Quality Headphones with Extraneous Features
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, however, I do not think these headphones offer the greatest sound for the price range. It offers many touch control features such as being able to lower/higher the volume with a stroke of a finger, disable noise cancellation by hovering your hand over the right earphone and many others, but I did not see myself using these features often. Some things I think are important to point out: These are primarily wireless bluetooth headphones in that they need to be connected via bluetooth to be able to modify and get the enhanced audio quality settings via their app. If you use these headphones strictly wired, the audio quality is noticeably worse. This does not seem like too big of an issue for me since they charge relatively quickly. On that note, these headphones cannot be used while they are charging. With that being said, I still enjoy these headphones, but if I had the option to buy these again, I think I would probably choose the Bose QC35 that are available for around the same price since I have had a better experience with Bose overall.

Best headphones I've owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the 360 audio. Too bad I can't have this for all the music that I have. But without the 360, the sound is still very good. And I use it for video conferencing calls on PC and it's superb. This one has everything that I want. I can't ask for more.

Nice sound but Bluetooth connectivity issue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this during thanksgiving, assuming this was a good product. However this model has serious connectivity issues. It does not automatically connect to your paired Bluetooth device (at least my headphone) and you need to reset the headphone every time before connecting which is pain. Quite disappointed but I am sure Sony will fix it in future.

Great Headphones

Bose are a bit lighter on the head, but this one has so many other features. Removing them from the head pauses what you are playing is great. USB-C charging is how it should be.
