Good
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling if you’re set on having top quality technology. The app is beneficial to use for eq and adapting to your ears. These have very clear and balanced audio. Unfortunately I can’t give this pair 5 stars due to them not being as loud as I would like. I tend to listen to my music full blast.

Noise cancelling headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It really cancels out noise when you just want to lock in. Really helped me during my days to study for the boards. I love going to cafe, but sometimes it could get really loud, but with this device. It helped me focus better because of the noise cancellation it provides.

love it!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love this headset!!!!!!! It's amazing in that it sounds 3D. I don't know how they do that? The noise canceling is superb The one thing that I would say is that they skimp where the. over the ear part connects to the Upper part that goes over your head. I don't know what that would be called. I could look it up, but I'm not going to waste my time I guess to get it at this price point, they just use plastic and I've had it break twice on me and I'm so glad I got the extended warranty.

Best Value
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for the LDAC bluetooth capability. It worked well, and sounded pretty good. However, I returned these since my Apple Airpods Max sounded just as good to my aging ears. So, these became unnecessary. If you won't be connecting to apple products, pick these over the the AirPods Max, they are a way better value. If you do plan to use with Apple products, the AirPods max will give you a better more robust experience.

Meh - the XB910 would have been fine.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tested this for the past 3 days.. so my time is limited but a total of 20 hours. Bluetooth to my computer was easy to setup, but the volume up and down worked and stopped. The audio quality was poor, in games which makes me believe its a driver issue, but I stopped using them because of the performance. - Voice chat was clear and the range was about 50% more than my Logictech headset, allowing me to run to the front door and kitchen without disconnection. Using these headphones on the phone is ok. Audio is great. The Volume up and down touch pad is complete trash and non responsive. Design: great comfort, tested twice for 6 hours straight. Audio: good audio quality, with an app to allow for controlling Base and Treble settings. I bought these on sale and think I over spent for the issues I am having with the touch pad.

Great sound, good noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super sound from Sony! I did a little more research after my purchase on what all the noise canceling is supposed to cancel which made me feel better that these do what they're supposed to & 100% noise canceling isn't possible. I bought these to knock down noise from 2 loud kiddos while I'm working on my masters at home. They cut out a ton of normal household hums & noises, but don't quite cut out all of the kids' unpredictable sounds. Ear cups get a little sweaty & overall weight is a little heavy after a couple hours of school work--but that's when I know it's time to be done :-) Lastly, I like the talk, controls, & 2nd bluetooth features.
