Converted from Bose
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headphones. I use them daily for work and entertainment. With 7,000 hours plus of use time so far I can tell you these are durable and of high quality. I purchased a pair originally in 2020 and now a second pair as a gift and will definitely be going Sony in the future.

Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great headphones, the noise cancellation is amazing and customizable which is neat. If you want good quality music and bass go ahead and grab you a pair of these but only down side is these really can’t be used for the gym they slide of easily which is the only down side Over all good to just kick back and jam out.

Great headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound! I highly recommend this headphones. You need to get the Sony app though! At first the sound sounds flat but with a lot of detail. You need to configure the sound to the taste you like and without a doubt you will love them. They sound so full and rich once you configure them to your liking.

Wouldn’t pay full price for them.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these bad boys on sale for $250.00. ANC is good, took them on a flight to Vegas and significantly reduce the sound of the jet engine however if your expectation is for the to completely eliminate that is unrealistic. Also, doesn’t do a good job canceling peoples voices, so if you getting them to get piece and quite from your family look elsewhere. Audio quality is excellent and plenty of adjustments available via the Sony app.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding headphones. Had Bose QC35 previously and loved them but they developed an issue with not turning off properly. Decided to try Sony and very happy I did. Build quality, sound, and noise canceling is about the same as Bose. But Sony has better phone app and better volume controls

Great sounding easy to use!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrific set of headphones. I can't speak to functionality with Alexa which is available but the Bluetooth works well for true wireless connectivity. I primarily use them with my tv for high quality movie watching and try sound great! The price is high though. If you can get it a little cheaper I would highly recommend.

A Blast to the Past
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset was what I thought I wanted to replace my old Sony that was 15 years old. It seemed uncomfortable for long use. It was too heavy and too pricy. I saw so many new choices I had to try.

Not any better than the xm3's
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the xm3's before these and there are not many improvements. Noise canceling and ambient sound is still top tier. Now there is a sensor in the left ear that knows when you take them off. The accompanying app allows you to enable features that can pause and/or turn off the device when you're not wearing them.

Better value over X5
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brought on sale, excellent sound and value. Love that it comes with a cord for another option. In my opinion it's better than the newer version because it folds down more compact for traveling.
