Superbe Sound, Cheap Build
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony will always do well by me with sound quality, but I loved the previous gen's build quality and foldability. Hopefully the next headphone is much better.

Comfortable and stylish
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like how comfortable they are and how you can tap the side of them to control things like sound and you can skip or go back on songs. They also look very good.

Great, but not Excellent!
|Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphones. Mids were a highlight of the listen. Could use some more impact in the lower frequencies. Very clear low end, but not as impactful as I'd like.

Not budget friendly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome, however I believe the price is a little high for what you get. I would recommend getting the m4 rather than these. All in all, if budget isn’t an issue, then these are perfect.

Solid for office and travel
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise cancelling are both great. Very clear and crisp, I do wish they were collapsing like the previous generations but not a huge issue. The only con are the "touch" controls as they can be a struggle
