Better than Bose!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I haven't gotten a pair of great headphones for 15 years, it was time to update my Bose. With every intention of getting another Bose I fell in love with the Sony. Comfortable to wear, easy to hard wire to your phone or i-pod or i-pad or to set it up wireless. Love the wireless and blue tooth capabilities. Sales rep was very helpful in getting me set up.

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My personal best headphones yet. Ive purchased quiet a few over the years and this has to be the best use of my money. The noise cancelation is top notch. Ive been to airports and busy areas and find myself engulfed in my music. Also with the built-in app eq you can make adjustments to your sounds for a deeper and richer experience.

Amazing headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are easily the best headphones I have ever owned. My only regret is that I did not buy them sooner. I love the noise cancellation and the touch controls on the right ear. The speak feature that lowers the volume and turns off ANC for a period of time is awesome, but it is not for me. If I respond and just say yea to someone it activates. Great feature, just not for me.

Best headphones for the money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to go for the best bluetooth headphones on the market and I am very happy with the purchase. My wife works from home and she needed headphones that can help her focus on her work. She consistently raves about not hearing me while I move around the house. If I try to call her name with her headphones on she has to take them off because she can't hear me.

Best noise canceling headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing bluetooth audio headset. Best noise canceling headphones out there bar none. Everyone I show these to and have them try them are blown away on the noise canceling effectiveness of them. Only con is that you cant use them for gaming on a computer/use the built in mic at the same time (bluetooth limitation in general for stereo audio/mic usage at the same time)

Well worth the money!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best sounding bluetooth headphones I have heard. The noise cancelling easily handles busy traffic or loud noise. The bluetooth hissing found on all bluetooth headphones is minimal. Nothing will ever beat wired headphones, but these manage to matchup incredibly well.

Good, not perfect!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, incredible noise cancelling, good optimization when wearing glasses under headphones. Only gripe is that my ears, which are small, are a bit cramped and sometimes touch the headphones, which can start to hurt. I also don't like the way the headband is a bit raised, not the most fashionable.
