Customers are saying

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.

    I traded in my Bose QC xx noise cancelling headphones at Best Buy for these new Sony headphones. I had a trip upcoming and I was hoping for new and faster microprocessor technology. My Bose never disappointed, but these Sony headphones are magical. So very quiet I'm N/C mode. Almost made my air travel bearable.
