    Best purchased so far. ANC is surprisingly good. One verdict is that it's hot while wearing for a long time, but feels better than an in-ear headphone in terms of comfort.

    I've owned a countless number of headphone over the years. My favorite has always been Bose Quiet Comfort, so I was somewhat skeptical about buying Sony. I am soooo glad I did, These are by far the best sounding headphones I've ever owned or heard. If you use any of the lossless HD streaming services, like Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music, or Amazon Unlimited, you will be amazed at the quality of the sound. Noise canceling is superb and offers features to quickly interrupt it when needed (just place your palm over the right earphone). Only drawback for me is ear pads can get a little sticky after prolonged listening. These are new best in class bluetooth, ANC headhones, IMO.

    I have never owned good headphones and I was sick of using the free Apple ear buds. They always fall out and hurt my ears. These head phones were great and cancelled the noise amazingly. I love the comfort as well.

    Amazing noise cancellation! I bought these for 4th of July because I’m sensitive to sounds & prone to panic attacks and these were so helpful with getting through firework shows!! Works better with constant sounds over sudden sounds given the technology but overall It did great to muffle the blasts! The noise cancellation can also be adjusted to hear more/less ambient noise in the app for different situations. Also offers high quality sound for music and the app and ear touch pad is very easy to use and helpful! I’ve only had a few issues connecting the Bluetooth to my laptop but it seems to only effect some apps(might be my computer issue) there is also a headphone cord to connect with if needed.

    Just used these on a long flight (10 hours). The noise cancelling worked very well, battery lasted the entire trip. It comes in a very nice compact case making it easy to put in my carry-on bag. It comes with a USB cable for recharging and a audio cable if you don't want to use Bluetooth. The sound quality is good.

    I love how this fits on my ears, it's comfortable and sounds good. The problem is when I have it connected to my tv, the audio and connectivity will have a delay sometimes and I have to either turn the headphones off or go through the sounds menu back to the headphones again to have it in sync again. Hopefully this is just a blip.

      Hi Deevs, Thank you for the awesome review! Good to know you love the comfortable fit and great sound quality of your new headphones. The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology.
