Great headset but…
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio on this headphone is very impressive. My only issue is the build quality, specifically the ear cushions. They feel very cheap and I can already tell by just few uses that they’ll deteriorate really fast. If you’re an avid headphone user I wouldn’t recommend this because of the cushions. You’ll think that for something this expensive Sony will take their time to ensure that the build quality is fantastic .

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was deciding between these and AirPodMaxs, and I’m so happy I went with this much more affordable option. The sound quality is so crisp, and bass is deep and rich. I bought them for the gym and tested them out on a flight, and was shocked when I took them off at how loud the plane was! The noise cancellation worked so well, and they are so much more comfortable than AirPods. It’s like two little warm pillows on your head ◡̈
