    I used to go to the gym with very low quality headphones. Now that I was able to purchase this high quality Sony headphones I won’t go back. The people at the store were very helpful.

    Great headphones. - Noise cancelling is about the same as the MX3's - blueooth pairs and switching to devices is totally worth the buy. It connected to devices fast. - build quality and style is also much better than MX3's I recommend.

    Gray quality is amazing I use them to mow along, but I did have to buy some water-resistant covers on Amazon to add some extra protection.

    Really responsive. Amazing sound. Walked down a busy street during rush hour. All I heard was my music. I am worried about the material in regards to the cushion. Sweating while walking can damage them so try and keep them dry. Works great with my galaxy. Download the app to utilize the headphones full potential.

    Absolute bangers, dropped them like 500 times still sound great. Only problem is they produce a bit of static from time to time but what do you expect from the worlds biggest drop challenge. Would buy again
