Wish they were smaller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really loved the sound on these. Bought them for the primary purpose of enjoying my music more but fell in love with the ANC. The connection to 2 devices was really nice too. Wanted to keep them but they were unfortunately a little too big and would slip off my head if I tilted my head forward/backward or tried to work out

Best investment ever
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best investment ever. These things are just wonderful. the ability to be in your own world while listening to music or watching movies is unprecedented. the best time I had with this is when I took an air trip to Europe. the ability to not hear noise and just sleep was awesome... I also like the additional features in the cans such as the equalizer, push to talk and also multiple devices link up...

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love this headphones, the sound quality, the comfort, the overall experience has been great. my only concern is the built quality, is not that is bad, its just that they don't feel like $350 headphones, besides that, this are great.

Great upgrade from Bose QC 35 after app settings
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Long-time owner of the Bose QC 35 and I’m glad I took the leap. I owned the QC 35s for several years now, and it still works great. To me, the upgrade in going to this pair of Sony wireless headphones wasn’t there until I changed the configurations in the Sony app to my preference. After those configurations, the sound quality made a world of a difference. I still prefer the buttons on the Bose QC 35, and the part of the headphones that goes over the top of your head on the Bose feels more comfortable to me. I will still alternate between using both, but will definitely grab these Sony headphones when I really want to appreciate the music sound quality, especially the 360 reality audio song selections on Amazon Music.

Amazing Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing! I probably spent an hour in the store trying to convince myself that the Bose and Beats headphones were better than the Sony ones but my ears would not let me! I bought these to drown out the noise while studying and they work perfect. When you put your hand on the outside of the right speaker you can hear the noise outside of the headphones. Truly amazing!!!!!

The best you can buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth every penny, got this on sale for two seventy eight. -Noise cancelling 10/10 -Sound quality music 10/10 -Sound quality voice 8/10 (some distortion but that’s to be expected of most headphones) -Comfort 8/10 (perhaps I have a bigger head but it does clamp me a bit after 3-4hr use) -Style points 8/10 (personally I think the beats have flashier colors and more modern shape) In the current market as at august 2021, these are the best that money can buy before going into studio level headphones
