Good sound and ANC, but hinges are a weak spot
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve used these headphones daily for a year now, and from a pure performance standpoint, they are incredible. The active noise cancellation easily blocks out everything around you, the battery life is great, and they fold up perfectly for travel. They are easily the most comfortable headphones I've owned. My only major complaint after a year of ownership is the build quality of the plastic swivels. The hinges are definitely a known weak point and feel fragile over time. If you take good care of them, they are a solid 5-star pair of headphones, but you do have to be gentle with the folding joints. Highly recommend them for the ANC, just treat the plastic carefully.

Best Headphones for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bang for buck one of the best headphones you could ever get. I had the previous gen of the headphone and decided to upgrade and it was the best decision I made. They took the previous model and improved in every way. Sound never cuts and you can feel the bass in your ears. Truly an amazing experience to listen to anything with these on.

Excellent Noise cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been using this headphone for past nine months and Sony never let me down. It's very handy and not heavy. The box provided is awesome and holds this well. Noise cancelling feature is great and when you speak it recognizes your voice and holds the audio. Volume can be adjusted on the headphone with fingers. That's kind of cool. Love this headphone

Best headphones out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased a pair of the new Bose Quiet Comfort headphones and returned them for these. They didnt compare at all when it came to style, functionality, sound, and features. The Sonys have a built in assistant that can be accessed at the touch of a button which could be used with Google or Alexa. They have a unique feature to hear your surroundings by holding the outter side of the headphone. The app has countless settings to fully customize them to your liking. And even a feature to capture a photo of your own ear to get the best sound possible. I noticed the headphones are also scratch resistant and stay clean for the most part. Every other pair of headphones that ive worn, ended up with scratches and blemishes shortly after purchase. The case included is protective and functional. The right ear side has hand gesture functions that help you amswer calls, end calls, skip songs, and change volume. Which does take some getting used to. I personally recommend these to anyone. I can finally be heard with ease on my calls without too much background noise. You can't go wrong with this purchase.
