    I had the Bose quiet comfort before. They are really good headphones but these new Sony headphones have much better features and better noise canceling. Im very happy with these and rock them on a daily basis!

    SO I've never really owned an ANC headphones (I've tried them). These headphones are great. My head gets a little hot sometimes but it isn't to the point where I want to take my headphones off. It does suck that it isn't as integrated as APMs, APPs, and APs but the ability to tweak the EQ is what convinced me to purchase. Also mic quality is quite nice.

    My worksite is really noisy and I was looking for some good noise canceling. So far this has been a game changer. Slightly skinnier and fancier than the xm4 which I’m unsure if I prefer. But so far loving the sound.

    Overall the headphone is very good. First is its weight is very light. You will not feel you are wearing it. The bad things are its technology feature. It says it will detect when you take them off and auto stop music. This is a hit or miss. When it does not work, it is very frustrating. I believe Sony is getting that perfect headphone. However, this is not it.
