Do not purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible just horrible. Sound quality is great yet, device has so many issues, constantly disconnects from Bluetooth, features you don’t want on turn on. Everything besides the sound quality is terrible. I will never buy a pair of Sony headphones ever again, I truly wasted my money, sound quality doesn’t cover the rest of the issues these headphones have.

Like it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is worth the investment if you can. Has different customizable audio profiles but they feel a bit delicate and like they might brake if not handled with a lot of care.
