Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound phenomenal. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Only issue I’ve found is that if you’re warm, they can get a little uncomfortable and cause you to sweat some

Great but not greater
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality, noise canceling, and connectiveness. I was dissapointed that the 360 Spacial Sound is only available when using specific apps (read addional subscription fees). I don't know if they are worth the money over other Sony or Apple products

King of ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great and it's the King of Active Noise Cancelling. Sony also has one of the best apps for customizing the equalizer to get the sound how you want. Worth the upgrade in my opinion.
