Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally i was going to get the XM4s then i was like lets go up-to-date. I do not regret my decision at all. These are hands down best headsets i ever owned. The noise canceling down to the sleek design is superior.

Worth the price tag!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these every day! The noise cancelling is great, and I love that I’m able to connect to 2 devices via Bluetooth simultaneously. Not the best for workouts, they tend to slide off my head but it’s manageable.

Light soft and good fit.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter loves it. She even uses them at the gym. I tried them on and fit well, were soft, and didn't heat up compared to some other ones, we have tried them in the past. They are worth the expense in the long run.

Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good sounding headphones but compared to my air pods pro 2 that I’m so use too the Sonys lack a lot in bass and a little in noise cancellation. Overall very comfortable and well built but lack in sound quality on iPhone.

Posted .Hi ArmondP, We're glad that you like that these are comfortable. We're sorry if the sound quality did not meet your expectations. Please ensure to download the Headphones Connect app, it has an equalizer which can be customized to fine-tune your music.

- Pros mentioned:Battery life
best so far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second gen (I skipped XM4) and my favorite so far. It's great that you can connect with two devices at once via bluetooth, though this operation feels less than polished at least when moving between MS teams on a laptop, and your phone. I like that you dont need a separate mike b/c the sensitivity on this mike is superb and people can hear you even with an A/C activated in the same room. The 30 hour battery life and fast charging means it will outlast you on an given day. I would recommend.
