    These headphones definitely have excellent sound quality. Initial use of The noise-canceling and ambient sound features are great also. One small minor critique I have with the headphones is that they're not sweatproof or water-resistant. You think for the price, they would have at least some type of water resistance. But the sound quality is impressive.

    Good headphones, the sound quality and noise cancelling are top notch. I am a medical student and using these to study were amazing. But the build quality isn’t the best. I ended up returning them and buying AirPod maxs instead.

    The overall sound quality and comfort while wearing the headphones is great, however in good faith I could never recommend anyone spending the premium price tag these headphones carry as the build quality is terrible (all the hinges are thin plastic). The build quality would not be as big of an issue if Sonys warranty covered this very common issue but they refuse and charge a premium to fix it.

    They're *just* great sounding headphones. I read reviews and got myself hyped and nothing too complain about, at all, but they're slightly over hyped. Not over rated though, just amazing sounding headphones.
