Great pair of headphones for everyday listening!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading countless reviews for various headphone brands I determined that the Sonys were for me. The set up and charging was simple and I have no issues since purchasing them. The soundproofing is crazy good. For comparison, I use video editing headphones for work - so these Sony headphones absolutely work for daily casual music listening. I’ve recommended these to my friends and they have been thrilled with them as well. Only complaint was that it took a while to track down a pair of these headphones in this color.

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these for 5 months and by far have been the best headphones I’ve purchased considering the sound quality and comfort but the hinge on the right ear cuff snapped with little effort and cannot be repaired by Sony even though it’s still under warranty and a known issue. Buy at your own risk.
