Customer Ratings & Reviews

I cannot rave about these enough. As someone with sensory sensitivities, these have been an absolute lifesaver. They are incredibly comfortable and block out an amazing amount of irritating noises and sounds. The sound quality through them is crystal clear and pristine. I wish they offered more color options! These are WORTH EVERY PENNY. Battery life is incredible on them too!

overall it had really good noise cancellation but the sound quaity could be better. really good comfort and battery life

Very comfortable, great sound quality, easy storage.

These are by far the best headphones I’ve owned. I am very sensitive to noise specially when studying, and these are perfect for canceling it. They are very comfortable, too. Battery lasts all day

I recently bought these after using the second generation version from 2017 with no issues. I didn't need to upgrade them as they were still in good shape but I passed them on to my son and got these for myself. Though my original pair were fine the upgrades on these have really improved and built on the foundation of previous gens to keep Sony top of class in noise canceling, feel and build quality. That's not to mention their rich sound. They are perfect to use in the gym and I don't have to worry about charging them every day because they have such a long battery life. I'll be enjoying these for as long or longer than my last pair from 2017!

I switched to these from your standard none-noise cancelling headphones and I must say the jump has been otherworldly. Noise cancelling works just like the words imply. You can always calibrate it with a push of a button if you find it lacking noise cancellation. Comfort is perfect. I usually wear these when taking a 20 minute nap listening to white noise. I sleep like a baby. Battery life has been phenomenal. App works great. Touch sensors work great.

I read a lot about the various wireless headphone options and decided these would work well for me. I have not been disappointed. The case is nice. Has a quality look and provides a good level of protection. The headphones look and feel high quality. Not at all blingy, more understated. The headband and ear pads are well padded and comfortable for extended listening sessions. Pairing is extremely easy. The phone app is well integrated and easy to use. The included quick start information is probably enough for most folks, but Sony has some great video's and more detailed instructions available online. There are only two physical buttons, and they feel positive and work well. The touch control using the right earpad is simple, and works well. The proximity sensor in the left ear cup pauses what you are listening to if you lift the left ear cup or take off the headphones. Holding your hand over the right ear cup mutes the level down so you can hear ambient sounds better, or have a conversation. The chat to pause feature works well, and can be turned off. If you start talking it pauses what you are listening to. The adjustment level for ambient noise works well and provides some graphic's that provide some guidance for various environments. A quick press of the power button brings a voice that tells you the battery charge status. The sound is impressive. Very impressive. I listen to a lot of high res music, I primarily use the LDAC codec and have been extremely impressed by the audio quality. Listening to high quality FLAC files you will hear nuances of the music you probably haven't heard before. LDAC really blurs the line between wired and wireless. I would recommend these to anyone that values quality audio and effective noise cancelling. Even without the superb noise cancelling these would be worthwhile for the audio performance alone. Sony got everything about these right, including the app.

Great fit, very comfortable. Lightweight and very well made. Sound quality is excellent. Bass is well balanced.

Easy to set up and great sound. Very comfortable.

Definitely noise cancelling headphones. Deliver good sound quality and are comfortable to wear.

Best headphones you will ever buy, top of the line audio, build quality is good but I would still handle with care considering they are mostly plastic. Charges fast and definitely last 30 hours without extreme mode and equalizer turned up. The pairing and the app are very simple and straight forward. Not bulky at all, on the slim side actually. Super comfortable, easy to wear for hours with little to no ear stress.

My kid loves this headset. It has of a superior sound quality and very well designed.

I have put off buying over ear headphones for a long time because I wear glasses and get headaches easily, so the thought of something clamping down on my head and resting on any pressure points really turned me off. But I've found myself going out and about more and my AirPods Pro were starting to show their age, so I grabbed these during a sale. I thought about getting the AirPods Max for awhile until I learned how much heavier they are compared to these. Lightweight was really crucial for me. I also preferred these "older" models compared to the XM5 because they fold into a smaller case. The sound is really fantastic and the noise canceling is much better. I still honestly can't wear them for a long period of time because I start to feel the pressure points on the top of my head and where they're pushing my glasses arms into my skull, but that's a me problem and not the headphones. I still use my AirPods sometimes, but these are better for flights and working in coffee shops or other noisy areas.

