    I bought these Sony headphones for myself for a long trip and then a 2nd pair for my wife and we both enjoyed the a little more quiet during our flights over seas and back. I like that we can update the headphones and control them with the app on our phone. Easy peazy purchase at Best Buy

    Great headphones! The only thing is that the headband part broke just over a year of use. I don't think I was harsh or anything. Very unfortunate for such expensive headphones. But overall would recommend.

    The audio is great. Noise canceling is better than my 4 year old Bose QC2s. Ear cups fit me perfectly, but a bit toasty. The biggest downside is the head band. It's incredibly narrow so the weight is all focused on that narrow bit and after about an hour wearing them your head starts hurting. Otherwise great.

    Awesome features, I got it as a gift and they use them daily. It’s amazing when I FaceTime them, I don’t hear the noisy background, I even borrowed them for a trip and they were life savers during the flight, I’m thinking of repurchasing for myself. Definitely worth it.
