Great headphone for the value
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is great. I would have prefer if the app could be installed on multiple devices and controlled from each of the devices. Otherwise, it is a great headphone.

The multipoint connection feature allows the headphones to switch between two devices, such as answering a call on your phone while listening to music on another device, without needing to go through the normal Bluetooth reconnection process. We will certainly take your feedback into consideration for future updates. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam

Practical and stylish
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing beats these in value or style. Noise canceling is great, surround sounds makes me feel like I’m at the movies, and they make me look cool. Only feature I don’t like is the speak-to-chat. I’ve disabled it multiple times but, since my family likes to steal my headphones, it keeps reactivating. They’re easy to carry and work even better using the analog aux cable.

Super happy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones sound excellent, are feature rich and have a stylish case. The only issue I have had is that sometimes they jump to 100 percent volume when powering on and pairing with my phone. Tech support showed me how to reset the headphones but the issue creeps back in every once and a while. I’m sure they will address it in a firmware update. Other than that I am super impressed with both the sound and build quality.

Great Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading reviews I decided to purchase these headphones. Noise cancelling is the main reason I purchased these. I have a neighbor who has a stereo with a thumping bass that was penetrating the walls. I got these headphones and most of the noise was gone. Because these are bluetooth enabled I was able to have some calming music to help me sleep and that drowned out all of the noise. The sound itself is really good, too!

Stream Head Phones

Audio cancellation takes a bit to getting use to the headphones will change settings entering and exiting different environments.

Perfect ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did weeks of research looking to replace my 7+ year ANC headphones. These were generally reviewed as the best out there. I am glad to report those reviews were right. Color is fantastic and the NC is ironclad. It's changes based on what you are doing and that is very useful. Swipe motion for skipping and volume control is effective and engaging. Loved these so much that I got my girlfriend a pair too. She loves them!
