Great Headphones Minor Annoyances
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the headphones. The sound quality and customizability with the EQ is good. ANC is also amazing. The only complaints that I have are that the ear cups make my ears sweat and it’s not really comfortable for extended use. The touch controls are also not my favorite because if I accidentally touch the side then the whole song is interrupted. Overall tho the headphones are great.

Best headphones
|Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best sound quality and noise cancellation headphones on the market. Far better than Bose and apple. On top of that, these headphones have the most comfort out of the three. Wore these for school for studying and never had head fatigue

A Sony Headphone Must Have
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went in to purchase a Bose headset but the attendant who assisted me gave me a demo of both the Bose and the Sony headsets. He was knowledgeable about both products and, in the end, I was sold on the Sony. I think I got the best deal. The sound is awesome and just what I wanted.

Love them! Wish they had other colors
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound as you would expect from Sony! Noise cancelling is not full proof but it works. Battery stays charged a good amount of time. Best of all, if you get the protection from Best Buy, they will deal with it directly unlike beats where you have to go to the dreaded apple store. I personally think it has better sound quality than beats.

My new headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best feature on these headphones is the noise cancellation. I took a flight to Paris 13 hours plus filled with children, i head nothing but my great music, I didn’t even hear the noise from the plane. Love that I hear more than just the base.

Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable. I upgraded from Beats Solo Pro and these are far more comfortable. I am not the neatest or cleanest person and the light grey color has been super durable and not hard to take care of. Battery life makes it worth it. A bit pricey though.

Perfect sound quality and battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is perfect and the EQ is amazing. The sound is better than the Airpods Max for sure. The battery life is amazing as well. Standby battery use is also good, so I don't have to turn the headphones off every single time I take them off my head as they don't burn any battery. I would recommend these 100%.
