The best!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best on the market right now in terms of noise cancellation and value. I compared these to the Bose 700s and for me, these win all day, every day. They are lightweight, hold a charge for forever it seems, and have a fully functional app so you can fine tune your settings. Awesome headphones, you won't regret it!

Sony = one of the best.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable. I bought my girlfriend a pair of Klipsch on-ear headphones a few years ago that she used mostly for flights. Her ears would get sore, so I decided to give my brother the Klipsch and buy her a set of these. She loves them. They sound a bit better and have noise-cancelling.

best to get on sale
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.for what you’re getting, this is in line with the more premium wireless headphones however I cannot justify the msrp. I would say wait for this pair to go on sale if you really want it. There are more cheaper options but this is one of the best wireless headphones you can get on the market.

Did you hear that?
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it! I was sceptical of noise cancelling headphones, so I took a shot in the dark after a bit of comparisons online. I couldnt personally go out at test any, but I highly recommended before buying based on each persons' preferences. I have larger ears and it comfortably sits over them for extended periods of time. Sound quality is great and noise cancelation takes me to a deeper dimension of my dissociation.

Good headphones, slightly cheap feeling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, excellent noise cancelling. Touch controls aren't exactly my favorite but these headphones make up for it everywhere else. Only real complaint is the headband feels a lot cheaper than the older WH-1000XM3s, instead of soft touch plastic it's a really awful feeling scratchy kind. Not encouraging at nearly $300

Nice color
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. They are easy to set up and use. They connect to my TV automatically when I turn them on, unlike my previous set where I had to connect through settings every time. The sound is really good. I got these on sale for $279 and they are worth it. The midnight blue sold at Best Buy make them really stylish.

Best Value and Audio Quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best over the ear headphones ive ever owned. Great sound quality and they are super comfortable. Noise cancelling is great but would be better if the transparency mode was a little better sound can be a little muffled and hard to hear compared to AirPods Max or standard Air Pods Transparency modes.
