Great Sound and connectivity
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is amazing, whether it be TV, cellphone or laptop, music, movies and games sound great. Can connect to multiple devices at a time and switch between, although sometimes switching between 2 devices gets a bit confusing for the headphones. The make is very premium and easy on the ears.

Noise-Cancelling on another level
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these headphone for my commute into the city, riding the commuter rail and I don’t hear anything but my music. No train bells, no train engine, no conversations happening around me, nothing. My only suggestion using these headphone is that you pay attention to your surroundings because you won’t hear a car beep at you, trust me on that lol

Great Overall but alright for Gym
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great over the ear headphones. If you cover the right ear with your hand then it’ll automatically go into transparency mode which is really cool. They aren’t that great for the gym though. Sweat easily builds up in the ears and they are not water or sweat proof. Really wish they made it water proof for the price it’s going for.

Good sound, ANC, poor head band.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio is great. Noise canceling is better than my 4 year old Bose QC2s. Ear cups fit me perfectly, but a bit toasty. The biggest downside is the head band. It's incredibly narrow so the weight is all focused on that narrow bit and after about an hour wearing them your head starts hurting. Otherwise great.

Wonderful and fast noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I traded in my Bose QC xx noise cancelling headphones at Best Buy for these new Sony headphones. I had a trip upcoming and I was hoping for new and faster microprocessor technology. My Bose never disappointed, but these Sony headphones are magical. So very quiet I'm N/C mode. Almost made my air travel bearable.
