Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise-canceling in this is amazing! I work at home and with the pandemic my kids are also home doing school. I throw these on and I can no longer hear my kids schooling and can get my work done with ease. Gaming is great with this pair with the 360 sound I can hear people from so far away that it gives me an advance in the game winning more often.

Awesome Noise cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am always a biased about Sony product when it comes to the sound quality. For me, nobody provide best sound quality than Sony. However, this headphone is even better than what I expected. Sound is so smooth and high quality that even at low volume you can hear every beats of the music. So far, I am enjoying this :)

Better than Bose
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went back and forth a few times between this and Bose, but the design of this is just better overall than the comparable Bose. Has some cool features like pause when you remove them from your head, and I like the customizable sound profiles. I owned Bose NC headphones for 6-7 years prior to these, and there's no noticeable difference in build or sound quality.

Nice Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can do a lot of controlling of these headphones through the Sony app. Love the 360 sound you can get with the Deezer app. The sound is great, I’ve heard details in tracks I’ve listened to before in these headphones I’ve never heard before. If you want a pair of good quality headphones, and don’t like Bose, or Senniheiser, these are the headphones to give a try.

The best noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best Sony noise canceling wireless headphones yet. I work in a very noisy environment, slip on these headphones, turn the noise canceling on, and I’m loss in a world of pure sound. Sony’s LDAC Bluetooth allows my HiRez music to stream without the the clarity lost by the much lower bitrate of other codecs. (My iPhone can broadcast using the LDAC codec)

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing headphones. I own A LOT of electronics, and these would be near or at top of them all. The sound quality is a 6 out of 5 (clarity and ANC). Call quality is not as great -- mic sounds muffled and the active noise cancellation (ANC) turns off -- but I just have to give these a 5.

As good as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the packaging to the actual headphones and accessories all feel premium. The sound of the actual headphones are the best in class for Bluetooth in my opinion. Only knock would be it feels like it could break east if not folded carefully.
