    it was a really good product. I really enjoy the music quality cause of the bass and tremble but the bad thing about this the padding on the headphones because it can be uncomfortable with big ears which I have. But overall I enjoyed them

    Horrible just horrible. Sound quality is great yet, device has so many issues, constantly disconnects from Bluetooth, features you don’t want on turn on. Everything besides the sound quality is terrible. I will never buy a pair of Sony headphones ever again, I truly wasted my money, sound quality doesn’t cover the rest of the issues these headphones have.
