Sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best noise canceling headset for the money. I got mine on sale and it is just great! I will say the only annoying part is having to download the Sony app to pair it to my phone. Other than that I am pleased with it!

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancellation is great, audio adjustments are just perfect. pads are somewhat okay, wish it was a bit more comfy but i hardly use these only when I truly have enough time for some time to myself. It's worth the price for me :)

The hype is somewhat right.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great. It is. Im not a radiohead to speak on highs and lows. All I know is when I put on my cans, I want it to sound clear and thump where it suppose to thump. Saying that, I feel these squeeze just a bit too much for me on the head. Also, singing along to the song would sometimes cause the music to stop. I ended up taking them back and getting the Bose 700s.

Posted .Hi LDaniel, it's unfortunate you had to return these headphones despite its great sound quality. We do appreciate your feedback about it's fit. The Speak-to-Chat function can be disabled by holding your 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat deactivated”. Thanks for your review and we hope you consider Sony in your future purchase. ~Ralph

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality very good overall. When noise cancellation is on things like wind or ac can cause weird scratching noise, but otherwise noise cancellation is very good and the auto adjustments based on situation are very cool.

Go-To Heaphondes
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE these headphones. The sound quality, the noise-canceling feature, the controls, etc are all very good. The only reason it is not a 5-star is that the microphone is VERY bad. When I am on the phone with someone or in a virtual meeting, no one can ever hear me and when they do, the sound it very muffled.
