    I have owned these for almost 2 years and believe they are the best headphones on the market. The fact that even on sale they haven't dropped in price since I bought them is proof enough, but I have used these daily since I bought them without any issues. The firmness of the pads has gone down, but not enough yet to justify a replacement. I use these for work, and they have lasted thousands of hours of constant and hard use, along with airplane rides and more. The sound suppression is comparable to none, and I have since purchased a second pair for my gf. I am literally wearing them right now.

    I bought this as an upgrade to my Beats Studio 3. Upon listening to these for the first time, I was impressed with the ANC performance, sound, and build quality which is all a step above the Beats. The only negative I can think of is how the case is larger than the Beats' case but other than that it is perfect. I also enjoyed the Sony app and all the features it offered.
