Probably the best noise ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my opinion, these are the best wireless noise canceling headphones you can buy. They have very good range, a bit of a bass boost, but nothing too muddy. And the noise cancellation is superb.

GREAT!! Wonderful noise cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using this product for couple months now i am absolutely IN LOVE with my purchase not to mention the great customer service you get from the Best Buy employee who made my experience easy when i had to come in for an exchange. I love the hands free fetures this headset has, it is great for the gym, Cancels out so much background noise and I love how personize you can make these headphones to your prefured audio experience. It had Alexa built in if you use alexa a lot this would be another great devise to add. Only issue i have with it is that the pairing experience is quite hard to connect to whenever i want to switch to use on another device but maybe thats just me, and also how when i run or move my head too fast it likes to slide off my head but other than those minor details its a great pair of headphones.

Great if you can pick it up on sale
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.excellent sound quality and probably the best noise-cancelling HPs I ever tried. I think Bose comes second to this because Sony's sound profile is crispy and dynamic compared to Bose's. One downside is the transparency mode. It's not as good as my AirPods Pros and I can hear the wind through it sometimes.

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.

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

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!
