Sony over the ear
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed something to replace AirPods that went over the ear. Great sound and paired with app makes for a better experience. Fit great and comfortable over the ear, have to get used to the noise cancellation but have worn for hours with no issues. Easy controls and cover to mute function is great

The Last Headphones You'll Ever Buy
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these every day. I sit, walk and workout while wearing them and can wear them up to 4-6 hours. They can get a little warm when doing cardio, but any over-ear headphones will have that result. I've even dropped them a few times and haven't had any issues. They're the highest quality headphones on the mass market and I'm more than likely going to purchase the earbud version of these. The app integration is seamless for controlling levels & details (both on apple and android.) You can plug them in the aux or bluetooth it up, either way the sound is clear no matter what. Love these.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using things headphones for work and I will say it's worth the money. I use these headphones for work and and can say these headphones exceeded my expectations. They're comfortable and can be used non-stop for 8+ work days without causing any headaches, or sweat. The audio is crisp and with the app I can change the mode settings based on my location to see how much noise cancellation I want. The headphones come with a small travel case, aux cable (if you don't want to use bluetooth), and a charger. Con: The microphone isn't the best Pro: I have 4 budgies and have been able to block them out thanks to these headphones when I'm working!

Perfect headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. Excellent bass, yet clear vocals. I use it for rap music, but all other music sounds excellent. I am using them wired mostly, so I cannot comment on the use of the noise canceling yet. But I have tried it out, and it blocks out a lot of noise. Beautiful matte look in midnight blue. I love the case and accessories. The only issue I can point out is the top of my head hurts a bit from the headband after an hour use, but its not enough to knock a star off. The ear pads are very plush and comfy.

Best purchase of 2020
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely fantastic headphones. The earcups are very soft and comfortable. The headphones are not so tight that they hurt my head after a few hours. They are tight enough that they stay on securely when I move my head about, though. The headband's cushion is comfortable and don't flatten my hair. I've been wearing these every day for my 8-hour work from home days and can confirm that the battery life, sound quality, and comfort are top notch. Noise cancellation is excellent and even when I'm listening to quiet classical music I can't hear my family talk right next to me. Absolutely fantastic. Pairing with my iphone xr was a breeze with the matching sony headphones app.

Best looking headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a college student, I have used these headphones almost every day walking from class to class as well as studying. They have the best sound and bass you'll find in any other headphone and they also work extremely well when working out. My favorite thing about them is that they are stylish. A lot of other headphones stick out and look too big on your head but these are slim and work amazing.
