Solid headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The mat black shows finger prints and smudges easily. Sound quality is solid, noise canceling seems average, overall they seem on par with $150 headphones. Bluetooth is okay. Recharge them once or twice a week.

5 star hardware. Mediocre sony app.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hardware is 5 stars!!!!. The only thing that i dont like is the app which only allows you to either have 2 devices connected at the same time like phone and work computer but if u are to go to the gaming pc or some other device you need to remove one and add the other. Intead of just marking what device should be active. Also sometimes you just want one device active. To do that you have to disable the 2 device functionality. Also the buttons are a bit sensitive. Everytime i stretch after training and my arm brushes the headphones something happens.
