    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.

    Love this headphones. Has a lot of features. Has decent range. You can put your hand on the right side of the headphone for temporary talk to someone without having to remove your headphone from your head. And many other features. Very light. The only negative thing is the carrying case which is bulky and won't fit easy in a carry on luggage.

    I love these headphones. I bought them for my fiance as a birthday gift and now wish I’d bought them tor myself! Excellent sound and noise cancellation! They also feel really good and are really stylish; even the carrying case is cool. These are our 1st pair of Sony headphones and so far so great! I hope they stand the test of time. As of now, I’d definitely recommend.

    These headphones have the best nose cancellation and sound quality ever!! but it does need to lose 2 stars just for how inconvenient they are to travel with because they don’t fold up, and they fit pretty lose, they slip whenever I’m exercising which is what I mainly got them for. One time my friend tried them on and starting nodding her head to the music, and they flew off and chipped

    [Employee of bestbuy] 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.

    These are literally the best Bluetooth headphones available, but they will break if pushed beyond their meager physical limits. Do not sleep with these headphones on, or you're asking for trouble. Otherwise, they are absolutely amazing. They're a huge upgrade from the XM3 and even XM4.
