Noise melts away, but no waterproofing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outside noise melts away, but I wish this was more waterproof. I'm afraid of even wearing this at the gym due to the fact that sweat can cause issues

Highly recommended!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a big jump from the x3’s but, it’s noticiable when talking. These are great for talking, watching movies, and of course listening to music. These and the x3’s do not a big difference.

5 star hardware. Mediocre sony app.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hardware is 5 stars!!!!. The only thing that i dont like is the app which only allows you to either have 2 devices connected at the same time like phone and work computer but if u are to go to the gaming pc or some other device you need to remove one and add the other. Intead of just marking what device should be active. Also sometimes you just want one device active. To do that you have to disable the 2 device functionality. Also the buttons are a bit sensitive. Everytime i stretch after training and my arm brushes the headphones something happens.
