Best headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went through a LOT of headphones until we found these. Out of all the new Sony headphones, these are by far the best. Bose were terrible and other Sony models we tried were crap, even the more expensive ones. There are where it’s at! Noise canceling is perfect. Sound leakage is minimal, sound is great

Top of the Line
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for something with superior sound quality, in addition to BlueTooth connectivity and noise cancellation and these delivered exceptionally well. Having the ability to adjust the level of noise-canceling is amazing. They sound better than anything else on the market and using 8D audio really allows them to showcase their full potential.

Good Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my opinion this is one of if not the best ANC headphones for under 500 USD. I would probably get a skin on them since the matte material can get scratched up but other than that, it is a very good device

Great Battery & Music Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones- this is my second pair. Only con is they can slide off my head every once in a while (it is smaller than average though). The battery power is 10/10. Sound quality is amazing. Noise canceling is 9.5/10. Would definitely recommend!
