Definitely the best
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know these headphones are a little expensive. But you can often find them on sale. I got these on sale and these are by far the best headphones I’ve used. I did buy a lot and returned most of them. We can connect to multiple devices. The base is really good. They are light and easy to use. And the app is pretty extensive. I recommend is highly.

Great decision
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was between Bose, and these new sonys. Looked at reviews for weeks until I broke down and spend the buttload of money for them and the protection plan, which in the end will def be worth it. Awesome clear sound, bass is loud, but couldn’t hit low notes as well as I anticipated. Feels great, comfy, and have a lot of different settings, a ton of great functions.

Sony vs Apple
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Apple AirPod Max and compared it to this Sony. The only thing I liked better with Apple was the fit over the ears. It just seemed more cushioned and form fitting. Everything else I liked better with the Sony. Sony absolutely blows away Apple with bass too. No matter what settings I put the Apple on, it would not come close to the hard hitting bass of the Song which was the clincher for me. Much lighter weight and more compact with a better case too were the other pluses.

Worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for noise canceling over the ear headphones that are high quality, comfortable, and have terrific battery life look no further. I use these 6 to 10 hours a day normally and my only complaint is I wish some of the control were physical buttons instead of swiping the ear cup or using the phone app.

I’m an idiot but these headphones are amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Funny story about how good these headphones are…and what an idiot I am. First, the sound is incredible. Connectivity is great with about 50-60 ft range. Connecting to two devices simultaneously switches flawlessly and intuitively(pauses sound from one device for incoming call on other device). Battery life is endless. Sound cancelling on and volume at 70-80% volume for 7-8 hours and only battery only dropped 20%. Ok, to tell on myself…I’ve been sitting at the correct gate (Phoenix airport) this evening for over 2 hours watching the boarding time every 15 minutes. The second hour I am literally sitting in front of the ticketing booth with these headphones on and I missed the call to board the plane because I never heard the announcement(and no I couldn’t see the boarding area from where I was sitting). All I’m saying is that I’m an idiot but the sound cancelling is amazing and has to be pretty close to what I would imagine being in a deprivation tank would sound like. Without a doubt the best headphone purchase I’ve ever made.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat first impression and excited to use these
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the first pair of noise cancelling headphones I've ever owned. I've been using them for about 2 hours now, and upon first impression, they are phenomenal. The setup is extremely easy - an app that you download through a QR code in the physical manual guides you through the process which is completed in about 5 minutes. I learned a lot of features right off the bat and I'm sure I'll learn more as I use the headphones more. The foam on the ears and the top of the set is extremely comfortable and I don't have any ear discomfort yet. My ears are average sized, so please take that into consideration. The look and feel of the headphones and the case is high quality and feels durable. The footprint isn't too big and they are lightweight which will be great for bringing them along on long trips or in a bag for the day. The sound is fantastic. It truly surrounds you. I know there are options for EQ which i till get into at another time, but out of the box the sound is great. Looking forward to my time with these, thanks Sony!

Best headphones I ever purchased
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are kinda insane. The noise canceling is so amazing you can’t hear a single thing once you have them on. They’re comfortable and light weight. Plus the battery last a very long time. I definitely would give this a 5/5 score.

Best purchase this year
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife owns the XM3000's so I had been wanting a pair of my own for some time. Those were already great, but one of my pet peeves was that I always had to carry an extra USB-B cable. I have an Android phone so having everything charge with a USB-C is much easier to deal with. The headphones themselves sound great and having them on with nose cancelling seems like you're in a completely different place. I wear them at the gym and you can't hear any of the clanking at all while using them. These headphones can get loud, if you want them to, and I usually have them at around 60-70% volume. Gestures: They work well once you get used to it, but with anything touch based, it can and does get better over time with software updates. Battery life: It's advertised as 30 hours so shouldn't have any issues with 2 weeks of use. Due to USB C, charging is really fast and you can get 2 hours of use with just a quick 10 min. charge. So if you have a car charger and your headphones are dead on the way to the gym, you can charge them enough for a full session.

Sound Quality!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible sound for the price! I contemplated getting the AirPods Max but this has just as good sound if not better, good battery life, and much lighter while wearing. Only thing I wish it had was easier connection and device switching that you get with Apple headphones.
