    Really like these for traveling. Noise cancelling is great for the noises of plane/train. Sometimes have trouble switching connection from phone to computer but besides that no issues. I bought them full price and I recommend waiting for a sale or looking at prices elsewhere like Amazon. Had lots of issues with my AirPods charging and now these Sony are my go to.

    Overall sound is great! Only complaint is the product turns off randomly almost every time I use them. The battery is one of the biggest perks. I typically use them every other day and charge about once a week.

      Hi RosieReview, Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality and battery life. We're sorry if the headphones randomly turns off. Allow us to help and turn your experience around.

      If the headset is turned off automatically, please try the following:
      When you wear the headset over a cap, cloth, a scarf, hair, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. The automatic power off function may trigger and the headset may be turned off automatically. Wear the headset so that your ears are inside the earpads.
      When the automatic power off function is set to [Do not turn off] on the [System] tab of the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, wearing detection will continue to work and the symptom may be improved.
      Make sure the battery is fully charged.
