    Excellent quality, but it hurts my ears when the noise canceling is on, also it doesn't compact itself with bending, and noise-canceling feel subpar compared to earlier Sony Headphones.

      Hi RedS, Amazing! We're glad that you are enjoying your new headphones. We're sorry if they hurt your ears when noise canceling is on. You have the ability to fully control the noise canceling and ambient noise feature within the Sony Headphones Connect App. If you want to toggle between noise canceling and letting the ambient noises, simply use the button on the side of the headphones.
