Doesn’t fold for storage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I prefer the previous generation. This generation does not fold away for storage. Sound quality is very good. Just not the level of upgrade I expected over the previous generation given the price.

Superb noise cancelation
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones basically make a noisy room silent. The speaker wuality is good too. I would say when i turn the bass up very loud at all it makes a funny pop sound. I listen to a lot of metal so the kickdrum sounds funny. Other than that great headphones

Great buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Almost everything I was looking for, excellent noise canceling and volume 10 out of 10. Only thing I would like is more bass but that doesn't mean these are bad. I really like the feel of quality and hard shell case definitely a good product.

Love them and even use them for the gym. They are not sweat resistant, but as long as you wipe them down and not do a crazy sweating workout you’ll be fine. Sound quality is amazing, even grabbed a pair for my wife

Sensational

The headphones sound quality without any input from the app sound great and with they Sony headphones app they are beyond my expectations. The equalizer makes fine tuning your preference in sound is amazing. One tap connecting works perfectly, and you can connect with 2 devices at once.

Sony review
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The head phones were terrific at first until it started to give me headaches and ear pain when I use it for 2-5 hours. Over all, the sound quality and connectivity was amazing. I would recommend if using to the gym, having a walk, etc. Don’t have the volume to high people could hear what you're listening too.

Posted .Hi SarahM, We appreciate your feedback and we're glad that you like the sound and connectivity. There are several reasons why your ears may hurt when putting on or wearing headphones:
You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue.
Note: Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while.
How long have you been wearing the headphones? The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt.
Note: You may need to limit your headphone usage.
