Better than Bose
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went back and forth a few times between this and Bose, but the design of this is just better overall than the comparable Bose. Has some cool features like pause when you remove them from your head, and I like the customizable sound profiles. I owned Bose NC headphones for 6-7 years prior to these, and there's no noticeable difference in build or sound quality.

Nice Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can do a lot of controlling of these headphones through the Sony app. Love the 360 sound you can get with the Deezer app. The sound is great, I’ve heard details in tracks I’ve listened to before in these headphones I’ve never heard before. If you want a pair of good quality headphones, and don’t like Bose, or Senniheiser, these are the headphones to give a try.

Awesome Noise cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am always a biased about Sony product when it comes to the sound quality. For me, nobody provide best sound quality than Sony. However, this headphone is even better than what I expected. Sound is so smooth and high quality that even at low volume you can hear every beats of the music. So far, I am enjoying this :)

Grandma’s Like These Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item does what it advertised it would do. The music quality is outstanding. It cancels out noise and when you turn your head to the left or speak, it stops the sound that are coming through the headphones. Attractive appearance, you almost don’t see them when they are on your ears.

Don't fly without them!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have helped tremendously in long flights, especially when babies are on board. If you turn on the noise canceling and put ear plugs or the air plane ear buds underneath, you won't be able to hear anything.

The best noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best Sony noise canceling wireless headphones yet. I work in a very noisy environment, slip on these headphones, turn the noise canceling on, and I’m loss in a world of pure sound. Sony’s LDAC Bluetooth allows my HiRez music to stream without the the clarity lost by the much lower bitrate of other codecs. (My iPhone can broadcast using the LDAC codec)

Sony headphones purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a replacement of the previous model, which I, I had for six or seven years and had served me well. The first had lasted a long time despite a lot abuse that had occurred due to a lot of air travel. The first model served me well, as is this purchase. I am getting familiar with the new features on these new headphones.
