The effect of sony headphones is really powerful
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My head is a little big, so it would be better if it could be stretched a little more, but it is very comfortable to wear, and the sound noise reduction function is really perfect. I have been watching this headset for a long time, and the discount on best buy made me get it. Thanks to this store

I literally spent part of my flight sleeping comfortably without music playing because of how good the noise cancelling is. Can wear for hours with glasses and battery life is great.

A little too expensive, but pretty good quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’d probably give these headphones 5 stars if their programming could reduce the wind noise, headache-inducing bass response when using them in a high wind environment. Also, the connecting bar between the two ear cups can feel pretty hard and heavy if you don’t adjust them right. But hey, literally everything else is fantastic. The sound quality, outside of the wind noise thing, whether for music or podcasts is above reproach. If these were $250 they’d be a no-brainer.
