Sony Headphone really good.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best purchased so far. ANC is surprisingly good. One verdict is that it's hot while wearing for a long time, but feels better than an in-ear headphone in terms of comfort.

Amazing noise cancellation!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing noise cancellation! I bought these for 4th of July because I’m sensitive to sounds & prone to panic attacks and these were so helpful with getting through firework shows!! Works better with constant sounds over sudden sounds given the technology but overall It did great to muffle the blasts! The noise cancellation can also be adjusted to hear more/less ambient noise in the app for different situations. Also offers high quality sound for music and the app and ear touch pad is very easy to use and helpful! I’ve only had a few issues connecting the Bluetooth to my laptop but it seems to only effect some apps(might be my computer issue) there is also a headphone cord to connect with if needed.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you can get it on sale, these are definitely worth it! The sound is amazing compared to my Bose QC II. I was amazed on how they sound. They are also more comfy than the previous gen 1000XM3 in my opinion.

Sync with me Sony
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love how this fits on my ears, it's comfortable and sounds good. The problem is when I have it connected to my tv, the audio and connectivity will have a delay sometimes and I have to either turn the headphones off or go through the sounds menu back to the headphones again to have it in sync again. Hopefully this is just a blip.

Posted .Hi Deevs, Thank you for the awesome review! Good to know you love the comfortable fit and great sound quality of your new headphones. The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.

Sony head set
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just used these on a long flight (10 hours). The noise cancelling worked very well, battery lasted the entire trip. It comes in a very nice compact case making it easy to put in my carry-on bag. It comes with a USB cable for recharging and a audio cable if you don't want to use Bluetooth. The sound quality is good.

Best Noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are true noise cancelling headphones. They have all been great quality. These are no exception. I usually buy the earbuds or smaller but needed something for a long plane trip and got these. The cool part also is the app that goes with th allows you to attenuate the noise cancellation. Letting in a percentage of sound around in. Worth the price. You won’t be sad you got them.

love it!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love this headset!!!!!!! It's amazing in that it sounds 3D. I don't know how they do that? The noise canceling is superb The one thing that I would say is that they skimp where the. over the ear part connects to the Upper part that goes over your head. I don't know what that would be called. I could look it up, but I'm not going to waste my time I guess to get it at this price point, they just use plastic and I've had it break twice on me and I'm so glad I got the extended warranty.
