Wow Wow Wow what a difference
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the bows headphones, the most expensive ones I think around $430. They accidentally got washed. I thought the Bose were pretty good until then. I then just did a little research and ended up buying these Sony's. What a difference. Night and day in every aspect better than the Bose

Quality Sound
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sounding product with one of the best apps that let you tune the sound to your exact preference. Amazing bass and good noise cancelling, however not better than the Air Pods Max noise cancelling in my opinion.

Great Headphones - Great Musicality and Great NC!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had these headphones for a few weeks now, and primarily bought them for the work environment. Later in the year, I will be transitioning to a noisy open cubicle floorplan, and that is why I bought this noise cancelling headphones. So far I am very impressed with the high quality musicality of the headphones, as well as the noise cancelling capabilities; my last corded NC headset was nowhere close to either in capabilities, but was fantastic at the time I bought them. This Sony headset has set the bar even higher! I now use them almost every workday, and some weekend days, just because they are so good. I highly recommend them to anyone, especially anyone using an Android phone.

Great except for build quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfort and sound are outstanding, truly amazing. I returned them because the arms slid too easily and I had to adjust them each time I put them on. Really disappointing for the price, but if you don’t mind this then definitely buy them.
