They are great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They bang. The sound quality is amazing and the app that you use it with, is pretty easy to learn and customize, your style. My only grip is the material its made with, the cushions aren't my favorite. They are comfortable but they feel a bit cheap idk, but i recommend it

Sony Headphones review
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the headphones as a Christmas present for my son. He didn't waste anytime using them with both his IPhone and laptop. The headphones are lighter and have better padding than the headphones he replaced. We are going on day 7 and have not recharged the battery yet.

Tried and tested! Five Stars!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these as a gift for my husband a few years ago. He uses them at the gym, travel, and while doing some household chores. After extensive use, they broke. He was so happy and impressed by the quality of these headphones that he repurchased the same product again on his own! He can't be without them and didn't even want to bother testing out another brand.

Awesome mid range $ headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the Powerbeats pro which I was blown away with, these are even better! I suggest looking up some good eq settings for the app though, they don’t come out of the box that impressive.

Favorite pair ever!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to own the M3 pair. These are much more comfortable and they have a few more perks than the M3. You can set it up so that the music stops when you start talking and then starts playing your music when you stop talking. Love it.

Best noise.cancellation I’ve seen (heard)
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal noise canceling, especially on constant background noise like jet engines in flight. Sony includes a decent case, headphone cable, and airline adapter for that as well. But even in everyday life they sound great and block a ton of unwanted noise.

Expensive but worth it

Sound is superior and the transparency is great also. Expensive but worth it

Best noise-cancelling headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. I turn them on and the world is GONE! They are very easy to use, and their functionality is completely intuitive. The phone app is also intuitive and easy to use. They're spendy, but they're worth every penny.

Great set of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. Overall the headphones are fantastic. The Sennheiser Momentum 3s do have more bass without any EQ, but the comfort and noise cancelling are superior. With the sale due to the holidays, no regrets with this purchase.
