I literally spent part of my flight sleeping comfortably without music playing because of how good the noise cancelling is. Can wear for hours with glasses and battery life is great.

Great quality
|Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved these headphone for studying. The noise cancellation on them is amazing and the customizable features and buttonless gestures are so cool. However, if you are looking to get these for the gym, I would stray away because these aren’t meant for that and I dont think they are water resistant. They also dont fold so they aren’t too portable, but they did come with a case and everything is high quality.

Exceptionally clear
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall excellent headphones. The connectivity doest alway work first try, the talk to speak option could use refining and I find the overall sound isn't as warm as I'd like but it does excel at producing clear tones. They have great battery life and the noise canceling is the best ive seen, better than my the bose qc45 headpones i previously had. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and find them better than my previously headphones.

Excellent Noise Cancelling, Sound Quality 30h Batt
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are by far, the best noise cancellation in the world. The active feature continually adjusts the environment and dials in the cancelling. My ears are in heaven. Use on the airplane, and it's 30hr battery make international travel so comfortable. My last set of Sony NC headphones lasted over 10 years and are still going. DONT THINK ABOUT IT...BUY THESE oh...the sound AMAZING. Also, if the battery ever dies...they STILL WORK as wired headphone.

bessttttt headphones
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I have ever used. They are comfy, sleek, and very much noise cancelling. I put them on sometimes even without music just to block out noise and they are perfect. Not to mention the sound. The sound on these is heaven, it amplifies the noise in a way no other headphones can compare. It’s 100% worth the price

Clarity
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a nice pair of over the ear headphones when these caught my eye. I think apart from the sound quality, the design is a nice form and not too bulky. As soon as I put them on the first time, the first thing was the bass response. Overall sound is tight, punchy and articulate.

Nice sound quality, good battery.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got them for flying, but now using them at the desk when working a lot. Battery life is great, Type C charging is a big plus, App for Android works 100% of the time, and have had not issues switching audio from a laptop, Desktop and phone! Noise canceling is great hear almost no plane noise, and the audio still sounds great. Placing a hand over the right ear will turn on ambient sound, thought that was lame but turns out to be very nice to have.

Good Headphones - curious on new model differences
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my wife for Mother’s Day - she uses them everyday for hours on end. It’s been a few months and no abnormal wear and battery life still seems good. They feel on the flimsier side of headphones but I think it was intentional. I have no concerns of them breaking. She uses an IPhone and has no issues using any of the feature.

Worth it...
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At this price you'd expect to get a certain level of sound quality and these Sony's deliver. Battery life comfort user friendly in every aspect. Best of all is the sound. The detail is incredible no booming bass or mind numbing highs. Crisp detailed sound best describes these things. Give them a listen you won't regret it.
