Customers are saying

Customers regard the product's sound quality as impeccable, frequently praising its comfort, impressive battery life, and lightweight design. While many also appreciate its good bass, snug fit, and decent active noise cancellation, some concerns have been raised. These concerns primarily revolve around its portability, price, occasional connectivity issues, and a desire for louder volume and water resistance.

      It's truly wonderful to hear that you consider your Sony headphones the best on the market before the new generation. Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review and for highlighting their very good noise cancelling and ambient sound features. Performance like that is what sets your Sony headphones apart and helps create an immersive listening experience.

      Thank you for choosing Sony—wishing you an amazing day!

    DO NOT BUY SONY HEADPHONES!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    They sound fine, but there is a known flaw in the engineering of the headphones. After 10 months of use, the hinge randomly cracked, and now the headphones are unusable. This is such a known issue that they have collaborated with another company to repair the headphones at the customer's expense. While online it is allegedly listed for those whose break happens "out of warranty," when you actually seek a warranty repair, they say it constitutes physical damage and is not covered. THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT OR HONOR THE WARRANTY. Buy literally any other brand- these are not worth it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi MaPo, We're sorry to hear about your situation. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have. Unfortunately, the limited warranty of your headphones does not cover any kind of accidental or physical damage.
