better sound then xm3
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Download Sony Headphone Connect App, open box, turn on headphones (bottom of left headphone on/off switch), using Sony Connect App, connect and paired new headphones. - My headphones were 100% charged out of box. - Many features in Sony Connect App, matter of your preference and use. I do think the app is solid and useful for my use of these headphones. - My headphones firmware updated automatically -be patient, process took several minutes. Initial impression; very comfortable, really good noise canceling and sound quality.

Amazing bass

I also use these while watching movies. I definitely recommend, one thing I don’t like is my ears get hot while wearing but that’s a me issue.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.sound great, not better than apple airpods max but hey, E for effort. would recommend. def a lot lighter and more comfortable, bass is present but not the best. again, spend $500 on Airpods max, you’ll probably regret it… or maybe you won’t. what do i know? i’m just trying to get a shot at a $400 best buy gift card for writing this review. cheers everyone.

Great Noise Cancellation & Quality Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, they have a really great sound and clarity. They are very loud but with noise cancelling on other noises just don't exist anymore. Bass is pretty good. Not too heavy but a great level for listening to various types of music.

Great but not the Bose-killer
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted these to outperform my Bose 700s, since I felt like the XM3s beat out the QC 35s in every way except some small annoying things (manual device switching, one device connection, etc.). I waited anxiously for months for their release and bought them right away. They’re good, but not great. They solved some of the small annoying things, but they still make you very reliant on a pretty non-friendly app interface to control your headphones. The touch controls are ok but it hammers your ear drum when you tap on the ear cups. The ANC and sound quality seemed to me to be almost identical to the XM3s, which I also owned. Very good in both cases, energetic sound, punchy bass, and almost no outside noise and very low hiss. These are really good headphones, but sadly, still not a Bose-killer for me. The 700s have the ANC edge, the phone call clarity edge, the fullest sound, and the easiest setup and app usability edge.

Must have for parents & anyone else needing focus
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this in black. It changed my life. I bought the midnight blue for my husband. He loves it. We are parents. Does it block out my child with a self-professed love of nonstop talking? Not if we're in the same room. But it does make everything much quieter when I need to focus. It helped me finish my degree. I listened to music on a flight recently. I did not hear the baby crying. I love the extra features, too. Simply touching fingers to the headset to navigate controls is awesome. Very comfortable to wear.

Bliss
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best set of headphones I have owned. Yes, the price is up there but these are premium headphones. I've had them for a month now and I wear them about 5-6 hours a day. Super comfortable and don't give me a headache. I have a pair of wireless Beats and my only complaint is the comfort or lack of it from them just an hour or so into use. The sound stage and noise-canceling options are icing on the cake. The ability to "turn off" the sounds around me is amazing. If you are debating getting these headphones, they are currently on sale, get them! You will not be disappointed.

Great on the airplane
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for long distance flights and they did not disappoint. Great noise cancellation to block out engine hum and surrounding people. Was helpful for reducing the sound of a crying baby. Also produced good sound quality for airline movies. I still like to use the cable to be able to connect without WiFi and it worked great!

Newly found love
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the noise canceling and ambient option when someone is speaking to you. The side of the headphones is a control panel and it is super easy to use! The battery life also last a while and I’m a frequent user. If you’re looking for something loud with quality? These are it! Note: just turn the speak option off if you’re a singer because your headphones will think your talking to someone
