Best purchase of 2020
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely fantastic headphones. The earcups are very soft and comfortable. The headphones are not so tight that they hurt my head after a few hours. They are tight enough that they stay on securely when I move my head about, though. The headband's cushion is comfortable and don't flatten my hair. I've been wearing these every day for my 8-hour work from home days and can confirm that the battery life, sound quality, and comfort are top notch. Noise cancellation is excellent and even when I'm listening to quiet classical music I can't hear my family talk right next to me. Absolutely fantastic. Pairing with my iphone xr was a breeze with the matching sony headphones app.

Perfect headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best ANC headphones hands down! I reviewed and researched numerous websites, reviews. And actual in-store listening as my daughter is a researcher and needed headphones that would allow her quiet and serenity in the lab, writing reports, analyzing data, or studying in her favorite coffee shop and she gave 6 out of 5 stars! Also, crystal clear call clarity and awesome music performance from Taylor Swift to hip-hop. She loves them and is seriously considering the WF1000MX6 earbuds for her workouts and running. Highly recommended!

Best for Noise Cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have noise cancelling like no other. Highly recommend if you get easily over stimulated. I use these where-ever I go and it has a nice battery life. I also like how you can customize your sound. You can adjust the bass, treble, and all in between. I’m no audiophile but to my average person ears they’re amazing. It is pricey but a good investment. I see myself using these for years to come.

Best headset ever!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony headset is so comfortable to wear. After 16 hrs on a plane, my ears don’t ache because of the supreme padding. I bought Bose, which are supposed to be the best, don’t waste your money on the Bose. The Sony really is noise cancellation! Even screaming babies & loud crying kids on a plane were silenced. I will buy another Sony headset.

The best headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality of these headphones are very breathtaking. You can hear the bass flow through your heart with every beat. Another thing, the noise cancellation is very outstanding. You can't hear absolutely anything with these headphones which is very amazing if you're in a public space. Overall very amazing on every aspect. They won't let you down.

Great cans!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are awesome headphones. The blue ones are beauties too. Comfortable, easy to use, great sound and the noise canceling is soooo sweet. I just took a flight and now I gotta buy a pair for my wife. You can listen at low volume during a flight and not miss a thing. I almost went with the Bose QC II but I’m really glad I didn’t. Everyone says they’re more comfortable, but I’ve got a pretty big melon and I can rock these for 4-5hours while studying no problem. Just get them. Only con is they drop the Bluetooth every now and then. Whatever, takes 10 seconds to reconnect and get back on my way and it’s not often enough to really bother me.

The features are actually good!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was between this and a set of Bose headphones, and for the price these were at during purchase, the amount of features were hard to say no to. In store, Bose seemed more comfortable, but I adapted to these very quickly and love them. I can wear them for hours on end and not hear my husband be loud when he games :).

beautiful design and premium sound
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great looking headphones. Online they look more pinkish, and I really didn't want that. But in person its a much more premium stone grey collor with nice gold accents. It looks less feminine in person than it does online. Probably the best noise cancelling. I can't hear a thing and the multidevice connect is nice because i can have both of my pcs connected to the headphones at the same time. Sony's app is really helpful too as you can have every device there so you can quickly jump to all of them when you need to. The battey life though is the best, especially since i am always forgetting to charge up my stuff i don't have to worry with these

Really good but can do without the touch buttons.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good, love the fact it uses USB C like all my other devices and allows wired audio cable for my desktop that doesn't have Bluetooth. Noise cancelation and battery is pretty impressive. Can do without the touch buttons, the slightest bump pauses, skips... the music/Video.
