    The sound is good, the thing I dont like is that if you want better sound you have to purchase these apps. Also the noise cancellation is okay it could be better, I bought them to use them for the gym but even with the noise cancellation I can still here the gym’s music and The weights hitting the floor.

      Hi PauloJ,

      Thanks for sharing your experience. The Sony | Headphones Connect app is a free download and there is no purchase required to use the headphones. The app is an optional tool that provides additional customization and access to features that enhance the listening experience.

      For your specific desire for better noise cancellation, the WH-1000XM6 is our latest model and offers a significant upgrade in noise-cancelling performance. It features a new processor and an improved microphone array, which are designed to more effectively block out a wider range of ambient sounds.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
      Eliab sony-global

    I’ve had the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th series. If you already have a preceding series, probably not worth the upgrade, but if you don’t, these headphones are great. The battery life seems better than advertised and their quick charging capability is more valuable that one might think.

    Excellent sound cancelling head phones with some great features, such as being able to connect to two bluetooth devices at once and motion sensing sound adaptation. The sound quality is amazing. I bought these for both music and conference calls and I have found microphone is not that great for calls unless it is plugged in. Also, sound cancelling tends to make it difficult to hear your own voice, so I've noticed myself shouting when talking on the phone. Overall, they are great, but for the cost I was hoping for a more versatile head set.

    This was a replacement of the previous model, which I, I had for six or seven years and had served me well. The first had lasted a long time despite a lot abuse that had occurred due to a lot of air travel. The first model served me well, as is this purchase. I am getting familiar with the new features on these new headphones.
