The noise cancellation at work and on airplanes is incredible. I’ve had some synching with my phone, but I don’t really care about that.

The King of Noise Cancelling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are in a class of its own. I read a lot of hype about these and decided to finally get them. I'm glad I made the move to get them. Syncing up to two devices at once is perfect for my job. Also the Noise canceling puts you in your own little world. The Midnight blue is beautiful by the way.

Best Purchase ever!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looked all over for replacement headphones for autistic son who has a larger head. These are awesome! He loves the noise cancelling capability and we love that he just has to cover one ear to hear us when we are talking to him reducing the number of times he is pulling the headphones on and off.

Fine headphones, terrible seller (Best Buy)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product seems fine, but don't buy from Best Buy, they won't support you as a customer. They have no problem wasting 9+ hours of your time refusing to honor the word of their chat/phone support, and even their "executive resolution" team will acknowledge that the experience is "not what they want for their customers" but still refuse to do anything to make it right. Looking at you "Elida", who had the power to fix this but refused. Don't waste your time with Best Buy, they won't support you as a customer.

Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best part of the headphones is definitely the noise cancelling. I am in college and I can tune out people being loud with these headphones so I can study. I can also just touch side of headphones to turn on transparency mode so I can hear if someone is talking to me.

Excellent for noise canceling, mics OK.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a long trial period of 3 different Sony noise-canceling headphones, these are no doubt the best of their line. I would have given them 5 stars but the only drawback was the mics. When placing calls, the receivers of the calls mentioned that I was not as clear as a previous set of headphones from another brand. Still, these headphones are by far one of the best I have owned.

Very good product.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These work very well, unfortunately do not work the best on my shape of ears, but that's just me. Very good sound quality, decent mic quality, and very good noise-cancelling. I like the feature that pauses audio/video when the headphones are removed, and resumes when placed back on.

Great headphone!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This cancels a lot of noise. Like when my wife asks me to do the dishes I don’t have to because these Sony’s cancelled it out. It’s like, if school is cancelled I’m not going to chemistry class. Just like when I can’t hear the request for dishes to be done. Buy these. Never do dishes again.

Great Noise Cancelling Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason I didn't buy XM3 was lack of support for 2 devices so as soon as these came out I was happy that Sony had finally fixed this issue. Afterwards it was an easy decision to buy. Noise Cancellation is awesome. Really like the midnight blue color which only seems to be available at Best Buy.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing headphones and have great build quality and sound. Only thing I have reservations is easy of set up and the battery seems to drain quick and takes a long time to charge, other than that they're great.

Reasonable Price High Quality Sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound and very customisable from the Sony Connect App. 5 band equalizer allows frequency response to your liking. Midrange for me needed a little boost which was easy to do. Hi Rez codec (LDAC) supported and sounds great but only available on Android phones.
