Love them!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! They noise cancel quite well, and of course, the quality is great. my only issues are that they fall off my head if i move back too much sometimes (but that might be because i have a small head lol) and they do leak noise at a certain volume. other than these minor issues, they’re great!!

Sound
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased these headphones. They sound good so far. But you are right in relation to the touch control. I'm not getting the pause when I double tap, that I do when I use my Bose in NC700s. However the volume up and the forward and reverse or should I say forward track and previous track. Does seem to work.

Posted .Hi JhonD,
Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear you like the sound quality of the Sony headphones. We do apologize for the inconvenience. The sensor of the touch sensor control panel is built into the flat surface of the right unit. Operate within the range of the sensor. When you swipe your finger forward/backward or up/down on the touch sensor control panel, the touch sensor control panel may not work correctly depending on the angle at which the headset is worn or the direction your head is facing. Also, the headset will not operate correctly when you operate the headset with your fingernail or a gloved hand. Remove your glove, and operate the headset with the ball of your finger.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice headphones. I ended up buying 2 pair with 1 a gift. The headphones sound very balanced, musical and are very versatile making it easy to listen to various sources. The noise cancelling works well as does the microphone. The songs encoded with the 360 Reality Audio add another dimension to listening. The programmability of these headphones is unbelievable and quite useful. These headphones deserve a front seat with my other equipment and deliver on all fronts.

My traveling studio companion
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the loudest of loud airplanes with the most talkative neighbors in the seats around me I've found studio quality audio and noise cancellation with these Sony headphones. The hires audio sounds I'm able to get via bluetooth are fantastic. I did purchase the adapters for both USB-C and Apple Lightning so I could hardwire to either my iPad Pro or the Apple iPhone 13 Pro but I'm honestly not sure its needed.
