Great product
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second purchase of this product because the first one was soooooo good. I don't think there's another company that can top the sound, the quality, the technology, and the comfort that Sony produces out of this headphone.

Great Deal for great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these headphones are great. I got them on a black Friday deal. Although they are great, I would never pay retail on these or the XM5 or XM6. If you can get a deal, snag them.

Decent purchase..still figuring it out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the headphones. It sounds great and the nose cancellation is better than any other headphones in this price range. The only thing I'm struggling with is that sometimes it keeps pausing and randomly connects and disconnects automatically which is a little annoying. I'm not sure if anyone else has faced this of if just this piece is faulty.

Best headphones I've used
|Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are easily the best headphones I've ever owned. The audio quality out of the box is crazy good and I only had to tweak the EQ a tiny bit to get the bass exactly where I wanted it. The muffs do get a little hot after a while and can make my ears sweaty but I usually don't end up using them that long except on flights.

Great choice
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love the headphones. The over the ear is so comfortable. Sound is clear you hear everything thing. I also like how customizable the headphones are with the Sony app. Because each person has a preference on how they like to hear their music you can make it sound how you like it. The work great for exercising you feel like your in your own world with the noise canceling feature. Once you start talking it stop the music. I liked that feature but because I also like to sing I had to turn it off because I couldn’t get through a song without the headphones thinking I was having a conversation. But you have so much control on how you want the headphones to work that it’s a great choice for anyone.
