Excellent Noise cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been using this headphone for past nine months and Sony never let me down. It's very handy and not heavy. The box provided is awesome and holds this well. Noise cancelling feature is great and when you speak it recognizes your voice and holds the audio. Volume can be adjusted on the headphone with fingers. That's kind of cool. Love this headphone

9/10 if you ask me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are probably the best headphones i’ve bought. Personally, I love how you can customize the sound and the bass when listening to music. It’s like like I can hear each instrument while also being able to hear the song. Only thing I don’t like is that I can’t connect them to my PS5 via bluetooth, using the cord can be annoying at times.

10/10 Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I adore these. Super comfy lasts for days of occasional listening or about two ish days of almost non stop listening. I really like the app and the different sound profiles that are premade and available. The noise canceling is amazing also. It’s not 100% but it sure tries its hardest to give it to you.

Great headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for myself because i wanted a good pair of headphones, and every review i seen said these are the best. The noise canceling is great, and doesn’t make your head feel a ton of pressure the way my Airpods Pro do. They also sound great! And i love that i can easily adjust the equalizer. The battery also last a long time!

best over the ear headphones I've ever had
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best over the ear headphones I have used, worth the cost. Easy to wear for hours, excellent sound and excellent noise cancellation as well. I have an in-the-ear-canal set of Etymotics (ER4) with ear molds that are also excellent, but after an hour or two they start to irritate me. This headset is light and no irritation.

Very pleased with these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is good, I am partial to Sony tuning. Microphone works on calls, but listeners tell me noises around me are amplified. I find wind noise while outside is distracting a bit to me. My first pair of nose canceling cans, I'm impressed by the technology. The connectivity is phenomenal, very easy, works every time no problem with my android phone.
