    Yes ! An obvious improvement in Noise Canceling especially in the treble and mids. I hear almost next to nothing except for a faint hint of voices in the higher frequencies, very faint though. These are better than the MX4's. Lighter, more pronounced sound quality, ... clarity. No more flippy flop folding cans. These are perfect... hope they last long. :)

    Product comes packaged in its own sleek carrying case, its not the most elegant but it will work incredibly well if you do not want to spend money on a different one, or as a place holder until a different one comes in. The sounds quality is amazing, absolutely top of the line comapred to any other retail marketed headphones out there, Bose, Apple, Beats, JBL, and other Sony products.

    Sound quality is amazing, whether it be TV, cellphone or laptop, music, movies and games sound great. Can connect to multiple devices at a time and switch between, although sometimes switching between 2 devices gets a bit confusing for the headphones. The make is very premium and easy on the ears.
