Best noise cancellation headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a great upgrade from the XM4. Sony finally toned down the muddy bass and allowed a good sound signature to come out. Still needed to EQ to make them a bit brighter but fantastic headphones. I use them for 6+ hours at a time with no discomfort. Battery life is crazy good and they charge VERY fast. Connection to two devices works great (iPad and iPhone here). The noise cancellation is the strongest I’ve used on any headphones and it doesn’t create any pressure on my head. Very happy with my purchase.

Great Headphones that Last Forever
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been great for my travels. Essentially takes away the sound of the plane engine when I have been flying. Voices will sometimes still leak through, but ultimately these do a great job of blocking out sounds while still performing great. The battery is what may be most impressive. Have used on flight beginning of week, throw into bag and use again on flight home, no issues.

Great NC Heaphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared to previous generations, these are a definite upgrade if you can get passed the non folding design. They’re very light and comfortable with great sound quality. Multi device connection is a welcome addition as well. The non folding design does mean a larger case footprint but the weight and comfort are a good tradeoff.

Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these headphones are amazing quality especially for the price, comfort is amazing and the features were great, although the hand to side to quiet the music was annoying at the gym. If you’re someone who likes loud base, i would recommend going Bose . But if you’re looking for everyday/ office use these are perfect. Also, people complain about the size of the case i think it’s perfect

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones with very good sound quality. I have AirPods Pro and wanted to switch to headphones. The Sony Headphones give a lot of control over the headphones and the ability to switch between devices. Sometimes, I have experienced a tiny bit issue when switching as I have paired multiple devices. Battery life is good. One thing I am unhappy about is these are not water-resistant and can't use during gym/workouts. That is one drawback that stops me from giving it 5 stars. Apart from that, these are excellent.
