Best wireless, noise-canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For this price-point, these are worth the cost. Quality, comfort, and features justify buying these over “cheaper” $250+ headphones. Get these when they go on sale if you are able ($50-80 off).

The best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable to wear all day. With great battery life. Last me two work days while being connected to two devices as it auto switches between the two sources based on which one is sending audio.

Great workout headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headphones are really good. Very lightweight. Very compacted so i can just throw them in my bag without thinking. The only thing i dont like much is the swipping feture but nothing crazy i cant get used too.

Best headphones out right now
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I travel a lot and wanted a really nice really reliable set of headphones. I have a friend that works at a factory. He got several headphones from coworkers to sample. None of them sucked. Tried many many brand. Most had software glitches within the few minutes I tested them. Some were comfortable and some were not. Noise cancellation wasn’t very good on most. These are the total package. I’m a couple hundred hours into listening and they sound great. Not once had a software issue, and the noise cancellation is second to none. Can’t think of one negative to these babies.

Good and Bad
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am on the fence about these. If these are that great then I just don't see it. Sound quality is good but nothing like some people claim. My Audio Technicas produce an equal if not better quality sound. Headband is not very comfortable after a couple hours of wearing them. I find the band starts to dig into the top of my head and gives me a headache. The band needs more padding. Wireless function is a royal pain. You have to download a proprietary Sony app for any of your devices to use these. Pairing them is not easy like it is for many Bluetooth accessories like mice, keyboards and such. Battery life is acceptable. Noise canceling is good. Still evaluating product to determine if I will return to get my $300+ back.

Well done, guys
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thoroughly impressed with this set. I have owned numerous headsets from solid brands including Bowers and Wilkins. This set keeps up. Range on BT is there, quality of product and sound quality is there, ease of access is there, and hell - so fast to charge. This set is here to stay. Well done, Sony. Although - I did spend 1 night so frustrated as I accidentally engaged some sort of speech to chat mode while gaming and could not for the life of me figure out how and so it took a bit to figure out how to turn it off. My own fault, I guess? But, still, do not like this feature, personally.

Sony noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value. Noise cancellation works perfectly; I can’t hear a person speaking right next to me. The sound is good, although it has plenty of adjustments, which I haven’t fully explored, yet. I use them when working out and I find them comfortable for extended use. When on sale, they are a great buy.

Excellent ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far the best headphones that I have ever owned in terms of checking all the "boxes" for my needs. The noise cancelling is incredible as so many others have stated and the sound quality, with a little tweaking, is also amazing. I have used these wireless and wired and both sound very very good to my ears. While wired gives you true Hi Res quality depending on the source, I was pleasantly surprised by the Bluetooth streaming sound quality as well. No drops and a nice crisp sound that can be tweaked in the app to the user's liking. Almost two months in and I am very satisfied with the headphones in terms of features, sound quality, and overall build.

Best of the current main stream headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build quality is amazing and the sound quality is great. These are significantly better than the beats or Bose headphones. The USB C is also great. The touch controls aren't the best though.
