Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful product. I put a name to a theory, the raptor theory. The theory is that if you buy cheap you end up paying more. These aren't cheap but well worth the price; you wont regret buying them.

Good ANC headphones but Sony lags behind Apple
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sounds. Great ANC. Good build quality. A must but when on sale. The “smart” features are a hit or miss though. Some really dumb limitations as well like only remembering two devices! Come on Sony, why can Apple do more and you cannot?! The sensor that detects if you have the headphones on doesn’t work if you’re laying on the bed... what a terrible design. Overall, Sony’s software development is far behind Apple when it comes to designing smart features for devices. I don’t recommend these headphones at full price, but at $278 it’s a must buy.
