Perfect Feature Set
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first major headphone purchase in a while, and I do not regret it. I bought these to replace my Beats Studios from 2011 after they finally kicked the bucket and everything is a huge upgrade. The ANC, features in the app, auto pause, two devices at once, ambient sound when talking to anyone. I could go on an on but they aree perfect for my needs as a software developer working from home. I would recommend these to anyone as these are the best headphones I have ever owned.

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones sounds great after using the in-app equalizer, though the reliance on the app is a negative for me. Also, the touch buttons are trash. Though this is made up for by the best in class noise cancellation.

My boss has to tap my shoulder to get my attention
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome you can use anywhere. I use these at work because there are so many distractions. The noise cancelling helps me focus. And when I speak, no need to take them down they automatically mute and enhance the outside noise so I can hear whoever is speaking to me. It’s great!

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.

||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.
