Nice and Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones exceeded my expectations. They are very light and comfortable to wear for those long airline flights or just watching movies at home. I was surprised to find that I can connect them to my TV for the best surround sound experience when watching movies. The noise cancelling works really well, I often times do not hear people talking to me when I have them on. The case if very compact and sturdy.

Sony Vs Apple
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great! Noise cancellation is amazing. I picked them up for sale and now I got my dad some for the original price. They are the older versions apparently but I think they are in competition with the Apple Max’s I previously used for sure

I reall
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hi quality headphones with some great features. The noise cancelling is really good, and like the option to have it wired as well. You will want to mess with the settings on the mobile app as well as it will help control some of the features that can be useful at times, and other times not what you want at the time like speak to pause feature. Some people might not like this if they don't want to use the app or using the touch panel to control the headphones.

Honest review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sexiest, best sounding, CRAZIEST NOISE ISOLATION I HAVE EVER USED IN ALL MY YEARS IN EXPLORING NEW HEADPHONES (my experience) battery life is long and when you pair it with the sony headphones app you get so many features my favorite is the ambient sound mode it like turns off everything and turns on all the mics and it honestly feels like I have no headphones on so I can have these on listening to music while getting the perfect sound quality while still engaging in a conversation with someone next to me

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the price drop since the release of the XM5, these are a great value. Battery life was exactly as advertised, and maybe longer if not using bluetooth. Noise cancelling performance was great, although I don't have experience with the current XM5, so I can't compare.

Worth Every Penny
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What's there to say that hasn't already been said, its the build, its the sound quality, its the look, the battery life, etc. These are pretty much the go-to as far as Over-the-Ear headphones are concerned and for good reason. They recently released the XM5s which apparently have slightly better noise-cancelling and quality but honestly for the price(especially during a sale) you can't go wrong with these!

Awesome sound but weak build quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is excellent. Clear, crsip, music with plenty of bass for most types of music. Wouldnt recomended if you only listen to rap. Mostly using it for pop, kpop, jpop, jazz. 80s and 90s. Build quality weak. Made of plastic, not expecting to last more than 2.5 years. Previous sony headphones broke at the swivel by the ear piece. Nice carry case, great battery life, decent noise canceling especially on flights. Slighty pricey, look for a sale and handle the product with care.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones better than beats hands down. I bought a pair of beats studio and didn’t like the fit and sound was poor. For the price you would think the sound would be better. I exchanged them for these and wow they are awesome. The sound is great and super comfy. It took me a sec to get use to the no buttons on the headphones but I do like that you can turn them off manually vs beats that to turn it off you have to close them. So far they are running smooth and comfy. Def recommend.
