Amazing sound and noice cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.During my hunt for a set of headphones i was pointed in this direction. The headphones are great the noice cancelation and the audio quality are worth the price. If you've tried to use earbuds like i have in the past and couldn't due to sizing issues. These over the ear headphones should be an option.

great sound, decent build
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, awesome NC, and super lightweight. That said, the light construction is a byproduct of more plastic materials and the skimmer design has resulted in an inability to fold down the way it had. But the sound and the noise canceling continues to shine in this latest iteration of the WH series.

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.

top noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the noise cancelling is excellent and the weight is super light compare to the other product. However, the sound quality seems to be relatively poor compare to its same level product like the momentum 4 and B&W px7s2.
