One Word: Awesome!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little background, I have been enjoying my silence in the office during the lockdown as most people either be working from home or coming in shifts thereby creating an extremely peaceful work environment. Fast forward a couple of months, people showing up in the office increased exponentially and so did all the gossips they had to share. So I bought these headphones on a whim. There hasn't been a single day in the office that I have not used them. They are amazing in all respects. Let start in the order of qualities I appreciate in them. ANC: The best feature of these headphones for me is the active noise cancellation. All the chatter and bs is just blocked to the point where you can enjoy a dumbed-down version of the silence. Make no mistake, they will not completely make your environment similar to pin-drop silence but be rest assured you shall feel the difference for sure. Battery: I don't care about the numbers but there hasn't been a single day that I have run out of the juice in them. That doesn't mean they won't but just means if you are judicious enough to keel an eye on the battery and keep charging for a couple of hrs, you are good. In case you do forget, good old wired technology is for your rescue. Sound: It's SONY, enough said. The sound quality is amazing. The sound stage is wide, well balanced, and yes the EQ does come in handy for a bass lover like me. Build quality: You get what you pay for, so since you paying the premium you do get lightweight, well build headphones. The headband is comfortable. The ear cups have the right amount of cushion and do not get bothersome even after 10hrs of use. That is the max I have tried on a single stretch. The ANC feature can make you feel a little uncomfortable with weird pressure feeling but I could live with it for 10hrs. EXTRA: Speak to chat, amazing function when in office worst when you are at home and your jam comes on. The touch on the right ear cup is flawless. Every time I want to execute a function, it is done. Final: I would highly recommend this investment.

Traded my Bose 45s for these!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned my Bose 45s for these, and I’m super glad I did! I got the blue pair when I wanted the black, because they didn’t have them. I gave it a try anyway. These are far superior! The ease of connection, the swipe to control the music without touching my phone, and you hold your hand over the cuff to cancel the noise control. I love these and wear them at home, work and the gym! If your considering these- don’t hesitate! You’ll love them! They are very light and even after hours I am not sweaty at all. The app is easy to use also. Thanks Best Buy!

Great new color! Same great sound.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great new color! I have a few Sony over ear headphones, and these are the latest pair. They offer great overall sound. The highs are high and the bass is palpable! Another great offer for this set is that the battery life has been extended further. I have paired these with many items so far, and the customization offered by the app is just outstanding. These are a great investment for those who travel, like NC, or for people who just enjoy headphones that provide excellent sound quality. I got these on sale. If you see these on sale grab them quickly.

Best headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are absolutely incredible. The sound quality is top-notch, and the noise-cancelling feature is a game-changer. It blocks out almost all ambient noise, making them perfect for travel or just focusing on work. They are also extremely comfortable to wear for long periods. I highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a premium audio experience.

Can't Travel Without
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are so much better than I had anticipated and hoped! I used them for a flight to Australia from the US (New York) and it was the best decision I made. They are lightweight, easy to set up with a phone or iPad, came with cables to plug into the plane seats so I could enjoy movies with my own headphones, and just overall have great sound quality and noise canceling. I honestly don’t think I could have made it through the long-haul flight without these headphones. When I took them off to talk with my partner, it was night and day in terms of noise. I was incredibly surprised with the noise canceling qualities and before coming back my partner bought a pair of headphones as well. The only downside, for me, is that they are slightly loose since my head seems to be a bit too small (I don’t have the top band resting tightly on my head if I want perfect placement for the ear cups) but overall, that is something I could look past since I don’t plan to do anything incredibly physical with them on.

It is comfortable and convenient to carry around! I recommend these headphones!

Good value worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had no problems pairing with my TV. Though it seems to be a bit of a hassle to pair with a second item. Can be done, but not worth it to do right now for me. Audio range and sound are good. Not as nice, crisp or dynamic as my Monster DNA headphones (but they are wired). They are quite comfortable, can wear them for hours binge watching TV. Which is what I got them for - being up late watching TV without disturbing others in the household. Battery life is great! Could binge a few days on a full charge. I only need to charge once a week. Packaging and quality are good. Was not interested/concerned with noise canceling, but now that I have it, it is nice. Works well. Was not even aware of it at first, but one time I removed them and realized all the noise it had been removing (furnace, clothes dryer, ext.) Very aware of how much this does now and appreciate the feature. Not having to adjust the volume up or down every time the furnace kicks on or off is nice.

Outstanding wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My main purpose, in buying these headphones, was to get excellent sound quality in a wireless setting. These certainly provide that. The noise cancelling is very good as well. The headphones are also very comfortable and reasonably light, comparable to my wired headphones. Battery life is quite amazing- I can go 1-2 weeks without charging. It appears well made, with a quality feel (esthetically not super exciting, but that is OK) The 360 audio feature is nice, but I am perfectly satisfied without it- limited to a few sources (like Tidal, with premium level subscription), and not worth it for me. Movies sound great. Highly recommended.

They’ll bring your music to life!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. They bring tracks that I have listened to countless times to life and shine a light on details that I never noticed before. That may sound poetic lol but it’s true! They’re very comfortable, although my ears get a little warm while wearing them inside where there’s air conditioning. However, these are my first over-the-ear headphones and maybe that’s the way it is with all of them? Call quality is not very good so if that’s very important to you I would consider other options. The app interface and customizable settings are great, and so is the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously. Highly recommend.

Great all-around option for gaming/work
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been great. Reliable, comfy, and good sound -- perhaps not audiophile quality but perfect for basically anyone else. The comfort is the most important thing for me, since I work a desk job and game. These are supremely comfy even for 2 or 3 hour meetings, and the battery lasts a long time and recharges very quickly. The software support is acceptable (although clunky) but the defaults out of the box are fine.
