Decent purchase..still figuring it out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the headphones. It sounds great and the nose cancellation is better than any other headphones in this price range. The only thing I'm struggling with is that sometimes it keeps pausing and randomly connects and disconnects automatically which is a little annoying. I'm not sure if anyone else has faced this of if just this piece is faulty.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality very good overall. When noise cancellation is on things like wind or ac can cause weird scratching noise, but otherwise noise cancellation is very good and the auto adjustments based on situation are very cool.

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.

Sony Quality as Expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only complaint is the voice activation shuts off the headphones momentarily. Also if you cough or clear your throat. It can be frustrating. I have utilized them for watching TV, music and Video watching. They are comfortable and do not get hot too quickly. I would purchase them again and recommend them to a friend.

Posted .Hi Backwoodscommuter, thanks for sharing your feedback. While we are glad that you like the quality we are sorry that the voice activation shuts off the headphones. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. You can turn on/off the voice guidance.
To turn the voice guidance on/off, please install the Sony | Headphones Connect app on your smartphone. Select [Notification & Voice Guide] from the Dashboard to set the notification and voice guidance to be heard from the headphones.

Right Hinge
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are AMAZING when it comes to audio and noice canceling..but my issue lies with the physical. I have bought a pair of xm4’s before and in fact this is a replacement for those but my first pairs I had dropped and the right hinge swivel had broke and the right cup was just dangling, that was my fault that it broke, but this time I was just taking the headphones off and they broke, in the same way as my last ones..so I probably won’t ever be buying Sony’s again, they cost way too much to break so easily.

ANC Champions
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best ANC headphones yet! The multipoint Bluetooth is great when you figure out how it works. The sound cancelling optimizer originally ruined the noise cancelling after I used it twice but I exchanged them and they’re back to normal.
