    Beats by Dre has always been my go-to brand for headphones, but Sony headphones are far superior. These are the best headphones I've ever owned.

    It was everything I was hoping for in noise cancelling headphones. I purchased another name brand pair and returned them because of the performance. I also like the NC Optimizer for different situations. The only drawback is the app you must use is not as intuitive as I hoped.

    These sounds incredible. The noise cancelling is good snough to use while on the riding mower and not have to have the music turned up really loud. The app that you can download gives you so many extra features and sound choices. These are much better than my bose! I highly recommend!

    Best part of the headphones is definitely the noise cancelling. I am in college and I can tune out people being loud with these headphones so I can study. I can also just touch side of headphones to turn on transparency mode so I can hear if someone is talking to me.

    Replacement for older Bose noise cancelling. Easy to pair once the app is installed. Not quite as comfortable as the Bose but the sound is incredible. Range is good and fairly easy to use. The feature that shuts off the music/sound if you start talking is helpful but it will also shut off if you laugh. The only reason it doesn't get five is that it's not really comfortable for longer periods of time such as a couple of hours. Great for airplane travel.

      Hi iowafan,

      We appreciate your review of the headphones. We're glad that you like the Bluetooth range and user-friendly functions. The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases, it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. Disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident.

      Your feedback about its comfort is greatly appreciated. Make sure to adjust the headband of the headphones for optimum fit and comfort. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!

    One of the best headphones ever! Just got off a flight sitting infront a crying infant and singing toddler and heard NONE OF IT! Noise canceling is so good, it's almost scary how silent it can get if not playing any audio.
