Fit Is Too Tight And App Is Awful - Try Them On
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones get only 3 stars from me because they are uncomfortable to wear, and I have to reset things in the app to get them to work correctly with Bluetooth on my PC. When working properly the sound is great, the microphone also works well. The problem is when I get on an online meeting these disconnect and reconnect and do all kinds of weird things. The app does fix some problems, but I often have to reconnect to my phone and then reset junk in the app then reconnect to my PC. The headphones fit entirely too tightly on my head, and I end up with headaches from it. They also feel cheap and flimsy, and I feel like they're going to break at any moment. I wish I could go back to exchange them for something different. These are by far the worst Sony products I've owned.

Shouldn't Have Had to Buy but Product is Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd actually purchased same item 10/31 and then saw Black Friday sale - sadly wasn't allowed to price match so forced to return 1st pair only to buy same again but $100 less. GREAT headphones, though. Excellent sound & great noise cancelling. Sorry to waste employee time returning and restocking but wasn't letting a $100 savings go.

Headphones...
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these sony headphones. I do notice that they get my hears pretty warm and sore if you wear them for a prolonged amount of time. My advice is if you are looking for headphones that creates a great seal and you aren't planning on wearing them for a long period of time, get these. I used them on a flight from detroit to tampa and I didnt keep them on the entire time because of ear fatigue. Also the touch controls arent the best

I live in these
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had my eye on these for over a year. The black Friday price and extended return policy made me go for it. I love these for my music, great range. The controls are simple. And i keep this paired to my phone, taking phone calls is easy. Clear. Reluanle. I get 40ft range easily. Superb sound, which really is the most important thing.

Great to hear the noise cancellation is helping you stay focused at the gym! To keep them performing their best, remember to wipe them down after use as this model is not water-resistant.

Great gift for music lovers!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My girlfriend really loved them, she says they were better than my beats but more affordable than the Apple ones. If you are looking for a high-quality in-between check these ones out, the quality for music is excellent.

Don’t Sleep On These
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound! These are so underrated. The Sony headphones are excellent without all of the flash. While they’re expensive, the investment in this product is more in sound and tech vs. the look. I’ve owned Beats and these are hands down much better than any headphones I’ve ever listened to.

Amazing headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are easily the best headphones I have ever owned. My only regret is that I did not buy them sooner. I love the noise cancellation and the touch controls on the right ear. The speak feature that lowers the volume and turns off ANC for a period of time is awesome, but it is not for me. If I respond and just say yea to someone it activates. Great feature, just not for me.

Too big for my head and very heavy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sounded great. But I had to return them because I am a woman (pretty normal size) and they didn't adjust to be small enough to fit my ears, so they pressed on my ears at the top and made them sore after only about 3 minutes of wear. They were also way too loose to use for the gym.

Better than Bose!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I haven't gotten a pair of great headphones for 15 years, it was time to update my Bose. With every intention of getting another Bose I fell in love with the Sony. Comfortable to wear, easy to hard wire to your phone or i-pod or i-pad or to set it up wireless. Love the wireless and blue tooth capabilities. Sales rep was very helpful in getting me set up.

Great quality, pay-to-use functions
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent quality sound, insane noise cancelling and functions. Downside deals with the DLC stuff through the app, would be nice if it just came with the expense of the headphones.

The adjustment to different places and noise levels are phenomenal. The noice canceling is great, when I’m sharing an office for the day and really need to focus. I live in NYC and my commute has been so much more peaceful.
