||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily the best pair of headphones I have ever owned. I tried multiple top tier brands and this was by far the most comfortable over the ear. The sound quality is clear, which I found was not the case in some of the other brands. The noise canceling is way above my expectations, it cuts out everything with the exception of really loud noises close to you. There are alot of features that i could go on about. They are pricey but definitely worth the cost if the cost alone is not the deciding factor.

Great Headphones
|Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I think these headphones are great. The battery lasts plenty of time on a single charge. The sound quality is great, as is the noise canceling feature. The Sony Headphones app is a must for these. They are not for exercising or sports, since they are not water resistant or very tight. Great for commuting and leisure.

Excellent ANC, but Ambient mode could be better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, it's a great product. I'm not a huge music person, but i still can appreciate the audio improvements over my Pixel buds pro. The ANC is excellent, but the ambient mode could be better. It still works and is perfectly usable, but found it slightly worse than my Pixel buds pro and no where as good as the Airpods pro, which is $100 cheaper. But other than that, it's very comfortable to wear and then battery life is great.

Expect Sony Sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling is great. Not quite as loud as I would like them to be but overall sound is very good. Construction is not quite as robust as I thought they would be. Great value compared to competition.

Best headphones I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that i can connect to my work laptop and phone at the same time, and they seemlessly go back and forth between devices without me having to touch anything. I have had them about a month now, and they have been amazing on charge as well as sound quality. I would say I get 100% noise cancelling in the office and about 95% on the plane. So for me they are once again great.

Greatest noise cancelling headphones!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great! I use them about an hour or three a day and after two weeks was down to 30% battery! They block out so much noise. I got them for when I sew so I don’t have to crank up the speakers and disturb my family. I really like the sensor in them that stops playback if I take them off, so much easier than finding my device to pause or rewind with my previous headphones. I like that I can adjust the volume and skip tracks on the headphones by swiping. Highly recommended!

Best headphones I've ever owned!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are hands down the best headphones I've owned and I've had the CH700s(I think thats the right line), XB900s, Anker Space 45s and then these, and these are the best when it comes to noise cancelling and sound quality. I will say that the XBs are definitely better when it comes to bass but that's the point of the XBs (Xtra Bass). I am not disappointed with these headphones!

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is phenomenal. I only use them to watch my Samsung tv. The actors so often mumble; now I can understand them. The only problem I have is I keep getting crackling interference so I have to shut the system off and start over. I have shut down all Bluetooth devices but it didn’t change anything. They are also very comfortable; I don’t feel them on my ears or head. The noise canceling works beautifully.

Tolerate thy neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love my headphones. The noise cancelling is simple to use just set up the app, and your'e ready. I barely hear when my neighbor is vacuuming their uncarpeted floor. The connectivity is a little spotty over bluetooth but the jack works well with things like a Roku remote. Loved that I got them on sale. Didn't much care for the free Pandora.

Drown out the noise
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My best friends have this headphones, and i saw them use it during our flight, so that’s what really influenced me to get these. The fact that it was already blocked out any noise just by putting it on, had me really impressed. It took me a little to play around with the settings and whatno, but this was by far one of the best purchases i’ve made!

XM4 review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent investment, it lasts long, has amazing sound quality, and is simply comfortable to wear, but they do start weighing on you after you have worn them for a while, like for 3-4 hours straight.
