Solid improvement but not a necessary upgrade

Perfect for students
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a college student and these work great to eliminate all excess noise. Now I can study in peace and not be interrupted by my roommates coming home late from the bars. They are comfortable enough to wear for hours, compared with AirPods that hurt after wearing for awhile.

Great Quality, Bad build
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great look, great QUALITY…. But terrible design. Not even 6 months into my purchase and the hinges on the headphones cracked, and Sony will NOT fix them, nor with Best Buy without Insurance. I would go for the XM4s which are better built to withstand wear and tear.

I bought 2 pairs!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this one for my wife since I bought a black one for my self. I made a review about this one earlier but I think this is the best bang for your buck if you’re a music type of person. The ambient mode is amazing as well and when you start talking it minimizes the music so you can hear what people are saying to you.
