How can this get any better for the money?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A Christmas gift buy for my son. After a little coaxing he finally let me try them. I’ve been involved in a lot of sound system set ups and tuning over the past 30+ years and these things are amazing! These headphones are the closest thing to complete theater sound attached to your head I’ve ever seen. The frequency range is awesome !!!

I have tried a lot of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality on these are amazing . I love the feature of being able to cup the ear and hear what's going on especially at airports. I love the fact that when you take them off your ears it pauses whatever you're listening to are watching. The only thing that I didn't like about these that I didn't realize at first is when I turn the volume up to listen to something my wife could hear it clearly sitting on the other end of the couch. For me that part defeats the purpose especially when we fly.

The folding Sony to buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The xm3s refined and that what I wanted. Fits tighter and doesn't squeak when I put it on. Auto off when you take them off is great. Still fold for small compact package unlike the 5s. I think the battery is slightly less than the 3s but it does more.

Good noise cancelling, ok software
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are really good headphones. I got them for travel on a plane to drown out some of the noise. They do a good job of that. They are uncomfortable to wear with a mask as the cups press against the string and after a while, it hurts. Without the mask they are ok. I would imagine any headphones would have that issue these days. The sound is great. I do wish they had the Apple chip in them so they would integrate better with my iPhone.

Best Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best sounding headphones i’ve heard. Used them on a trip to Hawaii need less to say lots of time on an airplane. Easy noise cancellation that made it perfect to either watch movies or take a nap. Quality is better than the aipod over the ears and pro’s.

He had complained that he was having a hard time hearing with his current earphones. I researched and Sony and Bose were the top picks. My son raved about them so much that for the holidays, I purchased one for my husband as well.

Sony is 2nd to none!

The sound quality is superb, the app is good and the intuitive ability is pretty amazing. Well worth the purchase. I purchased the blue ones on the same day i purchased the black ones, for the grandson. He feels exactly like i do about this headset. Great job, Sony!

Wanted to love them
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really was excited about these headphones. I’ve had my Bose QC35-II headphones for a few years and looking for better sound quality and audio during phone calls. I will say that with the EQ settings available, the sound quality was much better than my Bose. However, I had lots of connectivity issues with my iPhone 11 Pro and my latest generation iPad Pro. It would frequently stop working in the middle of movies or music and would have to resync them. If that was all, I probably could have lived with it as I’m sure they will fix some of those issues in firmware. But, the call quality just wasn’t there. I always sounded hollow/electronic to the people I was speaking with. Maybe this will also be fixed in a firmware upgrade, but at $349 that’s just too much to hope that they fix it. I really like the look, sound quality and features of the Sony’s, but do r now I’ll head back to Bose for their updated version and hope that someday the Sony’s can get their firmware better.
