bear purchase I’ve ever made
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve never owned noise cancelling headphones before and the moment I tried these I was amazed. It did take some time to get used to, but I highly recommend. They are extremely comfortable and the sound is impeccable. As a film editor these headphones will become extremely in my future projects.

9/10 if you ask me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are probably the best headphones i’ve bought. Personally, I love how you can customize the sound and the bass when listening to music. It’s like like I can hear each instrument while also being able to hear the song. Only thing I don’t like is that I can’t connect them to my PS5 via bluetooth, using the cord can be annoying at times.

Great upgrade to my old QC 15 headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went back and forth between these and the Bose 700 headphones. I am really glad I bought the Sony Headphones. These headphones are very light and comfortable to wear over long periods of time. The noise cancelling is superb. I love the feature where the music and noise cancelling will stop and ambient noise is increased when I begin speaking. very easy to pair with various devices.

Great noise cancellation and sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have excellent sound quality and the noise cancelling lives up to its reputation as best-in-class. The headphones are also very comfortable (I wear them for between 2 and 4 hours several times a week). I cannot recommend these highly enough, especially if you can catch them on sale. I'm not a big fan of the app, but I also haven't used it very much. I primarily use these while on my computer, which works well.

When it fails...
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had these since 2020 and they have worked great for the most part. There are 2 things that are VERY bad about these, 1 from the start and the other just started happening. From the very start I have not been a fan of the fact that you can only pair these to 1 device. Technically 2 but since you need to use an app to control them 1 device will be your phone. The other thing is that when it fails it will deafen you in 1 ear. The incredibly loud (able to be heard from the second floor of my home while I was in the basement) will cause AT LEAST considerable short term pain in 1 ear. I had them on when the issue happened and it was easily the loudest, sharpest and most painful sound I have heard. For comparison, I was in the Navy and worked on the flight deck of a carrier (IYAOYAS) and this was much worse than anything I experienced there. Having said all that, the sound quality was very good and the noise cancelling really did eliminated things like the PC fan noise from my system and the heating/AC noise. The bass is good as well and I feel the build quality is equally decent. The battery life lasted all day with constant use and the time to charge is very short. The range was good and I was able to move through a 1200 SQFT 2 story home while remaining connected to a PC in the basement with no issues. I would have given 4 stars if they had not tried to murder 1 ear.

One of my Best Purchases!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is fantastic and the noise canceling is top notch. I’ve gotten used to the touch controls. One of my favorite features is the connection to 2 devices. I switch between my iPhone 12 Pro and IPAD seamlessly. I created my own equalizer setup in the app and use it all the time. The case is handy and it is a quality built case. Battery life works as advertised. Just put on Shazam’s top 100 (Apple Music) sit back and enjoy.
