5 star hardware. Mediocre sony app.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hardware is 5 stars!!!!. The only thing that i dont like is the app which only allows you to either have 2 devices connected at the same time like phone and work computer but if u are to go to the gaming pc or some other device you need to remove one and add the other. Intead of just marking what device should be active. Also sometimes you just want one device active. To do that you have to disable the 2 device functionality. Also the buttons are a bit sensitive. Everytime i stretch after training and my arm brushes the headphones something happens.

Posted .Hi TinaB, We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of your new headphones. We're also sorry to hear that you're having issues when using the headphones with Microsoft teams. To use your headphones for video calls on your computer, you need to make sure that the Speaker and Microphone settings are set correctly. Otherwise, the voice of the other party may not be heard or the other party may not hear you.
Before we walk you through the settings, it's important that you know the different types of Bluetooth® profiles and what they are used for. Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) is intended to playback music. The Hands-free Profile (HFP) and Headset Profile (HSP) are intended for voice calls.
Depending on the video calling app, the voice call may not be available when connected using the A2DP profile, so make sure to select the HFP/HSP profile when you want to use the headphones for video calls.
For more details, please check our support website and look for "How to use Bluetooth headphones for video calls on a computer" article.
I hope this helps but if you still need assistance, do not hesitate to drop us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Cant go wrong with this line ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great upgrade from my xm3. I love the new design. If I had one gripe, it’d be that you cant fold them over anymore for minimal storage. But that’s not a deal breaker for me.

Sony Headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought with the intent to use with my TV. However, I also use them for work use with Microsoft Teams and it pairs with my iPhone too, as it has a built in microphone. It doesn’t completely block all of the surrounding sound, so if anyone buys it with that expectation, it was not intended to do that. However, it blocks out the majority and makes listening to your favorite show or movie even better!
