    My favorite headphones to date. Super comfortable and the sound quality is excellent. The noise canceling feature is next level and the fact that I can be connected to two devices at the same time and not have to manually switch back and forth between devices is pretty cool. Highly recommended.

    Headphone was very comfortable. I wore it while sleeping on a 5 hour flight and had no issues. The sound quality is great, watching movies and listening to music was a game changer for me. $350 is worth the price but is understandably expensive for most. If you ever see this on sale be sure to pick it up.

    My daughter wanted one and then I bought one about a week later. Yes they are expensive hence why the best buy credit card came in handy. I have always been a Bose kinda girl and never even tried Sony. EVER! I am not even a fan of the look but I am taking continuing education at the college and I like to study in the campus center and that place is so loud. The students are always yelling and while the amount of people help me stay focused the noise does not. These headphones are amazing they knock out all the noise. The really fun part is when you go to talk the music stops and you can hear the other people without having to remove them

    Awesome noise-cancelling headphones. Comfortable and the noise cancelling feature is really, really good; I wear these all day at work as the ability to pair to 2 devices simultaneously is a game changer. The recent Sony headphones app update fixed a few issues I was having with Adaptive Sound. They’re perfect!

    I like these headphones a lot. Pretty comfortable and light. Nice features and noise cancellation. They do not feel expensive but function like they are. I liked them enough to buy me and my brother a pair. The black pair is low key but the midnight blue pair adds a little touch of color but both are still subtle.

    Great Headphones, I had the 2nd generation and those were already quality headphones and these are still miles better, the notice canceling is top-notch. They are just as good as the Bose 700 which I have tried as well, even more comfortable, and for about 100 dollars left a much much better deal. Sony knows what they're doing!

    I love the xm4 I had the bose but they did not feel as good of a quality as these. the noise cancellation was a bit iffy however I could over look it as I live in a very busy overcrowded city and so I cut the headphones some slack!

    Got these bad boys on sale for $250.00. ANC is good, took them on a flight to Vegas and significantly reduce the sound of the jet engine however if your expectation is for the to completely eliminate that is unrealistic. Also, doesn’t do a good job canceling peoples voices, so if you getting them to get piece and quite from your family look elsewhere. Audio quality is excellent and plenty of adjustments available via the Sony app.

    They have ready great sound. HPs are very customizable for a person's noise cancelling preferences. They are very comfortable to wear. Damien, Store Manager, at Arundel Mills MD store gave me the sale discount because the sale price had ended unbeknownst to me 2 days earlier. So I got a ready great price.

    I’ve owned pretty much the previous 2 generations of this and this model is by far the best. It’s lighter, and I love how we can finally connect to 2 devices! Took them long enough. I’ve been a fan of the touch features and being able to hold a hand over the ear cup to let sound in. Now you can enable when you speak for it to stop playing and that’s super convenient but of course can be annoying sometimes too. But I definitely recommend these over any of the other headphones on the market.
