these are great headphones with active noise cancelling literally you can't hear anything outside and I love it when going on the bus.
