Bought my first pair when they first came out and had to get another one once they broke. They truly do stand the test of time, I will never go back.

Headphone Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is for a Christmas Gift so not used to date. However, these were tried on in the store and my niece and I both thought they were better than the newer Sony model and Bose. We both have Bose headsets and these Sony are equal to at least the Bose.

Good noise cancelling, ok software
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are really good headphones. I got them for travel on a plane to drown out some of the noise. They do a good job of that. They are uncomfortable to wear with a mask as the cups press against the string and after a while, it hurts. Without the mask they are ok. I would imagine any headphones would have that issue these days. The sound is great. I do wish they had the Apple chip in them so they would integrate better with my iPhone.

Go To Headphones for Noise Canceling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing noise canceling. I was on an airplane with a crying baby behind me and could barely hear it. Great quality audio and I love the auto-adjust feature on the noise canceling too. Only downside is they get a little heavy if wearing for a long time.

Fantastic
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using Bose QC products literally for over 20 years. After getting the latest Bose 700 I was a little underwhelmed with its comfort level over a long flight. Swapped it out with Sony. It’s an outstanding product. The headphones fold quite nicely, which is always a bonus compared to Bose. The battery life is amazing.

Best headphones to date
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been buying the WH-1000XM's since they came out and Sony never fails to deliver. These improve in a couple ways from the XM3's. Multi pairing, cleaner bass, improved call quality. There also a new pause when you to to talk feature that I really enjoy, but you have to learn not to sign along with the music lol.

Great noise cancelling, but can't use lying down
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.really like this product! It has great sound quality and noise blocking, it really helps me block out my severe tinnitus (ringing in your ears) The only issue I have with this product is that for some reason it randomly turns off when using it while lying down and continues to do so after you keep turning it back on. Not sure if I have a faulty device or that just something that happens... But this headphone is worth it for me because of how great the noise canceling is!

Posted .Hi peace502,
We are glad you like the noise canceling of the headphones. Unfortunately, we do not recommend using headphones while lying down because wearing detection may not work properly, and the touch sensor control panel and CUSTOM button may not be available for operation. More details:

Best Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best sounding headphones i’ve heard. Used them on a trip to Hawaii need less to say lots of time on an airplane. Easy noise cancellation that made it perfect to either watch movies or take a nap. Quality is better than the aipod over the ears and pro’s.

The folding Sony to buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The xm3s refined and that what I wanted. Fits tighter and doesn't squeak when I put it on. Auto off when you take them off is great. Still fold for small compact package unlike the 5s. I think the battery is slightly less than the 3s but it does more.
