Don't do it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They only lasted 6 months before the band broke. These were expensive for the band to just break when I was adjusting the headset.

Sound cuts out, would not recommend
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought these for use with a Sony Bravia TV, figuring that they should work well together. Unfortunately after less than a year the headphones developed a problem where the sound would cut out intermittently. We threw the Sony headphones away and bought a pair of Apple Air Pods Pro, which are working fine.

Dissapointing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2 stars for comfort and the cool case. Sadly the touch panel did not work....TWICE. These just released today and not 1 but 2 headphones did not work on my iphone. Spent a ton of time with Sony support to find no fix. I got these to upgrade from my WH-XB900N and the sound on these new headphones were quiet with little to no BASS. Save your money and get XM4 or something else.
