better than apple airpod max
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these and the apple airpods max. Price wasnt really a factor from me. I just need something confortable that will cancel noise effectively. These are much more confortable for long coding sessions compared to the apple product. And half the price! They get a bit warm, but all closed back headphones do. Not much that can be done there. love the portability and carry case

Quiet Ears = Quiet Kids

Great for Entertainment & Work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since working from home I needed a good pair of truly wireless headphones or earbuds to use. These new Sony headphones is efficient when listening through your computer and answering calls from your phone without the hassle. During a call, your music is paused from your computer and resumes after finishing a call. Simple as that. Also the comfort is a plus, along with the noise cancellation.

2nd pair from Sony! Love them.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The most comfortable headset that cancels enough noise and yet doesn't make me feel like I won't hear if there was an emergency that I would not be aware of. I need to be distraction free at work, yet still aware if someone needs to get my attention. These work perfectly!

These are the Cost-Effective Earphones for You.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such a great product: for music lovers, total immersion with resonating music tones that are enriched by noise cancelling technology. Calming. Peaceful. (or for others not into smooth jazz, classical, and artists - rock out).

Good sound quality & Noise cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to pair with good sound, battery life & better bass than previous sony xm3. New feature is ability to "auto hear" when mic detects someone talking to you, but I didn't care for that option personally. Must use touch controls to change volume, track, answer. Some people will not like that, but the device looks better without buttons.
