||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like these, especially since i swear by the competition. Only thing i don't really care for, my fault though, if i touch fold my arms or touch my headphones...they turn off. I know they do a bunch of things, I'll never try or need, so i kept that extra star! I get tired of restarting my headphones. Blame my age!

Slightly better than previous gen.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the XM3 and they were great. Only issue was the battery started losing it's charge after 2 days of minimum use. These are better in noise cancelling and comfort with thicker cushions on the ears and on the crown of your head. GET THEM!!

Mom's Headphones from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were purchased for my mom as she lives in a building where folks have music going till late, loud parties in the summer till the wee hours and the Boom of the Base rolls through her apartment. We initially looked at other brands that offer noise cancelling headphones, yet Sony is a name we have purchased in the past and it never disappoints with regard to quality and sound. The color is also a nice alternative to black or red. Mom can still kick it but does so on her own terms with her own music, or just sitting quietly without all the noise. These headphones are priced right and were the right choice for our mom.

Best in class noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant to spend this much on a set of headphones that I would be using for things like biking, working out, outdoor work but after using these for a few weeks I am incredibly happy with the build quality, convenience features, and anc performance. They have been dropped several times and hit a tree branch, still in perfect shape. ANC on these is amazing, truly the best in class until Bose releases their equivalent. The Sony headphones connect app used with the headphones works great so far as well. The automatic audio passthrough works great 99% of the time, the only thing I have found that activated it when not intended are loud lawn mowers but turning that setting off takes all of 1 button press in the app. Finally the most important part, sound quality is fantastic as expected by Sony's flagship ANC headphones.

Great Noise Canceling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just got back from a 5 hour plane ride. These things worked great! Noise cancelation is perfect, touching the right ear cup to allow outside noise is very convenient. Taking them off automatically pauses whatever you re watching/listening too. I wish it had a better microphone. I tried using for a work call, but people said the voice quality wasn't good. After a couple hours of use, I had to take them off for about a minute because the ear cups were getting warm (not mechanical warm more body heat). Not a big deal...because I was expecting it to heat up right away...not the case for me. Sound quality is very good. No problems connecting multiple devices...phone and tablet.

Better than AirPods Max
