Great audio quality and noise cancellation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio quality is great and the noise cancellation is very nice. I like how you can connect it to audio devices at one time. So now I have it connected to my TV and my phone and it's super convenient. There are a lot of Sony oriented features with the app, haven't got to use very much of them but they seem convenient.

The word for me is disappointed.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited when I saw that the M6 available. From reading and watching reviews everybody was saying oh yeah it's wonderful. 1. Well, the earcup did not fit my ears couldn't get it comfortable fit nor could I get the upper part quit to fit. Oh, it would go on my head and my ears, but I had to keep wiggling them, couldn't get comfortable. Oh and they also became warm/Hot. 2. The app was not intuitive. I never could get them adjusted for sound the way I like to hear it. Very disappointed. 3. I returned them!
