Good for a year…
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent for at least a year with everyday use. Then it made a screeching feedback sound that hurt my already sensitive ears. Going to Geek Squad for help.

Would’ve kept if they were cheaper!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked these a lot, but definently overpriced. (I own expensive stuff I don’t mind spending money on quality). They feel easily breakable and not super comfortable on the ears. Sound quality pretty good in to comparison to Bose and beats. Noise cancellation is really awesome although I notice a high pitch sound that kind of makes the cancellation not as satisfactory.

Great ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones sound great to me, but the ANC is where they really shine. They outperform my old Beats Studio 3’s in ANC performance. It’s also nice being able to up load EQ settings into the headphone.

I got mine on sale and it is just great! I will say the only annoying part is having to download the Sony app to pair it to my phone. Other than that I am pleased with it!

The hype is somewhat right.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great. It is. Im not a radiohead to speak on highs and lows. All I know is when I put on my cans, I want it to sound clear and thump where it suppose to thump. Saying that, I feel these squeeze just a bit too much for me on the head. Also, singing along to the song would sometimes cause the music to stop. I ended up taking them back and getting the Bose 700s.

Posted .Hi LDaniel, it's unfortunate you had to return these headphones despite its great sound quality. We do appreciate your feedback about it's fit. The Speak-to-Chat function can be disabled by holding your 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat deactivated”. Thanks for your review and we hope you consider Sony in your future purchase. ~Ralph
