Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC is phenomenal. Sound was okay but there are better options out there. Wound up returning due to them making my ears heat up and uncomfortable.

Posted .Hi ErockG, while we are glad that you like the noise canceling function and sound quality, we regret to hear that it's not giving you the best comfort and had to be returned. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have.
Make sure to adjust the headband for optimum fit and comfort. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that we'll have this noted as we continuously strive to improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony. Erin
