    If you’re looking for really good high quality head phones these are it! They have a cool feature hovering your right hand over the right ear cup and itll allow you to hear your surroundings which is a great feature in my book!

    These are the real deal. After trying a friends XM4, I had to grab them when they came out. Absolutely fantastic. I no longer have to suffer through the mindless conversation that goes on between my coworkers. Thank you Sony, you have saved my sanity and quite possibly my coworkers lives.

    I am coming from the Bose 700. I have had other wireless Bose models and I like these Sony's better. Its not tight out of the box (Bose 700) and squeezing my head. The headphones sound great and filled with a ton of features.
