A great Bose option
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had 3 pairs of Bose headsets over the past 30 years. They are certainly great especially for air travel. I recently updated to the newest Bose headset and was a bit disappointed at the lack of features compared to what Sony offered. I returned them and bought the Sony. Everyone has different sound preferences, but to me the Sony sounded a bit better and have more features at the same price point. They even seemed more durable. Also, no proprietary Bose connectors. Great case. I think Bose has fallen behind in keeping up their innovation over the last few years. Perhaps success has caused them to think they don’t need to keep up with the market and rely on name only.

Very good buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is really good and the multi-connecting really helps. The battery is really good. The noise cancellation and mics are top class. Someone looking for premium headphones can go for these. I think the main con will be the speak to chat. I always keep it disable. Overall it's been more than a month and I am really happy with the product.

These headphones saved my sanity
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these so much, the noise cancelling has been a lifesaver! I was struggling with some noise issues at home as well as at work; the in-ear buds I had been wearing were starting to cause some pain in my ears so my sister suggested these headphones since her husband had the older model and had sung their praises. The price tag was a little daunting but I decided to go for it - and I don't regret it one bit! I haven't completely mastered the controls yet, but I can turn the noise cancelling on and off and that's the biggest thing for me. For work, sitting around the house, and travelling, I highly recommend!

Great for sensory control!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As someone who has issues with auditory sensory overload, noise control is very important to me and I didn’t feel like my old headphones were quite doing the job so I was on the hunt for a new pair. I had decided on these after comparing reviews, specs and details on these, the Solo Pros and Bose headphones. One of their best features in conjunction with the noise control is the sliding scale that can let’s you choose how much background noise you’re comfortable with in any given situation. You’re also able to connect to several Bluetooth situations at once which I love. The only thing holding me back, to be perfectly honest, was the price so I kept my eye on them waiting for a solid sale price and I’m glad I did!

Simply Awesome Get these Cans!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok I own Beats StudI 3, Power Beats 3, Bowers & Wilkins PX7 and P5, Bose Soundsport, Bose Buds and now Sony M4 and I'm shocked how great the sound. The Ultimate Test Luther Vandross - Evergreen, Impossible Dream and of course Superstar (Live). Wow found app setting on the equalizer "Voice" it reduces the instruments and elevates the vocals - Simply Smooth; Take it to another level set the EQ on "Excited ." Prepare to be blown away. They run close with the Jabra but because the are over the ear better reduction of noise.

Sony Headphone really good.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best purchased so far. ANC is surprisingly good. One verdict is that it's hot while wearing for a long time, but feels better than an in-ear headphone in terms of comfort.

Very happy & always looking for excuse to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really a 4.7 only because they are not quite as comfortable as I would like. Can't wear them for more than hour (think podcasts). Dual pairing is brilliant (phone and TV) and swaps between devices automatically and effortlessly. I like the layout of the new app as well. Not a good a Philips Hue but way better than Sonos. Oh and yah they sound really good too :) I got them for $100 off with a my $50/yr membership!!! (so worth it).
