These are the best headphones I've ever used. You won't believe the noise canceling. They are super comfortable and the other features are as useful as advertised.

Good upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphone, upgraded from the XM2s. While it isn't a huge gain, I had a gift card so I used it to upgrade and it was worth it. These fit a lot nicer and sound a little better, and I think the ANC is better.

BEST HEADPHONE!!! if you dont mind the size
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this headphone and a airpod pro. This headphones are amazing I cant describe how good they sound. Noise cancellation is amazing. Overall it is amazing if you do not mind the size. I ended up returning them since it was not compatible with windows 10. I was able to connect it and it works as a "output" so you can listen to music but you can't use the microphone if you connect it to windows 10, so unfortunately I couldn't use it for gaming on my PC. Otherwise it is a crazy headphone. I would say the noise cancellation is a little better than airpod pro's. Probably about 10%, but this thing is huge.

Comfort, noise canceling, and quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Download Sony Headphone Connect App, open box, turn on headphones (bottom of left headphone on/off switch), using Sony Connect App, connect and paired new headphones. - My headphones were 100% charged out of box. - Many features in Sony Connect App, matter of your preference and use. I do think the app is solid and useful for my use of these headphones. - My headphones firmware updated automatically -be patient, process took several minutes. Initial impression; very comfortable, really good noise canceling and sound quality. - Voice clarity on both ends is outstanding. - Easily connected two iPhones, my experience switching between them was seamless. - Used ear profile in-app feature to analyze my ear shape for 360 Reality Audio setup.

Save some time, just go w these
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality, completely customizable eq/settings via app, and above average/great noise cancelling. I've been through a few sets of headphones and I think I have finally found 'the pair'. I have tried/returned Sennheiser Momentum 3 (the best sound quality, but way over active cutting out/pausing due to 'headphone removed' functionality - even when they hadn't been removed); Bose QC45 (very thin sound profile, otherwise nice headphone); and these. The sound quality is comparable to the Sennheisers, the comfort and noise cancelling are comparable to the QC45. This set really is the best available at this price point - save some time, just go w these.

Gift for Son
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Son really seems to enjoy them. The feature vs. other brands is what sold me on these. The adaptive noise canceling and volume functions are great. Also, the pause by placing hand over the right ear is a great feature, so you dont have to pull the headset off.

Probably the best noise ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my opinion, these are the best wireless noise canceling headphones you can buy. They have very good range, a bit of a bass boost, but nothing too muddy. And the noise cancellation is superb.

Headphones Creak/pop, but are otherwise great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise cancelling are great, as advertised. I can’t really add to what’s already been said in the reviews for this or the previous model. My only complaint is the large amount of mechanical noise (creaking and popping) I’m hearing as the the headphones flex or adjust to head movements. They sound extra loud because everything else is so quiet. It’s probably made worse by the focus/study playlists I’m using for work from home.
