||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love them! Great sound blocking headphones. Got the grey ones, they did not get dirty. The case is made of recycled materials that can easily get dirty but it is easy to clean. Overall great product. Use them everyday at work and on the train on the way to uni.

Not So Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as good as the previous gen or even the ones before that which I have used before. I purchased these I immediately regretted it. Made me miss the wh-1000xm3. For me the only good I can say is how light they feel. The worst part of my experience with these was listening gets paused so frequently.

Great Cans, Minor Inconveniences
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a Christmas present for me, so I’ve been using it for about a week now. This is an overall great headset with only two minor problems. One, if you wear glasses with these you will experience sound leakage, and two, after wearing these for three hours or more with glasses, your ears may start to hurt. At least, mine did. If it weren’t for those two issues, I would have rated it five stars.

A little disappointed….
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So i took these on a trip with a group of people to test the noise cancellation and was kinda disappointed that i could still hear my friends in the background while in the car driving to our destination. I had previous pairs and never complained but maybe these were defective but the music coming out was A1 but the noise cancellation was a big NO.

Posted .Hi Markus we're sorry to hear that the noise canceling function did not meet your expectations. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have with our premium products. Allow us to help and turn this into a better experience.
You can toggle between noise canceling and letting the ambient noises, simply use the button on the side of the headphones. You also have the ability to fully control the noise canceling and ambient noise feature within the Sony Headphones Connect App. Please ensure you have downloaded from the app store.
