Best wireless headphones EVER!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is awesome, so comfortable to wear. I use them to listen to audiobooks without disturbing anyone around me. Also late night TV bothers no one else and I can hear like it was a theatre. Stereo surround sound is awesome! I made a great purchase!

Great Sound, Mixed Features.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound very good and the features they come with can be very useful, though some of those features have a few annoying knacks that could annoy some people. Again, if sound is all you care about, these are great noise cancelling headphones that sound fantastic. Now for the issues. These headphones have a few quality of life features. For example, if you're wearing them and you begin walking, it'll turn off noise cancelling. Sometimes. If you tap the right headphone, it'll pause. Sometimes. If you take off your headphones it'll pause your media automatically. Sometimes. There are some great features though a lot of them are unreliable. These features can be turned off via the headphones app if it annoys you. Overall, a solid pair of headphones. I give a thumbs up.

Sony comfort and great noise cancellation

Some great features. One annoying problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: The noise cancellation is awesome. It is on par or slightly better than the Bose QC 35 II. It is more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time than the Bose (at least for my ears). Cons: The biggest problem I have is that when restarting the headphones, the volume always starts at maximum. I am using the iPhone app. Sometimes the volume control on the iphone app is not responsive when on a call.

Great headphones, garbage controls
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones look and sound great. I prefer them to my bose headphones. That being said, the touch controls on the headphones are a huge steaming pile of garbage. Whoever had the bright idea to implement it was either in to deep to back out or purely clueless to what people want in their products. I have 20 year old vending machine headphones with better controls.
