Almost Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are only 2 flaws that I've experienced with the product so far. 1. When I remove the left ear cup from my ear, the track skips. 2. It's annoying having to adjust the ANC and Ambient Noise settings every time I power the headsets back on. Other than that, the cans are comfortable and sound great.

Posted .Hi Kingaling, we're glad that you like the comfort and sound quality of the headphones. In the factory setting, the built-in proximity sensor in the left unit and the built-in acceleration sensors in each of the left and right units detect when the headset is attached to or removed from your ears, and the headset automatically controls the touch sensor control panel’s operation, powering off, pausing music playback, etc. (Wearing detection).
Your feedback about the ANC and Ambient Sound settings is greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.

Drop the coin, worth it
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dropped the coin for these to tune out the GF on a late night. They work better than expected. But I digress. I am a late 40s male and hard of hearing. At first I wanted to turn the volume up louder than these headphones would allow. Then I settled in. It's worth the wait. No outside nose from happy miss yappy pants. The music just sounded better. I've had these for almost a year now, and they work soo great that I kicked the GF, her un ambitioned kid and a yapppy dog out of my house. Yet, I still wear these headphones and enjoy the beautiful sound.

Best headphones ever!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth every penny spent on these headphones!!! The only thing I would like to see change is they don’t come with a charging block (not a big deal), the usb cord is SUPER short, and for the money you would think they would have a nicer case. All nit picking stuff. That’s how AMAZING these headphones are!!! The headphones themselves are hands down the best headphones I have ever owned and in my humble opinion the best on the market. The sound quality is AWESOME and the noise canceling is AMAZING. They even canceled out the noise of a concrete saw cutting through 12” and 14” of concrete. Like they worked better than ear plugs!!! Highly recommend!!!
