Audiophile Wonder
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony is known for high end audio, and this is no exception! Even better than the MX3, the bass is really deep, and the high end is clear with easily discernible vocal notes. You can hear instruments individually, not all meshed together. This really makes a difference in your enjoyment of music! I was considering the Bose 700, but Sony offers so much more flexibility on their app to let you control the performance. You won't be disappointed in this choice!

Great noise cancellation and sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have excellent sound quality and the noise cancelling lives up to its reputation as best-in-class. The headphones are also very comfortable (I wear them for between 2 and 4 hours several times a week). I cannot recommend these highly enough, especially if you can catch them on sale. I'm not a big fan of the app, but I also haven't used it very much. I primarily use these while on my computer, which works well.

Great upgrade to my old QC 15 headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went back and forth between these and the Bose 700 headphones. I am really glad I bought the Sony Headphones. These headphones are very light and comfortable to wear over long periods of time. The noise cancelling is superb. I love the feature where the music and noise cancelling will stop and ambient noise is increased when I begin speaking. very easy to pair with various devices.

One of my Best Purchases!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is fantastic and the noise canceling is top notch. I’ve gotten used to the touch controls. One of my favorite features is the connection to 2 devices. I switch between my iPhone 12 Pro and IPAD seamlessly. I created my own equalizer setup in the app and use it all the time. The case is handy and it is a quality built case. Battery life works as advertised. Just put on Shazam’s top 100 (Apple Music) sit back and enjoy.

Buy them if you can get them for the right price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros -Sounds great. This is how I want to listen to music. -Noise cancelation works great. Negates alot of sound although not as much as I thought without music playing. - Innovative app. Cons - Speak to Chat feature is gimmicky. If you sing along to songs like I do then it is practically useless you use it for podcasts. - Touch controls don't react sometimes. Toss ups - I don't feel like the Battery last the advertised 30 hours but its good enough.
