Look elsewhere if you want a great headphone.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great color. That’s all the good. Overhyped. Headphones sound good but not for the price. Not comfortable for long periods and do. It get loud at all. If you are doing anything at all they will not stay on. Overhyped and underperforming.

Great bass. Okay NC.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.noise canceling okay but definitely can’t cancel out the regular voice or songs - it just suppresses it a little bit. Don’t expect magical pin drop silence. Great bass and music. It does get a bit uncomfortable after a few minutes of usage. If you have previously owned any headphones, it should definitely not be an issue

Posted .Hi Seik,
We appreciate your review of the headphones. Good to know that you like the sound quality of the headphones.
Make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. The noise canceling function is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage.
Sony takes feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!

There is a defect the warranty will not cover
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality sound. Loved these. But it has been under a year, and they have broken due to a defect in the right swivel piece. I was literally putting them on my head like I always do, and the right swivel cracked. When I went to Sony for the 1-year warranty, they said they wouldn't cover physical damage even though this is a defect common in this specific kind of Sony headphone. They then wanted me to pay $90 only for labor to get them fixed. This $90 did not include the other cost that would be required. I would also have to pay for shipping both ways, which was $20 each. So if you don't mind them breaking in under a year and paying such a large price, then get them. The headphones have good sound quality but take a long time to connect to devices and can sometimes randomly disconnect. The sound quality is phenomenal, though, so there's that. But all in all, I feel like I've been robbed and wasted my money.
