LIFE SAVING for my noisy neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have suffered for years from the extremely loud bass music from my neighbors. These are the ONLY headphones that take away the noise. Literally life changing and worth every single penny I spent on them. My husband has the earbud version and has had the same experience. WORTH IT.

Upgrade from the Beats Studio 3
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as an upgrade to my Beats Studio 3. Upon listening to these for the first time, I was impressed with the ANC performance, sound, and build quality which is all a step above the Beats. The only negative I can think of is how the case is larger than the Beats' case but other than that it is perfect. I also enjoyed the Sony app and all the features it offered.

Love them but....
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Bought them because our fire alarm kept going off at work due to a malfunction. We had to keep working while it was going off. These helped soooooo much with drowning out the sound. Only downside is it would randomly disconnect while using them from my phone.
