Nice upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good improvement in terms of the quality of music it delivers, what I will say that most people will see as a negative is the fact the holding case is bigger due to the headphones not being able to fold closed. At times it did bother me but as I normally have them out due to how much I use them it doesn’t cause much of an issue for me.

Great noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife wanted some noise cancelling headphones so when we took a trip she could read her books without listening to my music loud. I got her these and she plays classical music and reads in peace. She said these headphones are the best. Blocks out my music, and the music she plays sounds so good.

Held up for over a year, good for everyday use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for my spouse as a gift and he really likes them. They seem a little delicate around the part where the headband attaches to the ear pieces, but he's used them daily for about a year now and they seem to have held up. He uses them for music, his phone, and work calls.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are very very good. I had the M4 for a while and got water into them so they stopped working. Then I got the Beats Studio 3 I must tell you, those are nothing compared to the Sonys. The noise cancellation feature should be the best in the market in my opinion.
