Great Sound, Great Noise Cancelling, Comfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.And they have a bunch of cool smart features. Ear detection/auto pause on take off is something I have grown accustomed to with my AirPods and it is so nice to finally have it on my over-ear headphones too. The speak-to-talk thing is actually really useful. I had to turn off adaptive noise control after about two weeks, it kept turning on and of while working. From home, got really annoying. But that hardly changes the fact that these things are great upgrade from nearly any other headphones on the market.

Sony headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only reason 4 and not 5 stars is because I had to return the original pair because they wouldn’t charge. The first time that I tried to charge them. Other than that solid pair of headphones
