    I used to have beats solo pros which had much smaller ear cushions. Because of that, wearing them for an hour or two it started hurting. Those headphones were also noise canceling but I didnt know noise canceling until i tried these. Now i cant study without them. Having a bunch of settings is awesome too. the only issue i have is to change the volume you need to swipe up or down which takes much more time/ effort then tapping up or down to change the volume

    I used to own a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones and they were great but needed to be replaced after having them for over 6 years. I was going to purchase the most up-to-date Bose headphones but also wanted to do some research on other competitive brands. After watching countless videos and getting a better lay of the land, I was able to make a decision on these Sony wireless noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones. They sounds very pristine and I love the 360 audio feature....it's really freaky at first but it's definitely a one-of-a-kind experience! They also feel much more premium than the headphones I had before so I have confidence these will last a long time.
