Good upgrade from XM2
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent upgrade from the XM2. The sound quality is about a 20% improvement. The comfort long term is also better than the XM2 as I use these at work.

The Range is Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Long time Bose Quiet Comfort user (3 pairs in last 6 years). Last pair developed a rattle and squeal recently, so I needed a new pair. Was frustrated with the terrible range of the Bose (basically disconnected beyond 10 ft) and hated the constant “connected” “disconnected” voice in my head. Was time to try something different. I love my new Sony’s! The range is fantastic. Upstairs, downstairs, outside and they stay connected. No issues with call quality (which was a concern). Customizing the sound in the app is easy. They are comfortable to wear all day and I rarely hear the voice in my head (but it is a pleasant voice when I do!). Glad I made the switch, and they were cheaper too!

Best headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good quality and worth the money! I’ve been thinking about purchasing this headphones for a while and I was having second thoughts because of the price but then I decided to finally buy it and it became the best purchase I’ve made this year. Sound quality was superb! It was easy to connect and I’m glad i can connect to 2 devices at the same time. It was also available for pick up so fast so i’m really happy about that.

Replacing MS surface headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are replacing my Microsoft surface 2 headphones. Both can connect to 2 devices at a time. I also loved the physical volume knob on the MS headphones. The MS headphones headband snapped due to being made of only plastic; also they cannot handle bass like these. These sound great and can handle bass. I’m careful with headphones but I’ve dropped them multiple times on a wood floor and they are good. They lose connection but it’s rare. Recommended

upgrade over xm2
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i already own the xm2's but was looking for a new pair because they started to hurt my ears. these have angled drivers so it stops the drivers from touching and pressing on your ears. these are way more comfortable b and the noise cancellation is slightly better, but the actually sound of the headphones are pretty much the same

Headphones Creak/pop, but are otherwise great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise cancelling are great, as advertised. I can’t really add to what’s already been said in the reviews for this or the previous model. My only complaint is the large amount of mechanical noise (creaking and popping) I’m hearing as the the headphones flex or adjust to head movements. They sound extra loud because everything else is so quiet. It’s probably made worse by the focus/study playlists I’m using for work from home.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased these because of the improvement in noise cancelation, sound quality, and the ability to easily switch between paired Bluetooth devices. I also love how comfortable they are in comparison to the previous gen.
