Totally Worth It!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, as a busy mom of 3 who just started an online graduate program I love that I can use these headphones for class/group meetings & have the option to control the noise cancellation at my desire & not worry about sacrificing call quality. I also love the added silence I get at the end of my day when I have my much needed me time.

Best headphones yet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well I'll tell you very simply that Bose better watch out because these are really good headphones and I've tried just about everything. The sound is incredible overall and it blocks out the sound and annoys the area making it a very peaceful and calm environment.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones i have ever had. sound is amazing, noise canceling is great. the sony app os intuitive, easy to use, and great for cutomizing the headphone opperation. i will say, hand oils and hair oils show up pretty obviously on the darker colors. so maybe go with the lighter one if that matters to you. I still prefer the look of the blue though.

Great experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall experience was great and a huge upgrade from the xm4s, better noise cancellation and touch controls however if your not looking to spend the price the xm4s have a greater value for the price. Worth it, but not to the point where its the only option !

Love these!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these especially compared to the Bose ultra. The only thing I wish could be done is connecting more than two devices at the same time, as you need to disconnect one to be able to auto switch between more devices.

Great build quality and sound, not a bad first buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my first major purchase of a high end headphones this should be a 4 1/2 starts, the build quality is amazing I do not regret my purchase. The only thing i have to say is that the noise cancelling is very noticeable when entering in to different environments with different active noises; where you will suddenly hear the back ground noise at a higher volume than expected. Also make sure you try on the headset before you buy if you have large or protruding ears to make sure its conformable for you, I am noticing that this may have been an issue for me after a hour or two of wear.
