Great ANC but gets HOT
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC is great. Sound is good. Bass struggles when it gets really loud. Earcups just sounded muffled. Transparency is ok. I still had to lift up a side to hear the conversation. Touch controls are acceptable. Can be sensitive sometimes. My main issue is that this thing gets HOT on the ears. Definitely buy it on sale if you are dead set on getting it.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great present for my birthday. Got around Christmas on a good sale and after lots of research i got these for me and the boise for my daughter. She loves her but I like mine better. Also comfortable to wear and if my husband’s snoring gets to bad i put them on and it’s quiet even without the music

Excellent sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice headphones, excellent sound quality and noise canceling. Only complaint I have is to get them to recharge. When you plug in the charger It'll charge for 30 seconds and then quit. Sometimes it takes several tries to get them to stay charging. I've heard of several other people having the same issue with them

Great Overall but a Small Software Issue
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but not great. Sometimes the ambient sound feature will turn on randomly and pause whatever you sre listening to. It doesn't happen often but it's really inconvenient when it does. Otherwise the headphones sound great and are very customizable.

Posted .Hi MichaelI, we're glad you are enjoying our product. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with your Sony unit. It appears that the issue you have is caused by the Speak-to-Chat feature. If Speak-to-Chat is enabled beforehand, the Speak-to-Chat mode starts automatically when you talk to someone. The headset pauses or mutes the music which is being played and captures the voice of the person you are conversing with on the microphone to make it easier to hear. You can disable this feature by following this link:

Wow
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I put these headphones on and turned them on the white noise made me feel like I was alone. The sound quality while playing dance music was unparallel. I will definitely enjoy these for work purposes only ahem.. the USB C cord is pretty small in length but it charges quickly. The ear customization settings for better sound quality was mind blowing

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 :)

Great noise cancelling over ear head phones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got it as a gift for my son. He loves it. We did test several at the store before deciding on this one. Seems to have the best noise cancelling capabilities of others in similar price point.

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.

Nice
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a nice feature packed headphone. I am NOT giving 5 stars is only because of this one option missing which i need a lot which is there is no option to switch between the connected devices. Ex: I use these headphones with my Cell phone and Laptop so it would have been better if there was some button which allows you to switch to previously paired devices which my Bose Sound Sport ear phones do rather than going to the device and connecting.
