    Wanted to upgrade from my third gen headphones but the noise canceling was worse on these pair. The earcups were a bit smaller as well which made it less comfortable. The audio was about the same though which is still excellent for listening to music.

    The headphones themselves are wonderful! However, the zipper on the case broke within the first few hours of use. The case is now unusable which is a shame because it is a nice looking case. I contacted Sony for a replacement and they said it was a known issue but still could not send a replacement. Great headphones, know you will most likely need to get a third party case.
