Posted .Hi NoDoze,
It’s wonderful that you’re enjoying the industry-leading noise cancellation, which allows you to immerse yourself fully in your music without distractions. We also hope you’re loving the Speak-to-Chat technology, which automatically pauses your audio the moment you start a conversation, making your listening experience seamless and intuitive.
Thank you for choosing Sony.

Best headphones out right now
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I travel a lot and wanted a really nice really reliable set of headphones. I have a friend that works at a factory. He got several headphones from coworkers to sample. None of them sucked. Tried many many brand. Most had software glitches within the few minutes I tested them. Some were comfortable and some were not. Noise cancellation wasn’t very good on most. These are the total package. I’m a couple hundred hours into listening and they sound great. Not once had a software issue, and the noise cancellation is second to none. Can’t think of one negative to these babies.

Good and Bad
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am on the fence about these. If these are that great then I just don't see it. Sound quality is good but nothing like some people claim. My Audio Technicas produce an equal if not better quality sound. Headband is not very comfortable after a couple hours of wearing them. I find the band starts to dig into the top of my head and gives me a headache. The band needs more padding. Wireless function is a royal pain. You have to download a proprietary Sony app for any of your devices to use these. Pairing them is not easy like it is for many Bluetooth accessories like mice, keyboards and such. Battery life is acceptable. Noise canceling is good. Still evaluating product to determine if I will return to get my $300+ back.

Amazing Headphones - You won't regret it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones by Sony! I had the lower model before this and debated spending more money for the upgrade and really glad I did. Comes with a nice case for storage and they're extremely durable! I workout about 5 days/week and they are used every time I'm in the gym. Excellent noise cancelation quality and so easy to adjust your equalizer as well from the app. I love these and would absolutely recommend them!

Well done, guys
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thoroughly impressed with this set. I have owned numerous headsets from solid brands including Bowers and Wilkins. This set keeps up. Range on BT is there, quality of product and sound quality is there, ease of access is there, and hell - so fast to charge. This set is here to stay. Well done, Sony. Although - I did spend 1 night so frustrated as I accidentally engaged some sort of speech to chat mode while gaming and could not for the life of me figure out how and so it took a bit to figure out how to turn it off. My own fault, I guess? But, still, do not like this feature, personally.

Best wireless, noise-canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For this price-point, these are worth the cost. Quality, comfort, and features justify buying these over “cheaper” $250+ headphones. Get these when they go on sale if you are able ($50-80 off).
