Best Noise Canceling Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling headphones. Have worn this pair on many flights and I could never travel without it. The best part is the sound which can be tuned to your liking via the Sony Headphones app. I've tried Bose Q45 but switched over to Sony once I heard the sound profile.

Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the new features on these bad boys there’s no need to look anywhere else for noise cancelling. Compared with beautiful sound these can’t be beaten at this price. My best feature of these are the Adaptive sound control. Living in the city I have to use public transportation so the noise cancelling kicks in automatically when it knows I’m moving at certain speeds. Then shuts off when stopped. Perfect!

Excellent Sound, but so so BT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is awesome. Then why only 3 star? Bluetooth connectivity is not stable - if you walk around it disconnects and even if you sit, it disconnects from Samsung TV and your show sound becomes distorted. From sound quality point of view, it is much better than Bose QC45 and Sony XM3. But if we consider Bluetooth connectivity, it is not as good as QC45.

Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome set of headphones. Great for work and lounging but not the best for working out. They slip off my head a lot and collect a lot of moisture from sweat, even though I wipe them off every time if needed.

Audio cancellation takes a bit to getting use to the headphones will change settings entering and exiting different environments.

After downloding the Sony headphone and creating my own sound profile, my thoughts did a 180. They sound incredible and i love the hand-to-ear ambient sound feature that allows you to listen in on whats going on around you. Top notch!!
