neurodivergent mom of 2 approved!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have made my life 1000% better as a neurodivergent mom of 2. Overwhelmed with sounds around me and need noise cancelling! Pop on the Sonys! Can’t focus on cleaning the kitchen?? Pop on a podcast and the Sonys. Seriously, if you’re a mom that gets overstimulated or if you’re just needing a solid, high quality, beautiful pair of headphones. These are so so worth the money. Worth every penny!!!

Best headsets in that price point
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love this headset. Sounds great and very comfy. Small issue i have is with the sensor that pauses the music when it detects you talking or someone talking to you. it pauses randomly, I'd rather a button and for it to not autodetect. the color is oh so beautiful

I hope this helps. Erin

I asked a bestbuy associate to show me something loud and he brought me these. The headphones are amazing when it comes to sound quality and sound cancellation. The swiping feature is my favorite part about them! They are loud and made me not even think twice about returning my Beats Studio Pros a day after having them. GET THESE HEADPHONES!!

Amazing headphones, especially for students!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are awesome! I use these whenever I go to class, or am just chilling and working on homework. This past week I had a huge paper due and spent a lot of time in the library, jamming out to these headphones. Overall, the quality on these is probably one of the best in the consumer headphone market. The added functions of being paired to two devices at once, as well as the noise cancellation is a huge plus! Highly recommend these for the student who needs something to cut through a noisy room and provide a great sound experience.
