Headphones...
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these sony headphones. I do notice that they get my hears pretty warm and sore if you wear them for a prolonged amount of time. My advice is if you are looking for headphones that creates a great seal and you aren't planning on wearing them for a long period of time, get these. I used them on a flight from detroit to tampa and I didnt keep them on the entire time because of ear fatigue. Also the touch controls arent the best

Amazing headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are easily the best headphones I have ever owned. My only regret is that I did not buy them sooner. I love the noise cancellation and the touch controls on the right ear. The speak feature that lowers the volume and turns off ANC for a period of time is awesome, but it is not for me. If I respond and just say yea to someone it activates. Great feature, just not for me.

Don’t Sleep On These
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound! These are so underrated. The Sony headphones are excellent without all of the flash. While they’re expensive, the investment in this product is more in sound and tech vs. the look. I’ve owned Beats and these are hands down much better than any headphones I’ve ever listened to.

Better than Bose!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I haven't gotten a pair of great headphones for 15 years, it was time to update my Bose. With every intention of getting another Bose I fell in love with the Sony. Comfortable to wear, easy to hard wire to your phone or i-pod or i-pad or to set it up wireless. Love the wireless and blue tooth capabilities. Sales rep was very helpful in getting me set up.

Best noise canceling headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing bluetooth audio headset. Best noise canceling headphones out there bar none. Everyone I show these to and have them try them are blown away on the noise canceling effectiveness of them. Only con is that you cant use them for gaming on a computer/use the built in mic at the same time (bluetooth limitation in general for stereo audio/mic usage at the same time)

Best headphones for the money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to go for the best bluetooth headphones on the market and I am very happy with the purchase. My wife works from home and she needed headphones that can help her focus on her work. She consistently raves about not hearing me while I move around the house. If I try to call her name with her headphones on she has to take them off because she can't hear me.

Fantastic Headphones worth every penny.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am 80% deaf and am not able to read the fine print any longer. I listen to audible books, these headphones are the answer to transient sounds leaking around the seals of the ear muffs. I am extremely satisfied with these headphones, words cannot express my appreciation of these very comfortable and hearable headsets.
