Good quality headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones with amazing audio quality. I choose those because they are light and foldable, plus they have wire and adapters for the airplane entertainment. The noise cancelling is great, even with screaming baby right behind my seat, I was able to relax and enjoy my music on the flight.

Best noise cancelling headphones no issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best over theear noise cancelling headphones so far in the market. These are more comfortable than their predecessors and also believe that the sound quality is also improved. The structure is more stiff and sturdy then xm3. The ability to connect to to devices at the same time is very useful as I use my phone and computer at the same time. The cup size is 10% larger so they are more comfortable as well and their ability to reduce incoming sound while speaking to someone is also very useful. They have everything that I could have asked for.

Traveling companion
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this for travel, mainly on airplanes. Excellent sound quality, maybe a little bass heavy depending on your preferences, but you can correct for that. Good noise cancellation, and the transparency and passive modes are good features. I like the combination of physical buttons and the touch sensitive controls for forward/back, pause/play, and volume. Not as comfortable on the top of my head as I remember my Bose QCs were, foam could be softer or deeper.

As outstanding as people say
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This must be my 6th set of headphones. All of the others were name brand; none of them holds a candle to the Sony's. The noise cancellation is perfect; if you need to hear the person next to you, you just put your hand over the right phone and you hear them clearly. The musical sounds are bright and clear; it's the best stereo separation I have ever had. Very long battery life. I have used these headphones more in the last month that several others in a year. I cannot recommend these highly enough.

I like them. I think you will like them too.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had no idea that wireless headphones could sound so good. Decent bass reponse. In addition the noise cancellation is excellent. I am in my own world with these on. No planes flying overhead, noise from fans, TV's blaring in the background and loud people. I have connected the headphones to my iPhone, MacBook, Google Chromecast, Two smart TV's and even my Desktop computer. The two device capablitiy is convenient and the phone conversations sound pretty good for both parties. The battery life is really good and charging is pretty fast.

Great sound, annoying features
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.(1) The noise cancellation is great when playing music/video but when only using the noise cancellation I can still hear people speaking, it's kinda annoying. (2) The low-end frequencies are great. I do music production in these using FL Studio and Pro Tool and they perform great, better than my Beats Studio 2. (3) The Talk-to-Chat feature is annoying. I usually turn it off b/c the headphones will pick up on me singing or laughing at a movie and switch me to hearing everything around me. (4) The touch volume is annoying it doesn't allow you to slide your finger from low to max volume, instead you have to do a series of quick swipes to change the volume.

Posted .Hi Cwilson,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the Speak-to-Chat, touch controls, and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.
The noise canceling function is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.
To change the volume continuously: Swipe up or down and hold. Release at the desired volume level.
Hope this helps. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.

Great comfort, sound, and battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I've had three sets of noise cancelling headphones in the last year and wish I would have just gotten these first. I had the 710n, which sounded good but is noticably smaller in the ears, leading to discomfort on long flights. Battery life is epic - easy two full days of use. Sony tends to be a bit bass heavy, but the app allows adjustment to your tastes. Noise cancelling is a big step up from the 710n - easily keeps up with an airplane cabin. Keep an eye out for sales as you can usually get them for $50 off or more.
