Not worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought highly of Sony but with my recent purchase I wasn’t really pleased with the result, there was a lot of static and at first I thought it was just the songs but then I changed it to more modern songs but it still had the same noise, other than that they were alright but my wired apple headphones sounded the same, the noise canceling was very nice and probably the best feature.
