    These headphones are amazing. And I bought them from Best Buy and not Amazon because Best Buy had this Sony headphone, the previous Sony model, and the several other makes all connected to their headphone station which allowed me to try every model on that I was interested in.

    They have a great sound quality, theyre definitely the best over the hear headphone. When i was considering purchasing over the ear headphones i was considering both these and the airpod max, and for the sound quality & price point this was a much better purchase. The apps and adaptability features pushed me to purchase this over the airpod max.

    Very nice headphones. They go hurt ur ears after a while, if you wear them covering only one ear… but when covering both, they are very comfortable. Also, ur ears get hot after like 40 minutes. Biggest pro is the battery life, iv used them like 10 times now and still haven’t charged them ever since I got them… and it’s still have like 40% charge.

    They’re pretty good as far as noise canceling. But they have to be pretty loud to drown out other things.

    These headphones work great! I especially love using them in the gym. They really block out all surrounding noise. I use them while moving around a lot and they rarely slip off my head. The only time they slip a bit is when they are over my long hair. It is better if you move your hair out of the way so the pads make contact with your skin, keeping them in place and barely moving.
