Great pair of headsets.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Owned the headset for about 3 weeks and I love them! They pair up with pretty much anything Bluetooth around the house and the sound quality is amazing. I’ve owned Beats Studio and I would take these Sony headsets any day.
