    Had these Sony for no more than 7 months and it went out with the wires first coming out where you adjust the length. Then it stopped working. I didn't have protection . It was good while it last.

    I’ve compared this product to Bose and Apple (QC 35, and pro max). These headphones come out on top, although by a surprisingly small margin. Unsurprisingly, Sony wins out on noise cancelling. A noisy plane, with a little bit of music, is completely drowned out. Fantastic for sleeping! Soundscape, this is largely subjective, but the area feels small.
