      Hi Jaguares,

      We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that the headphones turn off randomly. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is updated (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue. Please refer to these links:

    They worked great at first. Now I'm having the disconnected issue. Every 5-15min the headphones disconnect and then reconnect. Its really annoying and irritating. I think sony is bricking them on purpose like apple did. Unfortunately for them, Ill buy bose next time. Fix your headphones sony!

      Hi McRAD, we are truly sorry to hear that you've experiencing this issue with the headphones disconnecting very often. This is not the experience we want you to have. Here are some steps that can help you to have a more stable connection and avoid the inconvenience.
      1- Update Firmware: Ensure that your headphones have the latest firmware installed. You can check for updates and install them via the Sony Headphones Connect App.
      2- Change the Bluetooth connection: Ensure that the Bluetooth connection quality mode is set to "Priority on stable connection" in the Sony Headphones Connect App
      3- Check for possible environmental interference: Make sure that there are no other Bluetooth devices, WiFi router, or other sources of interference nearby that could disrupt the connection
      4- Initialize the headset to restore factory settings. You can check the link below for instructions:

    It's comfortable and it fits well. The quality of the materials are really good. The only thing that I hate about this headphones are the speak to chat feature. It does not make sense to me. It's very sensible and it gets really annoying. I have it disabled on my phone so I don't run into interruptions.

We appreciate your feedback about the Speak to chat feature. You can turn off this feature by holding your 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat deactivated”.

    Hands down the best. I’ve owned Bose QC 35 I and II , most recently the 700’s. Long story short, I returned my 700’s (second pair I own since the other ones were stolen). Only short coming are still the mikes for phone calls but not by a lot. Huge improvement since M3’s.
