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.

Love them, no complaints!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After almost 2 months of daily use, I would say these headphones are worth it! The noise cancelling feature is fantastic, i ise it at work daily. It is convenient to have a button that turns off the noise cancelling for when coworkers come up to ask a quick question. I only need to charge them once every week and a half.

Good sound, ANC, poor head band.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio is great. Noise canceling is better than my 4 year old Bose QC2s. Ear cups fit me perfectly, but a bit toasty. The biggest downside is the head band. It's incredibly narrow so the weight is all focused on that narrow bit and after about an hour wearing them your head starts hurting. Otherwise great.

Spectacular headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these as a Christmas gift for my wife and she has absolutely loved them. She is a musician and records from our home studio quite a bit and these have fantastic headphones for recording or just sure listening casually. Normally she does not care about this kind of thing but she has absolutely been in love with these headphones and will not go back to any others.

||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If been through a number of Bose and Beats headsets and can't find a single thing negative to say about this headset aside from minor os quirks. Speak to chat should default to your latest selection. I get tired of turning that off. OTHERWISE? Stellar headset with amazing options, sound, and nc.
