Comfortable and stylish
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like how comfortable they are and how you can tap the side of them to control things like sound and you can skip or go back on songs. They also look very good.

Fussy and not worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to get these, but as soon as I put them on I hated them. First, at the tightest setting, they were too loose on my head (I'm 5 feet tall, so I'm small, but not THAT small). Second, the touch controls are awful. You have to swipe repeatedly to move the volume even a little bit, and every time you do, it beeps. Every time you touch the right side, even incidentally, it beeps. Sony's online forum says there is a way to turn the beeping off, but it was not there in the app when I opened it. Third: I have to install an app that tracks my every move in order to use my $400 headphones? No. The sound is great, but didn't blow me away .... certainly not for this price. I'm returning these, very disappointed in the user experience.

Sony Does it again
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is absolutely incredible and the best part is that people can hear me extremely clearly during calls, even with significant background noise. Battery gets zapped pretty good in a noisy environment and ANC turned on.

Sound great, but expensive and not comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great and it's great for discord, but it gets uncomfortable quick and the ear muff is a little small for one of my ears. Overall I think my AirPod Pro Max's are better because they are cheaper, sound just as good, and are more comfortable.

Battery length
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are excellent headphones. I have only one problem, the battery is crap compared to the 1000XMS. They do last all day but the older model lasted for 2-3 days. I know more electronics but that's a pretty steep drop-off.
