Sony Does it again
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is absolutely incredible and the best part is that people can hear me extremely clearly during calls, even with significant background noise. Battery gets zapped pretty good in a noisy environment and ANC turned on.

Fussy and not worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to get these, but as soon as I put them on I hated them. First, at the tightest setting, they were too loose on my head (I'm 5 feet tall, so I'm small, but not THAT small). Second, the touch controls are awful. You have to swipe repeatedly to move the volume even a little bit, and every time you do, it beeps. Every time you touch the right side, even incidentally, it beeps. Sony's online forum says there is a way to turn the beeping off, but it was not there in the app when I opened it. Third: I have to install an app that tracks my every move in order to use my $400 headphones? No. The sound is great, but didn't blow me away .... certainly not for this price. I'm returning these, very disappointed in the user experience.
