    I was contemplating between these and the apple ones. I'm very glad I got these because they're cool, functional, and the noise cancelling is great.

      Hi Matt,

      Thank you for the review and we're glad to hear that you like the headphones. We highly recommend uisng the Sony Headphones Connect app so you can adjust the noise canceling and customize the surround effect and equalizer function. Depending on the computer you are using, the built-in Bluetooth adaptor may need to be turned on. If you do not know how to turn on the Bluetooth adaptor or are unsure if your computer has a built-in Bluetooth adaptor, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the computer. For us to better assist you, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

    One of the best purchases I've ever made. Sound is excellent. Noise cancelling works great. I work from home and use them for meetings... I wear glasses, so being comfortable without digging my glasses into my head was a big deal. I've worn them for hours at a time and they stay comfy.

    I bought the first 2 previous models before these and thought I should sit this set out and safe some money but I did not but just like the others are great but I must say these are even better as far as sound and comfort. The noise cancellation is great. While on a plane sitting on the in the emergency row the noise cancellation was impeccable.
