Great Sound. Great Controls.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned several headphones, including 3 Boses, 2 JBLs, and a few others. These Sony headphones are the best sounding I've owned. The noise canceling works great. The controls take some getting used to, but once you figure them out they are genius. Far superior to the Boses controls. I use them primarily with my Samsung Note 9 and Samsung Smart TV. I haven't had any issue pairing or keeping them connected. I use them regularly outdoors while doing chores.

I use them at work to block out sounds to help me focus. They work amazing on planes and for daily use. When it's time to buy another pair I'm going for this model because they're better than the nee ones in my opinion.

Just as good as the MX5s
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely top-tier headphones, the software for it is amazing but you don't even need it to get great sound. They perform just as well as the MX-5s for the most part, but appear more reliable from what I've heard.

Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the sound form these headphones. I’ve used my husbands Bose Quiet Comforts in the past, and wanted my own noise canceling headphones. Besides just great sound, you have touch options and they also come with the old school airline adapter. Even with Bose being high end, they don’t give you an adapter. I like that these came in blue as well as the more basic black and silver options. No regrets at all buying these.

Beautiful Music.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound in these is best described as rich. all the sound levels are perfect for music that is classic rock, old metal, Jazz. If you are looking for just the thump of base, stick with beats. If you want great sound pair it up to a Denon or Onkyo receiver.

Great headphone with just one flaw
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are planning to use this headphone mostly on a Windows machine please take a note that you cant use LDAC on Windows and iOS devices. While on iOS devices AAC format creates good sound, they have omitted the aptX so the sound code is limited to a very old SBC format on Windows. I am not an audiophile myself but can hear some sound differences between my Windows machine (SBC) and iPhone (AAC). I didn't know this when bought the item, and if I knew probably look somewhere else. But, I can't say I am 'that' disappointed, the product is great and the battery life is really good.

Excellent Sound, but so so BT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is awesome. Then why only 3 star? Bluetooth connectivity is not stable - if you walk around it disconnects and even if you sit, it disconnects from Samsung TV and your show sound becomes distorted. From sound quality point of view, it is much better than Bose QC45 and Sony XM3. But if we consider Bluetooth connectivity, it is not as good as QC45.
