Comfortable and great sound!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried on various sets in the store and found these to be as comfortable as the Bose comfort headphones which cost more. Bluetooth connected fast and the sound is wonderful
I would recommend this to a friend Nice set
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use and works well with computer and cell phone. However can only use with one at the time. Still trying to figure out how to remove noise canceling while in a TC because it sounds as if I were speaking in a box. I like the fact that I am no longer hooked up to my computer and can move around during calls.

Great, bassy and adjustable headphones!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bass with these headphones is unlike any I've heard in any other headphones I've ever had. With the accompanying mobile app you can turn it up or turn it down if it is too much. There are several presets and you can make your own with the equalizer and save them. The noise cancelling does an OK job. You can tell it dampens sounds when no audio is playing and I can't hear really anything else at work with that on and audio playing. I bought these for the bass, however, and they deliver in that category! Pairing with my iPhone X using the app was a breeze. Happy with my purchase!

Great Bass with Long battery life
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-X900N are great headphones. They offer Noise canceling, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC as well as regular bluetooth pairing. Charging is via USB C and a USB A to USB C cable is provided but you can use your phone charger cable if you have a newer device. The Sony Headphone Connect App will let you customize the Codec. Not only will you get Sony’s own high-quality LDAC codec, but you’ll also get aptX and aptX HD. These are an improvement from the standard SBC codec that all Bluetooth audio devices use. With the app you can control the noise canceling feature with twenty different levels you can block out almost everything to nothing at all. There is also an adaptive sound control that automatically adjusts the Noise canceling if you prefer. If you cover the right earcup with your hand the noise canceling shuts off, this allows you to hear someone talking to you. As for the Bass, if you love base these are the headphones for you! You get enough to rattle your brains with these cranked up. The sound response for highs and midrange are fantastic due to Sony's expertise in audio codecs. The fit of these headphones are very comfortable, they are very light due to the plastic construction. The plastic is texturized giving them a good feel and allow griping without any slippiness. The headphones come with a carrying bag and fold flat. The connection is Bluetooth 4.2 you can also use a regular mini jack headphone cord. Pairing is easy, you can use NFC to initiate it or the regular Bluetooth pairing of your device. The battery life is incredible, I had to delay my review to get these headphones to finally go dead which was about 37 hours of use. This is even longer than the Sony advertised 30 hours. The feature button of the left earcup can be customized for Alexa or google assistant with the App. This works great with both devices. Overall these are a great sounding Headphone with Slamming bass and an extra long battery life. Sony has done a great job again!

Could be a five star if.....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound on these is second to none. I bought this pair as a backup to an identical set. Two features would make this a five star rating 1) The charging cord needs to be much longer as the one included is way too short 2) The volume control would be better served by having a volume control knob as opposed to the current method of rubbing your finger up and down the ear piece to adjust volume. The older model headphones that rested in or on a cradle to charge is a much better method.

Great headset!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works good if you have good hearing. I bought it in hopes I could listen to my TV without wearing my hearing aids but they just arent loud enough because my hearing is really bad. But I still like wearing them and they sound great.
