Great Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best over ear headphones for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned these for almost 2 years and believe they are the best headphones on the market. The fact that even on sale they haven't dropped in price since I bought them is proof enough, but I have used these daily since I bought them without any issues. The firmness of the pads has gone down, but not enough yet to justify a replacement. I use these for work, and they have lasted thousands of hours of constant and hard use, along with airplane rides and more. The sound suppression is comparable to none, and I have since purchased a second pair for my gf. I am literally wearing them right now.

Best ANC you can buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these headphones because I love music and I hate outside noise while listening to music so these are perfect. Paired with the Sony headphones app that allows you to build an EQ of your own you can’t go wrong. Top notch noise cancellation, a pretty good ambient mode, speak to chat, and few other bells and whistles make these worth every penny.
