Fragile like my heart
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I miss these.. They would be a 5 star if my pair hadn’t broken so easily. Sound quality, noise cancelling, and weight/comfort ratio are all top of the line in its respective market. Just don’t let them slip off your neck unless your reflexes are impeccable.

Great product!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned Sony XM4s, Boses, etc. Bose has released a competive model. It costs $100 more and have been able to compare in store it depends on concern with sound or noice cancellation. Best buy had this model and sell for $299 and even looked for a price without me asking. The manager, Keith, is really a super person. He told mechechas been at Best Buy for 17 years. I haveckbown him for 12 years, since day I moved back to Gainesville Store. I check online, but purchased most of items at this store I was cocerned with both. My opinion this model is better than the new Bose.

Sony headphones amazing!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this headphones have been amazing... My son enjoys useing them everyday when he works out and also the hand gestures that you can wave your hand over the right side of the headphone makes it lot real easy instead of clicking on your phone or pushing the button... I would definitely recommend to anybody that works out and wants noise cancellation to stay focused...

Worthwhile upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from the XM4's to these.
