Great product?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really impressed with the sound quality. Noise-cancelling is awesome. At the gym, it blocks all the sounds and helps you focus on your workout. The comfort of the headset is great as well.

Best NC Headphones I've Used
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these on sale for $275 (down from $350) and am very, very happy with them. They ranked as good or better than both Bose and Apple AirPods Max in many, many comparisons and - even at full price - are the cheapest of the 3. The noise cancelling truly is next level. They sound amazing as well. A really immersive experience. You can fine tune the sound to your liking via an equalizer that you control from the included Sony app. There are lots of other bells, whistles and gadgets - adaptive noise cancellation (NC adjust automatically based on your environment) and Sony's proprietary 360 degree sound codec. The codec is nifty and sounds amazing but is only available on three premium music services (Deezer, Tidal & Amazon HD) and kept behind an expensive paywall on all of them. To be honest - ALL music sounds just great on these. Your mileage may vary as to if this is something that you HAVE to have. I probably won't be renewing the free 3 month Deezer trial that comes with the cans. The MAIN showcase here are the noise cancelling and sound quality which are both top grade. You could take away the other stuff and these would still be worth the price point.

Great Headphones with
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is so good lasts almost 2 weeks with my usage of almost 2 hours daily. Noise cancelling is amazing but it reduces battery life a bit. Sound quality is not too bad as well. NFC pairing is always good to have. I do not use the google assistant feature, as I prefer to map the touch controls for volume and ambient control

Great investment!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They definitely block out most if not all the outside noises. I'm happy with my purchase. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they're bulky, touchy when working out, and they didn't come with at least a travel pouch. They worked perfectly for my flight. The battery life is on point.

Great headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling as i wear at home with loud kids and can barely hear them. Great features as it stops playing when you start a conversation with others and using gestures for controls, for example. Almost flawless, 4 stars as my wife says when i call her she can still hear the tv in the background supposedly. Look forward to using them on my next flight. Was a great deal since i got them on sale for black friday.

Great noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything works as advertised, specially the excellent noise canceling and battery life. I listen to it over 24 hours without worrying about recharging it. The sound is well balanced, the engineering of it didn’t add Lows or Highs like other popular brands such as the Beats does. I like Sony most because of the battery life and noise canceling.

Best pair of nose cancelling headphones I’ve owned
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down love these over the ear headphones! Bought a pair for myself, two for my partner (lost one pair on a flight), and gifted for a friend on Christmas. Noise cancelling is amazing, carrying case is handy and have even used it for gaming when I forgot my gaming headset.

Theyre not that great but theyre not the worst...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are not great. Theyre not adjustable so if you have a small head theyll never stay put. Mine dont. Ive also noticed that the volume doesnt get very loud. Its almost like the headphones come programmed to be a certain volume and that is the loudest they can go. I neat returned them for this reason. They comfortable as far as the ear part and i do think the noise cancellation feature is pretty cool. I bought me a pair and my husband a pair.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, I can't believe how great these are. I've had a couple of sets of noise canceling headphones in the past, all were on ear and I never really cared for them, these are so comfortable I could wear them 24 hours a day. The noise canceling is fabulous and they look great. Going to Paris soon and can't wait to use them on that flight.
