Skullcandy Crusher ANCs bow in respect to these.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You already know. These are by far the best headphones for the price. I originally had the skullcandy crusher ANCs, and thought I would miss the bass. However upon revisiting them today, the clarity of the Sony's sound with great bass, far outweigh the eye rattling subwoofer bass from the ANCs

Wanted to love them
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really was excited about these headphones. I’ve had my Bose QC35-II headphones for a few years and looking for better sound quality and audio during phone calls. I will say that with the EQ settings available, the sound quality was much better than my Bose. However, I had lots of connectivity issues with my iPhone 11 Pro and my latest generation iPad Pro. It would frequently stop working in the middle of movies or music and would have to resync them. If that was all, I probably could have lived with it as I’m sure they will fix some of those issues in firmware. But, the call quality just wasn’t there. I always sounded hollow/electronic to the people I was speaking with. Maybe this will also be fixed in a firmware upgrade, but at $349 that’s just too much to hope that they fix it. I really like the look, sound quality and features of the Sony’s, but do r now I’ll head back to Bose for their updated version and hope that someday the Sony’s can get their firmware better.

My girlfriend loves it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my girlfriend couple days ago. She kept taking my airpods pro because of the ANC. These provide ANC and are stylish while doing so. My girlfriend fell in love instantly and uses them all day because of the 30 or so hour battery.

Good headphones, slightly cheap feeling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, excellent noise cancelling. Touch controls aren't exactly my favorite but these headphones make up for it everywhere else. Only real complaint is the headband feels a lot cheaper than the older WH-1000XM3s, instead of soft touch plastic it's a really awful feeling scratchy kind. Not encouraging at nearly $300

Best Value and Audio Quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best over the ear headphones ive ever owned. Great sound quality and they are super comfortable. Noise cancelling is great but would be better if the transparency mode was a little better sound can be a little muffled and hard to hear compared to AirPods Max or standard Air Pods Transparency modes.
