Sony Headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought with the intent to use with my TV. However, I also use them for work use with Microsoft Teams and it pairs with my iPhone too, as it has a built in microphone. It doesn’t completely block all of the surrounding sound, so if anyone buys it with that expectation, it was not intended to do that. However, it blocks out the majority and makes listening to your favorite show or movie even better!
