Glaring flaw
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoyed these headphones. Great sound, easy app, comfortable, solid battery. The biggest flaw i found, and it was the deal breaker, the sound would randomly mute itself and stayed connected. The only fix i figured out was to turn them off then back on again.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buying experience was excellent. I got a noise reduction head set for my grandson. He was willing to accept a lesser model, but the sales staff noticed the better one was on sale and a much better deal. My grandson loves it and is so happy. Total experience was easy.

Good if you know what you’re looking for
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wireless is meh, and doesnt sound the greatest, in my opinion the bose QC45 are betters sounding over bluetooth. Once plugged in though? Sony’s sound WAY better. The only real gripe i had was that the ear cup was way to shallow and i had to return it
