There is a defect the warranty will not cover
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality sound. Loved these. But it has been under a year, and they have broken due to a defect in the right swivel piece. I was literally putting them on my head like I always do, and the right swivel cracked. When I went to Sony for the 1-year warranty, they said they wouldn't cover physical damage even though this is a defect common in this specific kind of Sony headphone. They then wanted me to pay $90 only for labor to get them fixed. This $90 did not include the other cost that would be required. I would also have to pay for shipping both ways, which was $20 each. So if you don't mind them breaking in under a year and paying such a large price, then get them. The headphones have good sound quality but take a long time to connect to devices and can sometimes randomly disconnect. The sound quality is phenomenal, though, so there's that. But all in all, I feel like I've been robbed and wasted my money.

Good Sometimes but not all the time.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had these headphones for a couple days with hours of listening but returned them. The noise canceling feature was amazing when it worked. My AC was almost completely silenced and noises while running errands were much quieter, making my audio content much more engrossing. If you’re a bass head, you will be underwhelmed but if you like a nice balance of highs, mids, and a decent amount of low frequencies, you’ll like these. Unfortunately the pair I bought started to develop a slight hissing noise. It sounded like wind in a microphone or the faint sound of a waterfall in the distance. The hissing sound would take me out of the experience of my music or podcast. Whenever there was a pause in a conversation or a fade out of music, I would start to notice the hiss. I thought switching between devices would be easy but it was cumbersome. Switching from an iPad to an iPhone took some effort, having to restart the app or switch off Bluetooth on one device. The app isn’t properly designed for the iPad either so you’ll either have thick black borders or a stretched UI meant for phones. I will reconsider purchasing these headphones again since I hear so much praise for Sony’s noise canceling tech but I will wait a few months. By then I hope manufacturing, software, and firmware is refined to avoid this problem. Best Buy has been great and I will continue shopping here for years.

Posted .Hi TurtleScarf, we're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you had to return these headphones because of the hissing sound. Resetting and initializing the headset might have resolved this issue. The multipoint function ( Connecting the headset to 2 devices simultaneously) must be turned on using the Sony Headphones Connect app.
We appreciate this honest review. Rest assured that this feedback would help us improve the quality and performance of our products. We hope you consider Sony in your future purchase.
