Comfortable with great sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are in my opinion the best headphones money can buy right now. They are very comfortable and sound amazing, deep bass, clear mids, and clear highs. The highs aren't so sharp that they're ear piercing though but they are very clear.

Good purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do transcript work and this works perfectly. It blocks outside noises, but when I speak it allows me to hear room noise. A charge lasts a long time and it turns off automatically. Plus with wireless, I can move from my computer without removing headset.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason that I bought this product is because due to COVID I have to work from home and the noise cancellation and the battery life futures were the main reason of this purchase - I don't have to hear my dog, my teenager son and my mother talking and distracting me while I'm working.

Excellent choice of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise reduction is superb! Fortunate for me the newer model M5 came out a few days after my purchase. The sound remains the same but the new features such as the larger ear pads make them that much more comfortable.

Good, but could use a few tweaks to be great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Then noise cancelling function on these headphones is really good. I've never really had a pair other than airpod pros. I mainly use these while I'm studying, listening to lectures or on Zoom calls. I love that you can connect to two devices at the same time via bluetooth. These headphones are much smaller and lightweight than I thought they would be. The app you need to accompany it is okay to use, but does not have a ton of functionality. There are a couple of major points that I do not like. 1st, the padding on the earcups is not very thick. Your ears may touch the inside of the headphones if they aren't on the smaller side. I have tried to replace them with aftermarket ones, but have not found the right one yet. 2nd, the talk to speak function, it will pause headphones if it indicates you speaking, is very sensitive. It reacts to a slight clearing of the throat or other sound easily. Then it will take a few seconds to reconnect to what you were engaged in. 3rd, to get the full functionality of these headphones, such as 360 Reality Audio, you have to subscribe to "premium" apps or services that utilize it. For the price, that is off-putting.

By using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you can change the settings of the wearing detection automatic music playback pause and resume function and the wearing detection automatic power off function (the battery saving function).

||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable even for someone with a very large head.
