Best Headphone

Locks out external noise perfectly on airplanes and makes watching movies and listening to music a pleasure. It also transfers seamlessly between my iPad and my cell phone.

Just wow
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m sure you’ve heard how well the headphones are already so I’m gonna keep it short: Save up for it if you can, do 4 installment payment method, something! These headphones are so worth it! I’m a noise canceling QUEEN and these headphones deliver one of the best sounds I’ve ever had. With Apple airpod max you might get great sound as well but one thing about apple accessories is that they don’t last long. These Sonys will literally last you forever and the app literally allows you to customize your liking on how you want your audio and the clearity mode makes you hear everything it’s quite amazing.

Best Headphones Ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! The noise cancellation feature works great. Even if you don't want to listen to music, just having the noise-cancellation feature on is amazing for blocking out outside noise. The only thing is that the sound does leak if you are in a very quiet area if the volume is around 75% full volume. These work great for working out, however, if I'm doing pilates or yoga, they tend to slip. Totally recommend buying them. I bought them during the time that amazon had their prime sale, so I was able to get them cheaper!

Love these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend who loved them! Finds the side control features fascinating as well as the noise cancelling. Would recommend keeping in its case it comes in — I have my own which the skin has started peeling a bit because I didn’t take extra good care of them but that’s on me. Still going strong for 2 years!!
