||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bought them because of the TONS of reviews i’ve seen about them, after owning them a month or so i can confirm these are really amazing headphones. The sound quality and clean almost natural bass is so amazing. The noise canceling is really good i’m still getting used to how it activates but it’s amazing man not much thought has to go into this purchase.

||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic pair of headphones sound quality wise. The frequency response signature is preferable to the Sony XM 5 headphones in my view. I must admit I worked them till they fell apart at the hinges. I am tempted to replace them with a new pair at the heavily discounted price but also own a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 3 and 4’s and have no way to justify the purchase to my better half. Still I can highly recommend them to give you multiple hours of enjoyment.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the price drop since the release of the XM5, these are a great value. Battery life was exactly as advertised, and maybe longer if not using bluetooth. Noise cancelling performance was great, although I don't have experience with the current XM5, so I can't compare.

Sony vs Bose
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sounds quality overall is okay but not as good as Bose. They do have a bit more bass than the Bose headphones but the notes and sound quality itself isn’t as good as the boss headphones. So if you want sounds quality don’t care for base I’d go with Bose. If your a bass head and don’t care much for quality of sound then grab these. They connect well and the app works sometimes with the headphones. But I went bald to the quiet comfort 45 Bose headphones. Just better sounding in my opinion you truly can’t go wrong with Bose they make better products.

Pricey but worth it if you care about music.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven’t test a different set of headphones but they sound really good, noise canceling its unreal when you have music on the only thing I notice is that they get kinda warm in your ear when they are self power, but I use them to edit videos with the cable in comes with and they don’t create any heat so they are more confortable to use. The only thing I didn’t like was the feature that silence music when you talk I think is way to sensitive but you can turn it off so after that there is no issues. Two things that I really like is the feature that you put your hand over the right headphone to listen the outside, and the other one is that you can change between 2 different Bluetooth devices and change between them very easy.

Great sound and NC function
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphones. I like to use these to drown out ambient noise while watching a movie. With the 360 sound imbedded into these phones it really immerses you into what you’re watching on screen. I actually prefer this to my sound bar. Also, the bass great but is not too punchy. The noise cancelling feature is my main selling point on these: drowns out a city bus and even on the subway. It may be a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for.

Excellent Headphones, Poor microphone
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to love these headphones, but the microphone quality isnt clear. Noise cancelling is top notch. Super comfortable. Audio is excellent. App works with ease. Auto Bluetooth switching between laptop and phone is amazing. The one negative I cant get over is the microphone quality. I have to use these for work conference calls, and the people on the other side had trouble understanding me. I'll had to return these for a pair with better mic quality. If you plan on using these as just headphones and the occasional phone call, I would definitely buy these. If you need clarity of voice for conference calls and audio blocking, maybe try something else like the Bose or Surface Headphone.

We are pleased you are satisfied with the incredible noise canceling function, amazing sound quality, multipoint connection function, and comfortable fit of these headphones.

One of the best over-ear wireless BT headsets
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned Bose QC 35 IIs, but I'm happy to be back in the Sony Eco-system. The ear cups are very comfortable and can be worn for hours at a time with minimal discomfort. A lot of convenient features such as the touch gestures, USB-C charging, and "hand over right earcup to talk to people" make this headset one of my favorite. The sound quality is on-par with the Bose, and I think the headband is more comfortable.

Great Sony Fidelity and Noise Cancelling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Strong technology which you would expect from Sony. The noise cancelation across the entire audio spectrum including an aircraft interior is impressive. Balance and fidelity are excellent. Controls are simple to master. The one negative is the relatively fragile feel of the head phones compared to older models.
