Great sound and setting customization
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great so far! Sound quality is very nice and the controllable settings in the app are fantastic! The only thing that is not great is that it kind of falls forward if I lean over, even on the tightest setting.

So worth it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven't owned over-ear headphones in years but I'm getting tired of earbuds. Switched from Galaxy Buds Pro 2 to these and I don't regret it. They're not the most intuitive for touch control but once you figure it out it's very simple. Love the volume control option. I would recommend these for sure.

Great headphone and plenty of features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Builds on the XM3 and adds more to what's already great. No issues with it at all. Only thing that can get a little annoying are the various movement profiles since sometimes I'll be moving a little bit which will trigger a profile movement change

Solid Sony headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product from Sony. Noise cancelling is wonderful and the controls on the earphones are easier to use than our Bose QC45's. Taking away a star due to not being as comfortable on the head as the Bose.

Better than Bose 700
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive, but better than bose 700. Sony sound quality is better and does not nickel and dime you for every little thing like bose. Bose is selling a portable usb link to help with the connectivity of the bose 700. They are trying to make more money by solving a problem in their headphones, which is the connectivity. Sony headphones connect to my pc, but bose 700 glitches.
