Make it go BOOM
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a condo and watch movies at night till about 3am almost every night. I watch action, adventure which have a lot of sounds like bullets and explosions and I like to hear the action. These headphones provide excellent reception and I won't get evicted.

I get the hype now
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't have much to add to all of the wonderful things that have been said about these headphones. That said, I was concerned about call quality. Every YouTube reviewer I watched did their call quality tests next to generators or they would simulate the loudest coffee shop you could imagine but nobody tested the call quality when you're in a home office or some place quiet. I mean who stands next to a generator to take or make a call? Well, I can tell you the call quality in a regular environment is excellent. I've been using a Plantronics Focus UC headset. These are superior to the Plantronics . There's no comparison. Granted the Plantronics are 3 year old tech but they're designed for calls first and foremost. Finally, you have to go into the app and turn multipoint on. It's set to off by default. The app is rudimentary. It does the job. It can be buggy. I've been using it for months (Sony ear buds). It does everything you need it to do --- the graphics could use some work. If you have problems with the app -- delete it and reinstall. Also, the owners manual on the Sony site is extremely detailed. I solved several (ignorance) problems easily with online resources; I'm glad I bought these. Well worth the retail rice, imo.
