    Sony will always do well by me with sound quality, but I loved the previous gen's build quality and foldability. Hopefully the next headphone is much better.

Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature.

    Awesome, however I believe the price is a little high for what you get. I would recommend getting the m4 rather than these. All in all, if budget isn’t an issue, then these are perfect.

    The sound quality and noise cancelling are both great. Very clear and crisp, I do wish they were collapsing like the previous generations but not a huge issue. The only con are the "touch" controls as they can be a struggle
