    I wear these things 8-12 hours a day between work and gym and they are phenomenal being able to drown out noise or let it in whenever i want is perfect for my job in machining and perfect for backround noise at the gym. The sound quality is also great.

    These headphones are exactly what I was looking for! I love the ability to turn the noise cancelling feature on and off, so I feel comfortable wearing them while walking outside and will still hear when someone is behind me. The app is easy to use, and the sound quality is amazing!

    I have had the headphones for a year now and still love them. I listen to audio books, music, and make calls when I go for walks outside. The sound is fantastic the call quality is insane. The connectivity is crisp and I can set my phone in the middle of the house and listen and talk anywhere I go while doing house chores. The head pinch was a bit of a problem at first. Found that wearing a hat helped early on to add some padding. As the headphones wore in, the band has lost the pinch.

    Loved the color and this is one version higher than my previous headset however, this version has such a large footprint. It doesn’t fold so the carrying case is large. I didn’t set it up, went back and upgraded to the 6.

      Hi 3angels,

      We appreciate your honest feedback on the design of this particular headset. While we're glad you loved the color and the quality, we understand your point about the larger footprint and the non-folding design impacting portability, especially when compared to your previous model. We continuously strive to balance sound quality, features, and design, and user feedback like yours is incredibly valuable as we refine our products.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a good day!
