Wanna drown out your office and focus on work?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for a noisy workplace! I wear glasses and have a huge head and these do not cause pain after extended period of wearing. I wear them throughout most of the day and have to charge after every third or so. The quality of the sound is very nice although I am no hi fi expert. But these are definitely the nicest pair of head phones I now own. I was previously using some Bose over the ear head phones and they were okay but old and didn’t have noise cancelling which is what I wanted. The blue is a really elegant dark hue and was hesitant that I didn’t get black but seeing them in person I have no more quarrel with that. The price isn’t too bad for what they are.

Very solid headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I'm quite happy with these headphones. Sound quality is excellent and can be tailored to your individual preferences using the Sony headphones app. They are smooth sounding and can get plenty loud. The noise cancelation is simply superb and also adjustable via the app. Comfort is also top notch. No issues wearing them for extended period of time. I wish Sony had included AptX support, but it's not a big deal. The only negatives are that they've shut off twice without prompting (while listening), and I can't use the highest bandwidth setting for LDAC without the sound cutting in and out with my Samsung S10+. This is fixed by using a lower bandwidth setting which is fine. Love these headphones.

Perfect for work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife absolutely loves these, and they're helping her concentrate at work! She charges them about once a week and they last her. She even brought them on vacation to distract herself during my driving shifts. Love love LOVE the color. In fact I accidentally ordered the black and had to return them and get the blue.

Great choice prev gen noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are comfortable on the ear, have excellent noise cancellation, and top sound quality when using Tidal Hi-Fi Plus listening. I give them a four-star rating because I can't get used to the touch sensitive controls and I still prefer physical buttons on the edge of an ear cup. Also they infrequently loose Bluetooth connection at random times, however I suspect his is my phone and not the headphones. They were a welcome upgrade from my older pair of Sony headphones with older USB-micro connection. Definitely worth the purchase when on sale.

Best looking headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a college student, I have used these headphones almost every day walking from class to class as well as studying. They have the best sound and bass you'll find in any other headphone and they also work extremely well when working out. My favorite thing about them is that they are stylish. A lot of other headphones stick out and look too big on your head but these are slim and work amazing.

The Last Headphones You'll Ever Buy
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these every day. I sit, walk and workout while wearing them and can wear them up to 4-6 hours. They can get a little warm when doing cardio, but any over-ear headphones will have that result. I've even dropped them a few times and haven't had any issues. They're the highest quality headphones on the mass market and I'm more than likely going to purchase the earbud version of these. The app integration is seamless for controlling levels & details (both on apple and android.) You can plug them in the aux or bluetooth it up, either way the sound is clear no matter what. Love these.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using things headphones for work and I will say it's worth the money. I use these headphones for work and and can say these headphones exceeded my expectations. They're comfortable and can be used non-stop for 8+ work days without causing any headaches, or sweat. The audio is crisp and with the app I can change the mode settings based on my location to see how much noise cancellation I want. The headphones come with a small travel case, aux cable (if you don't want to use bluetooth), and a charger. Con: The microphone isn't the best Pro: I have 4 budgies and have been able to block them out thanks to these headphones when I'm working!
