    Omg. I've never purchased such expensive headphones...these were WORTH it. They completely block out sound. I went to a car wash, sat close to the machine tunnel, played music and could not hear the car wash AT ALL. The smart features are super convenient. If they were waterporoof I would never removw them. Super amazing.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
