Very good, but not the best.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good sound, but not excellent. I prefer the quality of the Bose 700 by a substantial margin. The one area where these headphones excel is the bass. The sony app is also inferior to the Bose Music app. I frequently had issues with disconnections, especially when trying to pair multiple devices (my MacBook Pro and iPhone).

Very nice...and the blue doesn't hurt either....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality LDAC, excellent ANC, and utilize the wired connection for a better sound option (saves battery life as well). Got the midnight blue. I had the XM3s and no real difference...except if you need multi-point connections.

- Cons mentioned:Volume
Good but not loud enough
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound very good, lots of good features. But despite all that, they do not have good volume. All songs on all platforms i listen at 100% and still wish they would go louder. Im well versed in electronics and tweaked all settings. But alas, still weak at 100% volume. Would have been perfect if were louder. Will be returning them tomorrow. Not worth the high price tag if you cannot enjoy your music.

Posted .Hi S007V,
We're glad that you like the amazing features of the headphones particularly the sound quality. It's unfortunate that you are already looking to return the headphones because the volume is not living up to your expectations. Make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
Reconnecting the Bluetooth device to the headset once again may also help improve volume issues.

Great sound and long lasting battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. I upgraded from the mx3 because of the ability to connect two bluetooth items at once. To my untrained ear they sound really close to the mx3 which isn't a bad thing at all.

Better than airpod max

Dont have super hearing, so i think this is better because of light plastic weight. Althougt some think light weight plastic felt cheap but i rather wear something light weight with quality than something heavey.

Quality Headphones with Extraneous Features
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, however, I do not think these headphones offer the greatest sound for the price range. It offers many touch control features such as being able to lower/higher the volume with a stroke of a finger, disable noise cancellation by hovering your hand over the right earphone and many others, but I did not see myself using these features often. Some things I think are important to point out: These are primarily wireless bluetooth headphones in that they need to be connected via bluetooth to be able to modify and get the enhanced audio quality settings via their app. If you use these headphones strictly wired, the audio quality is noticeably worse. This does not seem like too big of an issue for me since they charge relatively quickly. On that note, these headphones cannot be used while they are charging. With that being said, I still enjoy these headphones, but if I had the option to buy these again, I think I would probably choose the Bose QC35 that are available for around the same price since I have had a better experience with Bose overall.
