    Review summary pretty much says it all. These do what they say, decent noise canceling. The bass boost does a decent job of boosting the base, but I just could never get the volume I wanted out of these. A little pricey for what they deliver.

    From the minute you open the box...

    You know these headphones are going to be good. The first thing you notice is the size of these headphones, they are large. When you open the box, you see the headphones lying flat. When you take them out and lift the first layer, you find the carrying bag which has a USB charging cord and a regular mini-plug cord so you can plug these in to any non-Bluetooth devices you have. The headphones are made of plastic but feel rugged and well made. The adjustment sliders are smooth and feel like they were precision built. The ear cups are butter soft and engulf your ears making a solid seal against my head, however, if you have unusually large ears, these might be uncomfortable. They paired quickly with an old iPhone 4 I use just for music and podcasts but the Sony Headphone Connect app wouldn’t run as it requires IOS version 9 or higher. Also, I assume since the Bluetooth version on the phone is only 2.1, the volume rocker on the headphones does not work, the track forward and back does but the pause does not. I was also able to pair them with my NFC enabled android phone just by tapping the phone to the NFC symbol on the left ear piece, which is also where the Bluetooth antenna is. This is the 4th Bluetooth headset I’ve had and the Sony is the best at maintaining the signal and not dropping or cutting up the sound. The instructions say it takes 7 hours for a full charge but you can get 3 hours of usage from a one hour charge. The headphones will not power on or connect while they are charging and the USB plug is for power only. You can listen to them with the included patch cord while they are charging. When you power the headphones on, you are greeted with a polite voice that speaks what is happening, as she does when you turn the extra bass and noise cancelling on or off. On to the sound. It would seem to me that one of the reasons you buy these headphones is “Extra Bass” and they absolutely deliver! I found that even without the Extra Bass turned on, most songs had a very good bass response and sound great. Turn on the Extra Bass and you get head shaking bass very similar to what you might hear driving down the road in the car that’s beating bass so loud you hear the windows rattle. The sound is further configurable with the Sony Headphone connect app, which allows you to configure surround sound effects labeled Arena, Club, Outdoor Stage and Concert Hall. It also lets you adjust Clear Bass Electro Bass Booster which allows you to adjust the level of bass to your liking. The app also allows you to control the noise cancelation. The headphones remember the settings from the app even if you change devices or power them off and back on. The noise cancellation works really well for low sounds like engine or motor noise and general background traffic noises. Also tunes out your significant other sitting next to you and talking. It works even if no music is playing. Unlike noise canceling headphones in the past, the music did not seem muffled when the cancelling was on. The only downfall I have with these headphones, as with all on/over ear headphones is my ears get hot and sweaty. These are great for sitting back and enjoying your music. Not something I will wear in the hot summer sun. Over all, these are the best headphones I’ve had so far and I would recommend them to anyone looking for great sounding music with head pounding bass.
