Worth a little adjustment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Great but not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice set of headphone. Only 2 complaints are the materials it’s made of and they’re not loud enough for me
I would recommend this to a friend Great sound, cloud-like comfort
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve compared this product to Bose and Apple (QC 35, and pro max). These headphones come out on top, although by a surprisingly small margin. Unsurprisingly, Sony wins out on noise cancelling. A noisy plane, with a little bit of music, is completely drowned out. Fantastic for sleeping! Soundscape, this is largely subjective, but the area feels small.