The sound quality and comfort is amazing for when I go to gym and do homework! Amazing battery life that I rarely ever have to worry about. Would recommend for good comfort headphones.

Got some lower quality noise cancelling headphones for Christmas (anker) but as more and more people came in the office the noise cancelling just couldn’t deal. So I did some research and after listening to co workers bose and Sonys (previous gen). I decided on the Sonys and waited for a deal to come along. Sound quality is excellent, and they are comfortable to wear. Sound reproduction is great and they are a lot more comfortable than my previous models. Features that I thought were gimmicky during initial research are actually quite nice. The music stopping when you remove the head phones or the gesture controls on the right ear, are actually super handy and make for a good experience. There is some stuff that might be useful to creatures of habit that i don’t use ie the location based settings in the Sony app. They are great headphones use the Sony app to customize to your taste and you will be happy. The case is super well built I don’t know if I will ever actually use the old two prong airline adapter but being able to use the headphones wired without a charge is a nice feature. Early in my career I worked a lot in live sound so wireless headphones were always kind of a convenient gimmick that sacrificed quality in the name of not being tied to something with a wire. These are excellent units that I use to block out the world at the office and join conference calls with excellent tool and appliance that I also enjoy.

These are the best headphones I've ever used. Don't just put them on, listen to music and decide the sound quality. With these you have to download the app and adjust the EQ to make them sound good but once you dial it in, they are fantastic. I've never once had a drop from the bluetooth connection or distortion even walking away from my phone all over a house. The noise cancellation is great too.

So far the sound quality and battery life have been great. The headset is comfortable enough to wear all day and the microphone has been working great for all my meetings as well as phone calls. I haven't had them that long so I'm still figuring things out, but being able to connect to two devices and have it pause music on my laptop to answer a phone call has been a huge help while working from home. These are an expensive pair of headphones, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Very good comfy good quality really nice I would recommend good battery life

So far, so good. I wasnt sure about purchasing the Sony product as I've bought Bose for my other audio products, but I loke these very much. Bought online so didn't have ability to compare as i would in store. Sound quality is good and i loke being able to adjust on the equalizer. The controls are easy to use, as is the app. The noise canceling is very good, but found that when i dont want it on, it sometimes automatically comes on by itself. They are Fairly comfortable and I was able to use them on a four hour flights without issue. Battery life is awesome. Overall, happy with my purchase so far.

First, the good. The sound quality is incredible. ANC works great, audio sounds fantastic and crisp out of the box. Setup is simple (as long as you are using a single device; more on this in a moment) with either a phone or a computer. The headset is lightweight and easy to wear for hours at a time. Now the bad: The touch-sensitive buttons are bad. They regularly just didn't do anything. They're unintuitively designed and feel like a bargain-brand implementation of what is considered a high-end function. The headset mode vs headphone mode is also not great. There's no way to control side-tone in headset mode, which means that the great noise cancelling function is all but useless when using it as a headset (like meetings and phone calls). Also, not being able to turn the headset on while charging is ridiculous. I am an extremely heavy user (like 6-10 of active use per day), so charging while using is critical to me. Using the headset with multiple devices is great if those devices are computers, but terrible if one is a phone. If you get a phone call while using it on a computer, the phone call takes over (without the ability to override this that I am aware of). Then to reconnect to the computer the only way I've got it to work is to turn the headphone off and on again. When I'm in the middle of a meeting, this is not ideal. If you care about audio quality above all else, it's easy to recommend, but overall usability makes this difficult to recommend to most people, especially for the premium price.
