Very good, but not the best.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good sound, but not excellent. I prefer the quality of the Bose 700 by a substantial margin. The one area where these headphones excel is the bass. The sony app is also inferior to the Bose Music app. I frequently had issues with disconnections, especially when trying to pair multiple devices (my MacBook Pro and iPhone).

Very nice...and the blue doesn't hurt either....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality LDAC, excellent ANC, and utilize the wired connection for a better sound option (saves battery life as well). Got the midnight blue. I had the XM3s and no real difference...except if you need multi-point connections.

- Cons mentioned:Volume
Good but not loud enough
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound very good, lots of good features. But despite all that, they do not have good volume. All songs on all platforms i listen at 100% and still wish they would go louder. Im well versed in electronics and tweaked all settings. But alas, still weak at 100% volume. Would have been perfect if were louder. Will be returning them tomorrow. Not worth the high price tag if you cannot enjoy your music.

Posted .Hi S007V,
We're glad that you like the amazing features of the headphones particularly the sound quality. It's unfortunate that you are already looking to return the headphones because the volume is not living up to your expectations. Make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
Reconnecting the Bluetooth device to the headset once again may also help improve volume issues.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.

Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best headphones hands down. The cushion starts to peel and tear after a few years. Similar to a fake leather couch when it loses the look.

Great sound and long lasting battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. I upgraded from the mx3 because of the ability to connect two bluetooth items at once. To my untrained ear they sound really close to the mx3 which isn't a bad thing at all.
