My $100 earphones sound beter
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought them and used them for nearly a month, going after all the "best noise cancelling headphones ever" reviews. Sure, they cancel out most noise, but what's the point of that if they're going to sound bad? My Bose SoundSport Wireless (2 year old) earphones sound WAY better than these ~$300 headphones. I didn't have a lot of expectations going in for a Sony (being used to Bose/JBL). Somehow, I still came out disappointed. Would NOT recommend to anyone who cares about audio quality even one bit :(

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an older version of these headphones. I do not like one of the features of this newer version. It adjusts the volume based on your environment. I am hearing impaired, so that can be disruptive.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for the intention of gaming, music, work, etc. It had a ton of features, a specific app, great audio quality, however, it has one major flaw. As soon as I tried gaming with them, it became extremely muffled. Idk why but it thought it was background noise so it tried to tune the sound out which defeated the whole purpose. As far as I could tell it was only me who was affected. Will be returning these within an hour of purchase.
