    Very light weight and comfortable! Use either wirelessly or wired. I use on my PC and have absolutely no complaints. A little pricey, but if you can afford it, they are great.

    Not enough improvements compared to WH-1000XM3.

    1) Headphone physical properties: Does not clamp tightly enough; constantly slide forward or backward when bending over or looking up. Earpieces become hot too quickly, even in cool weather. 2) Active noise cancellation (ACN): Very good. 3) Sound quality: Underwhelming sound quality if EQ within Sony app is not used. If EQ and app are used, sound quality improves to Good. Does not support AptX L, plus LDAC cannot be used if multipoint connection is selected. 4) Bluetooth connectivity: Multipoint function very poorly implemented - just doesn't work consistently. Otherwise stable bluetooth connectivity. 5) Controls: Touch pad works surprisingly well, BUT needs more than 1 programmable button - only allows choice of summoning Voice Assistant or control over ANC level Need both.

    THE ABSOLUTE BEST WIRELESS HEADPHONES EVER!!!! A big differnce from the other headphones that's start with the Letter B is that whenever you remove these headphones from your ears...... the music or video you're watching STOPS!!!! I just thinks that's a cool feature. And they're very comfortable to wear! Takes the C charger and chargers up very fast!

    These headphones have made my life 1000% better as a neurodivergent mom of 2. Overwhelmed with sounds around me and need noise cancelling! Pop on the Sonys! Can’t focus on cleaning the kitchen?? Pop on a podcast and the Sonys. Seriously, if you’re a mom that gets overstimulated or if you’re just needing a solid, high quality, beautiful pair of headphones. These are so so worth the money. Worth every penny!!!
