    I am coming from the Bose 700. I have had other wireless Bose models and I like these Sony's better. Its not tight out of the box (Bose 700) and squeezing my head. The headphones sound great and filled with a ton of features.

    Upgraded from XM3 which had poor or malfunctioning mics. Sound quality is great as ever, mic quality seems good according to co workers. I miss the folding aspect of the old style but don't have much of a commute so it's not a deal breaker. Wish there was some voice signal for switching between paired devices like my Bose earbuds, but it's not a huge deal.

    I previously used Bose QC 35 II on my computer and QC 700s for my mobile and tablet. These absolutely crush both of those headsets. They arent as good as my Sennheiser 600S but these have the best noise cancellation of the three compared headsets.

    4/5 stars. good headphones for anc. 4 stars because of sound quality.. it sounds muffled or like ur under water.. u can tweak it with the eq and the app with eq actually makes the headphones better. for $400 tho, its beat in anc but sound quality is alright
