Good but Bose 700s are the better set imo
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating between these and the Bose 700s. I ended up picking the Bose 700 as I use these often on conference calls and the mic for the Sony picked up a ton of background noise. The active noise cancellation also had a bit more pressure to me and I'd feel a bit busy when it kicked up to the higher levels.
