Mind blown
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling. Stellar audio. Enough said. I will knock a point off for gesture controls. It needs to be better at detection. Hopefully a software update takes care of that.

My Headset had a Dud Battery, Had to Return
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancellation definitely some of the best. I ended up returning as the battery could not hold a charge. Would recommend buying if you can get a good deal, like in the $150-200 price range.

Great for isolating during flights. Long battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife hates flying. Got these for her on sale. She loves them, they help her with isolating and relaxing. She likes them better than her gen1 AirPod pros for that purpose. The touch/motion controls are a bit gimmicky. The sound cancelling is noticeably better than my 40 dollar (on sale) anker q30s, but for cost, even on sale, idk if it’s worth the extra $180. The Ankers get 90% of the sound that the Sonys cover. I mow the lawn and do yard work with the Ankers. They work just fine.
