    These headphones have the best nose cancellation and sound quality ever!! but it does need to lose 2 stars just for how inconvenient they are to travel with because they don’t fold up, and they fit pretty lose, they slip whenever I’m exercising which is what I mainly got them for. One time my friend tried them on and starting nodding her head to the music, and they flew off and chipped

    I love these headphones. I bought them for my fiance as a birthday gift and now wish I’d bought them tor myself! Excellent sound and noise cancellation! They also feel really good and are really stylish; even the carrying case is cool. These are our 1st pair of Sony headphones and so far so great! I hope they stand the test of time. As of now, I’d definitely recommend.

    My head is a little big, so it would be better if it could be stretched a little more, but it is very comfortable to wear, and the sound noise reduction function is really perfect. I have been watching this headset for a long time, and the discount on best buy made me get it. Thanks to this store

    Just excellent! You will need to adjust the equalization to your taste - out of the box it is muddy. Noise cancellation is just right and it is a little sensitive to talking (shutting playback). Again, still just excellent!
