Great but hmm.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and connectivity. Some laptops may have issues connecting. I added a bluetooth 4.0 dongle and it worked fine but when a call rings when connected to both the phone and Laptop while using microsoft teams I notice that the Laptop switches to the laptop microphone which if you are not aware public will hear you very low. I know it is a microsoft issue. It would been better if the cable for wired connection would have had a micropone so that in this case we could just go fully two way comunication wired . I did it by purchasing a cable and a Lavalier Mic and a spliting cable for both headphones and Mic. Another good feature would have been to have bluetooth connected to the phone and have audio and mic wired to the laptop . Again both devices can be connected via bluetooth and works great but the laptop is not reliable.

Amazing noise cancelling, best purchase for WFH
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are quite pricey but the noise cancelling capabilities are truly high quality, better than Bose in my opinion. I'm still getting used to the voice command feature, as the headphones sometimes pause to listen when I'm singing along to music. The tech is overall really advanced and convenient. I like that I can connect it to both my phone and laptop, but I sometimes have a hard time transitioning back and forth, especially when when I try to pick up a phone call and am video chatting on my laptop, but that will likely get easier with tie

Exceptional
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these primary for air travel. They are phenomenal! It drowns all the annoying sounds. They fold up well and hold a charge exceptionally well. Pairing with two devices is seemless and no issues working with my iPhone/iPad.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly I saw a lot of reviews about these headphones and was influenced. But I could care less because THEY ARE WORTH UR MONEY. It can last days a couple days with full charge. The noise cancelling does work really well and the ambient sound feature allows me to hear things when I’m outside, so that itself is convenient. Overall 10/10. Absolutely love!

What a refresing sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always wanted these headphones as I knew the quality of sound. I have to say I am more than impressed with them. They are comfortable, look nice and the sound is breathtaking. Walking around with them is so good as you don't miss any notes in the music. I have to say I own a pair of BOSE you guys have to work hard to compete with SONY this time. I am retiring all the other headphones I own and keeping this one alone. The price is not bad at all. They do not look cheap.

Just dooooooeeeeet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great. Love the sound quality and the ANC is tooop notch. There was a garbage truck going crazy outside of the empty warehouse I'm working inside of, and I cycled into noise cancelling...Holy crap it's like it wasn't even there. Great buy, fantastic battery compared to my WF-1000XM3 earbuds I got a year or so back. If you can spring for these, definitely do it. Paired easily with my iPhone and Macbook Pro both with and without the app. App is also much improved from my first experiences.

Huh What Did You Say
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't that impressed at first, but they got better and better. First time I really used them was for a flight from Atlanta to New Jersey, to West Africa. I probably used them for a total of about 6 hours and when I landed they were still at 90 percent power. On the flight back someone had to wave to get my attention because I couldn't hear the passenger that was 3 feet away from me that was trying to get my attention.

Amazing Overall
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best wireless, noise cancelling headphones out there imo. These are a big step up from the XM2s which I owned previously The sound quality is great as you would expect. Comfortable and minimal. The only nitpicks I have are with a couple of features, *speak to chat* & *pause when headphones are taken off*. The ladder is nice when it works, which is most times, but not all. Speak to chat however has become annoying. Its very sensitive to noise, not just your voice. Also it seems to activate even when switched off in settings.

Sony Vs Apple
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great! Noise cancellation is amazing. I picked them up for sale and now I got my dad some for the original price. They are the older versions apparently but I think they are in competition with the Apple Max’s I previously used for sure
