Great headphones for travel + home use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, great sound quality, and the noise canceling is almost too good. My only complaint is that you can only connect to 2 devices at a time and there is a noticable delay in audio for competitive games since it uses bluetooth. If you want to play anything competitive just use the included audio jack cable.

Great Noise Canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Noise Canceling. Was on an airplane and it removed almost all noises. Volume isn't great as they don't get as loud as I'd like.

Regarding the volume, we recommend checking the Sony | Sound Connect app to ensure the "Volume Lightning" or "Equalizer" settings are not limiting your output. Additionally, please ensure your source device's volume limit settings are adjusted to your preference.

Best Headphones I've Ever Had!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I've ever had and in my opinion worth the money. Comfortable for an entire 9 hour flight to Europe and silenced the crying baby onboard. Made my music and games better with a more robust and complete sound. The touch features are an added bonus. If I had one negative it would be that folding them back up into the carrying case can sometimes be a bit challenging if you're in a hurry.

What an improvement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a great upgrade from the XM4, which were already amazing. The noise cancelling is noticeably better, and the sound stage is also noticeably improved. I love bass and these headphones deliver. I skipped the XM5 because they didn't fold, and I'm glad these ones fold. The new carrying case is great too. Why didn't they do that sooner? Yes they're pricey, but if you like nice things and can afford to buy them, these are a great purchase.

I alway liked sony products and these don't disappoint. The materials are thin leather and plastic. So i will have to be delicate. Battery life is over three days.

Excellent capability > questionable hardware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are definitively excellent, with compromise. The ANC is class leading (as good as the professionalized Bose A30s I fly airplanes with), the design is simple and unobtrusive, and the sound quality is acceptable for this category. However, they fall under the Bose QC Ultra in overall comfort and build, and the touch controls are finicky. Comfort was a huge disappointment here. I disliked the hard headband which made sleeping in long commercial flights bothersome, and the warm, rubbery ear-cups which centralize heat and sweat. If you value a great case, the best ANC, and superior sound - get these. If you value build quality and superior comfort, the Bose are your choice.

Great Earphones. Earphones blew away.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. Cancels most sounds if you chose. Very comfortable. I used when riding my CanAm Spyder motorcycle with other bikers with loud pipes. Options are to use bluetooth or plug in earphones. Expensive but worth it - $499.00. I lost mine when a big gust of wind hit me. The earphones blew away and I could not find it anywhere. So I can not provide a picture. Maybe someone will find it in a hundred years.

Even better than XM5's
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.XM6's build upon all of the greatness of the XM5 but does it better. Noise cancelling seems better, the new cafe feature is great and they feel like an overall firmer clamping pressure for better seal. Best feature is the ability to now fold them for better storage and transportation, though, they can be a bit difficult to make them fit in their case, a little extra room may have been nice.

The best noise canceling
|Posted .

The sound quality is incredible clear, balanced, and immersive, whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls.
