    Do not purchase. These are not built to last

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These broke while on my head. The part that connects the band to the earpiece is so flimsy it just snapped while I was taking it off. Sony has a one year warranty but was unwilling to help and bestbuy didn't want to help either. Huge waste of money these are not built to last I haven't even had them for a year. I still have the box to prove it(see photos) awful product

    The noise cancellation is the best I’ve ever experienced, but doesn’t sound nearly as good as I would’ve hoped for $329 headphones. I ended up returning them within a week. My Apple AirPods Pro sound better, in my opinion.
