    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.

    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.

    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.

    I’ve been wanting these headphones for over 6 months, so when these went on sale for Black Friday, I didn’t waste a minute to buy them. These headphones are so comfortable and are truly noise-cancelling. They’re even good to use for work calls. Love that it can connect up to 2 devices at a a time, and I’ve only had to charge them 2-3 times in the month I’ve had them. Best splurge ever!
