    The noise canceling is awesome. The sound could be better but with the app, you can get it to where you want it. My one complaint is the sides of the headphones are very sensitive. While I'm working out its constantly pausing or skipping my music. One thing I love though is it cancels out all gym noise. So for me that makes it worth every penny.

    Charge them before using them sound was low at first then charged them and sounded way much better i recently had the Sony Wh-1000xm4 and wasn't planning on buying these but sadly i ran them over. And I can tell the sound is better and noise cancelation is better. The only thing i don't like is adjusting i liked the whxm4 clicking. Overall really good headphones

    Design Flaw

    with the time I had with these headphones I can say that they are a really good pair of headphones in terms of noise cancellation and amazing sound quality, however this product does have its fair share of drawbacks. The material that it is made out of makes it easy to break, although I have not broke my pair of headphones, there has been a design flaw that I have unfortunately come across. The design flaw are the hinges that connect the headband to the headphone cups and they tend to break easily without any external factors that caused it to break. I have researched about this problem on the internet, and this is a common issue that has not yet been resolved. There are numerous complaints about these headphones and their poor durability. I only had them for about 6 months, I put them on and then all of a sudden they are broken. I am actively trying to get them replaced, fixed, or refunded because this is not any of my fault rather Sony's fault and they are being difficult. If you are having the same issue file a complaint with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and explain the situation. If you took the time to read this, please reconsider buying this headphone there are plenty of other options available, thank you!
