      Hi NikG, we're glad you like the sound quality of our product! We're sorry to hear that you have an issue using the headphones on the gym. As it turns out, the headphones aren't quite designed for sports. To prevent the unit from falling, adjusting the headband and the earpads properly can help for a firmer hold and better noise canceling experience.

      If you require any additional support with regard to this product, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details: Name: Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number:

    These are the best headphones I have everrrrr owned. Although I kind of regret buying the headphones in black and I wished I should've bought them in silver. Anyways it doesn't matter the quality and sound of these headphones are amazing! I also enjoyed the noise-canceling option, I can finally stop hearing my upstairs neighbors from doing a ton of noise.

    These are great! I took these on my most recent airplane travel, and they were wonderful. They blocked out alll the noise I didn't want, but allowed me to hear important announcements. Of course, I could also listen to the movies in comfort.

    I'd actually purchased same item 10/31 and then saw Black Friday sale - sadly wasn't allowed to price match so forced to return 1st pair only to buy same again but $100 less. GREAT headphones, though. Excellent sound & great noise cancelling. Sorry to waste employee time returning and restocking but wasn't letting a $100 savings go.
