Poor made comfortable and good sounding headphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros Great sound quality Very comfortable and lightweight Good looking Cons Poorly made Too many accidental touches on the touch mechanism of ear head Speak to Hear is one of the worst feature which is auto on when. Need to install the app to turn it off for every device you connect Poorly made hinge. Sony has some problem with all their previous headphones where the hinges brake. And they dont want to do anything about it. $400 heaphone poor made hinges not covered in warranty. Not worthy to buy. Luckily I bought it from bestbuy with GeekSquad warranty. So happy that I bought it from bestbuy

Fantastic headphones, but pricey.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfy, especially for long trips on an airplane. Fold flat for easy storage (as opposed to folding inward to create a more compact but blocky shape). Superb noise cancelling.

The Best for Noise Cancellation and Call Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The main reason to buy these is noise cancelling and call quality. They considerably outperformed my Air Pod Max's, especially the microphone. I was surprised, that the microphone quality is also considerably better than my Air Pod Pro 2's. It is very nice to be able to adjust the level of transparency. Their sound quality for music is good, but not really better than the Air Pod Pro 2's (if you fully configure them). Without question, Air Pod Max's sound better if music is your main focus.
