Great for isolating during flights. Long battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife hates flying. Got these for her on sale. She loves them, they help her with isolating and relaxing. She likes them better than her gen1 AirPod pros for that purpose. The touch/motion controls are a bit gimmicky. The sound cancelling is noticeably better than my 40 dollar (on sale) anker q30s, but for cost, even on sale, idk if it’s worth the extra $180. The Ankers get 90% of the sound that the Sonys cover. I mow the lawn and do yard work with the Ankers. They work just fine.

Amazing sound and features, buggy connection
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Long story short these are the best sounding wireless headphone I’ve used. However there seem to be issues connecting to my phone when the headphones first turn on The auto off feature is really great over the xm3’s however if you have the xm3s it’s the only real feature worth upgrading for
