    Probably the best noise cancelling cans in the industry. I can hardly hear anything with them on; not only that, the battery life is amazing and I only have to charge them once every week. Would recommend to others!

    Lets talk about the pros and cons Pros: excellent cancellation literally I can’t hear outside noise, don’t worry there’s an option to turn off the cancellation. Great sound quality I can hear the music clearly not like the other headphones I had. This Sony headphones is the best headphones I ever gotten. Buyyy it guys it’s really worth it. Oh yea let’s talk about the cons um let me think… there’s none.

From the quiet concentration needed on a bustling campus to the high-energy motivation required at the gym, these headphones are designed to adapt to any environment she finds herself in.

      The Dual Noise Sensor technology is perfect for blocking out the distractions of a crowded university library, while the foldable design makes them incredibly easy to toss into a gym bag between classes.

    The headphones were worth the price, as it has immense noise cancellation and noise adaptability. The audio is adjusted to the environment and its good with the fitting. The only issue is its swivel as it tends to break often.

    I love these headphones. These are the most comfortable, best sounding headphones I have ever had. Better than a comparable Bose. The problem is they don't last. I bought them in 2022. After several months the battery stopped charging. Looked on Youtube, talked to tech support and tried all of the resets. Nothing worked. They sent me a brand new pair. I was very happy. Less than a year later the exact same thing happened. They sent me another pair. Now that pair is not charging. Talked to customer service and they said the origninal pair has a 1 year warranty, replacements only have a 90 day warranty. So 3 pair in two years, all with the same problem. Apparently this is a common problem because there are videos all over youtube. So even though I loved them I cannot spend another $350 on a pair of headphones that have never lasted even a year. Bose here I come.
