Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was absolutely amazed how clear the music is and the noise cancelling feature was amazing how well it worked. There so many options just a little to high-tech for me, I got the hang of them after messing with them. Way better than the Beats Sony dollar for dollar the BEST!!!!!

Amazing Headphones - You won't regret it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones by Sony! I had the lower model before this and debated spending more money for the upgrade and really glad I did. Comes with a nice case for storage and they're extremely durable! I workout about 5 days/week and they are used every time I'm in the gym. Excellent noise cancelation quality and so easy to adjust your equalizer as well from the app. I love these and would absolutely recommend them!

Mixed Bag
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfort: 4/5 Comfortable on my big head. Not as comfortable as the Bose 700 but much more comfortable than the B&W PX7. Sound: 3/5 Where's the midrange? Vocals are severely lacking compared to Bose 700. While disproportionate to the mid range, The bass is strong but well controlled. (I did not try equalizing the sound.). More importantly as the lack of a sound stage. As a whole these headphones have the opposite sonic profile of open-back headphones, such as my gold-standard Sennheiser HD 580s. In the end I exchanged the for the Shure Aonic 50s, which have a more open, neutral, and fuller sound. Noise canceling: 3/5 Good at reducing external noise but not quite up to par with the Bose 700. It should be noted that the noise-canceling can exert a fair amount of ear pressure. My wife got totally freaked out by this and literally ripped these off of her head. Lastly, at the highest noise setting there's noticeable audible audio artifacts including very slight "crackling."
