||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this as a holiday splurge gift for my best friend and I cannot stress how much she truly loves them. The compatibility features worked well on both my iPhone and her Android without any issues and the noise cancellation on these is incredible!!! Definitely see what the hype is all about and after trying them out a few times, I would definitely buy these again for myself.

Great looking headphones.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Similar to the other reviews. I used to own the sony WH 4s but overtime they fallen apart. I purchased the WH 5s for an "upgrade". The bass seems to struggle at high volume. When taking off the headphone to rest around your neck, they flip up intead of down towards your chest. They look great. Sound quality 4 out of 5. They may be on price drop soon.

Best over ear headphones for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned these for almost 2 years and believe they are the best headphones on the market. The fact that even on sale they haven't dropped in price since I bought them is proof enough, but I have used these daily since I bought them without any issues. The firmness of the pads has gone down, but not enough yet to justify a replacement. I use these for work, and they have lasted thousands of hours of constant and hard use, along with airplane rides and more. The sound suppression is comparable to none, and I have since purchased a second pair for my gf. I am literally wearing them right now.

Love these!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for a flight so I could watch movies on my Fire tablet. They worked great! I was able to listen to my movie without having to crank up the volume. The noise cancelling was amazing. I also liked the ability to pause the movie with a tap on the headphone and turn off the noise cancelling by covering it with my hand to hear the announcements. I definitively recommend these.

Actually Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Omg. I've never purchased such expensive headphones...these were WORTH it. They completely block out sound. I went to a car wash, sat close to the machine tunnel, played music and could not hear the car wash AT ALL. The smart features are super convenient. If they were waterporoof I would never removw them. Super amazing.

Sony Noise canceling phones - best out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these phones recently to deal with prolonged medical visits due to cancer. The hospital is busy and noisy - these phones are amazing. They give me the peace and quiet I need to get through my long days. Great value, and amazing sound quality. Highly recommend these if you travel, or just want some IAT (Independent Alone Time) with yourself! Rock on Sony.
