Amazing headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are easily the best headphones I have ever owned. My only regret is that I did not buy them sooner. I love the noise cancellation and the touch controls on the right ear. The speak feature that lowers the volume and turns off ANC for a period of time is awesome, but it is not for me. If I respond and just say yea to someone it activates. Great feature, just not for me.

Better than Bose!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I haven't gotten a pair of great headphones for 15 years, it was time to update my Bose. With every intention of getting another Bose I fell in love with the Sony. Comfortable to wear, easy to hard wire to your phone or i-pod or i-pad or to set it up wireless. Love the wireless and blue tooth capabilities. Sales rep was very helpful in getting me set up.

Best noise canceling headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing bluetooth audio headset. Best noise canceling headphones out there bar none. Everyone I show these to and have them try them are blown away on the noise canceling effectiveness of them. Only con is that you cant use them for gaming on a computer/use the built in mic at the same time (bluetooth limitation in general for stereo audio/mic usage at the same time)

Fantastic Headphones worth every penny.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am 80% deaf and am not able to read the fine print any longer. I listen to audible books, these headphones are the answer to transient sounds leaking around the seals of the ear muffs. I am extremely satisfied with these headphones, words cannot express my appreciation of these very comfortable and hearable headsets.

Best headphones for the money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to go for the best bluetooth headphones on the market and I am very happy with the purchase. My wife works from home and she needed headphones that can help her focus on her work. She consistently raves about not hearing me while I move around the house. If I try to call her name with her headphones on she has to take them off because she can't hear me.

Best noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones on the market in this price range. I also own Beats Studio Pros 3 and Bose QuietComfort 35ii. The noise cancellation is spectacular. The sound is very good as well. I also like that they give you the ability to modify the sound through their app. I got these when they were on sale for 249. Well worth the price.
