Great sound, comfortable to wear, noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use around the house some. Bought for a trip that got canceled. Used recently on a flight and worked great! Plan to use on a road trip in the near future. Have beats flex and a few others similar. The ones that go in ear work good for most part and blocks all noise. My sony are over ear making more comfortable. Blocked all the noise of the plane out. Blocks tv and stuff in house. When someone comes up and takes to be it let's their voice in, I can cover one side and let noise in, I talk and it let's noise in, all automatically. When I take off it pauses my phone or tablet it's connected to. Sound quality is get. They are expensive but worth it if you catch a sale.

The is the smartest and most comfortable headset I’ve ever owned. I can’t see getting any other brand headset after this. Totally worth the money and super light weight. Definitely recommend.

Solid pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far these headphones have been great. Comfy feel to them, dont slip off when I use them for running on a treadmill or lifting weights. I bought silicone covers for my ear muffs that are specifically designed for this model of sony headphones. And if you need to buy specific parts to the headphones then amazon is great for extra ear muffs or the leather on the top middle of the headphones. The noise cancellation is really nice. My mind set was come in looking to buy bose headphones but after trying the sony samples, these were much better quality. I give these a 5 outta 5.

Great headphones all around!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the latest (mark 4) version of these wireless headphones. I really like them so far. They are very comfortable and do not feel like they are super tight on my head, as cheaper headphones do. The sound is, well, Sony: very good. I hesitated for a long time because of the price, but they are well worth every penny. If there is a negative, it’s due to the fact that the sound via Bluetooth is not as superior as wired headphones. However this isn’t really a negative at all, because it’s a given that wireless technology itself is just not going to deliver the same frequency range as wired audio. These are my walking headphones. So, I’m not going to be as attentive to the purity of sound as I would be if sitting down for a listening session. The extra features are useful (noise cancellation; ambience control)—however, they will drain the battery faster than using the headphones with those extra features disabled.

Love These Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have really been enjoying these headphones. The sound cancelling works wonders and the sound quality is amazing. The touch feature to control audio and playback works well. One thing I really liked was when taking off the headphones it would automatically pause your music and restart once you have them back on your head. Ive spent hours listening to my favorite songs and revisiting them again in a better sound experience.

Perfect pair of headphones!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ll keep this short. These are the best headphones I have used for music I feel like they may be a little over priced as almost 400 dollars for any pair of headphones feels like it’s too much lol but luckily I have gotten these on sale! Pick these up as soon as possible! My one gripe and I’m definitely in the minority is that every time I turn on the headphones it goes into noise cancellation mode automatically I wish I could turn that off. I’m not the biggest fan of noise cancellation as it messes with my hearing a bit and makes my ears feel funny.

A premium set of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A big step up in noise cancelling from my Sennheiser HD4.50BTNC headphones, sound quality is very good. Don't love the app, some of the things in it are not very intuitive. Touch on the right earphone can be quirky, too. Sometimes it doesn't recognize taps when I am deliberately doing them, sometimes I'm just adjusting the headphones on my head or moving my hand in that area and it registers a tap. I would recommend turning off the audible notifications in the app, when outside they can happen pretty often because of traffic or wind. Very comfortable for long listening sessions. Synced to my S9 easily, but I also have a Samsung 4k TV that it synced to, but has some issues maintaining connectivity, there are occasional dropouts in sound, not sure if that's the TV or the headphones. Over-all, despite the various quirks, quite happy with the sound and quality of these headphones.

Posted .Hi Dave67r,
Great choice! We're glad to hear you appreciate this amazing headphones especially the sound of it. Good to know you're comfortable using the headphones. We appreciate your feedback regarding the app and some occasional sound skipping when paired with your TV. When connecting the headset to a Bluetooth device, use the headset at least 10 m (30 feet) away from the wireless LAN device. If this headset is used within 10 m (30 feet) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device. Use this headset and the Bluetooth device as near to each other as possible. The situation may be improved by changing the wireless playback quality settings. Set the headset to “Priority on stable connection” mode or fixing the wireless playback mode with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.
