Sony headphones amazing!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this headphones have been amazing... My son enjoys useing them everyday when he works out and also the hand gestures that you can wave your hand over the right side of the headphone makes it lot real easy instead of clicking on your phone or pushing the button... I would definitely recommend to anybody that works out and wants noise cancellation to stay focused...
