Great as a gift to yourself
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these for myself and I do not regret it! The sound quality is amazing and the time it takes to reach 0 charge is so LONG. Never had something that stayed charged for such a long while. 1

Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like them so far! Sometimes they fall off my head because they're big but it is not a big issue. Sound quality is nice and I like that it connects to two devices at the same time.

Awesome Quality and Sound!

Good sound quality & Noise cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to pair with good sound, battery life & better bass than previous sony xm3. New feature is ability to "auto hear" when mic detects someone talking to you, but I didn't care for that option personally. Must use touch controls to change volume, track, answer. Some people will not like that, but the device looks better without buttons.

Great for Entertainment & Work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since working from home I needed a good pair of truly wireless headphones or earbuds to use. These new Sony headphones is efficient when listening through your computer and answering calls from your phone without the hassle. During a call, your music is paused from your computer and resumes after finishing a call. Simple as that. Also the comfort is a plus, along with the noise cancellation.

Best wireless headphones money can buy.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After months of watching YouTube reviews videos I finally pulled the plug and purchased them. Not a regret in the world…they’re just as good as the reviews claimed. They feel great on the head and sound awesome. The noise cancelling is the best I’ve had in a pair of headphones. Going to enjoy these on my flight to Hawaii in a couple weeks.

Awesome headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not a headphone enthusiast by any means, but these headphones have been well worth the purchase to me! I mainly use them at school, and the noise cancelling feature is great when I really need to focus on an assignment. The equalizer feature on the companion app is nice because you can adjust the sound exactly as you like it. It might be better to wait until they’re on sale if you’re on the fence about getting them, but I personally love and recommend them!!!

Great value 4.5 star
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Giving this a 4 only because the app is a little buggy. Has dual pairing options but the switches are not consistent. Headphones themselves are really well built and still top tier considering this is a dated model.
