2 yrs Using & Still Love
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used these now for 2 years solid and still love these! Typically use these when working out 5-6/ week. The material has held up well with daily use. The sound quality is absolutely amazing. Bass is great with a good balance of sound. The only two cons I have is 1)when doing really hard workouts my ears sometimes feel warm by the end of a workout and I'm happy to take them off. (they're over the ear so thats expected) & 2) When doing high intensity workouts that require me to bend over and back up quickly repeatedly, they sometimes start to slide forward on my head thus requiring me to have to push them back (not a bad con comparative to other cons some have) I'd switch to an around the ear headphone like this, but every one I've tried just hasn't matched up to the quality of these so I keep going back to them. I would highly recommend any looking at these to try them out! I lucked out and got them on a Black Friday deal for a great price. But they are worth the Full price--unlike the Beats I've tried and just are subpar in my opinion.

Fragile connection from arch to ear piece
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After ~1.5 years of loving this, the pronged piece that connects the arch to the headphone part broke on both sides, somehow on the same day, although not at the same time. Trying to reach out to Sony is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Great sound cheap weak parts
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved the sony super bass sound. However, the manufacturing of the actual product was cheap and poor. They literally started to fall apart within a month. I made sure to take special care of them. So when they started to fall apart. It was devistating.

I got them at an afordbale price on Black Friday!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They were originally $250, but on Black Friday they dropped to $124. Overall I love the headphones. I love how I can talk to someone through the phone and the person on the other end can hear me well. The bass is amazing. I can't tell the difference when I turn the noise cancellation on/off, but it's nice to have the feature. If I had to include a con, I would say they look really big on me, but I still love the product.

High Quality, excellent sound!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bluetooth/Wireless, noise cancelling with awesome sound! These headphones have really great, clear hi-fi sound with optiinal bass boost. A nice addition is the app that is basically an eq. It allows you to customize the audio to fit your preferred sound profile. These are high quality, lightweight and easy to set up and customize. I am not really surprised, as I expect quality audio from Sony! Highly recommend these phones.

Better if it wasn't wireless
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We tried to use these on our flight to England and were unable to stay connected due to them being wireless. Had to give up and were only able to use them to silence noises from the plane! If you're looking to use these onboard flights, GET ONES WITH A WIRE!

block that snoring spouse!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just got these, and right in the nick of time! My wife got a spring cold after a weekend of heavy rainfall and has been snoring like a lumberjack. A tap of the mouse cancelling button and I was listening to smooth jazz at night without discomfort. Bluetooth means I don't strangle myself with the cord either! Another epic win by Sony! Charging the battery takes a few hours and lasts a whole day, easy. One star deducted for the iPad control app. Kept crashing on my iPad Pro.

Don't hold up
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.we used these for about 1 year.. used them probably 5 times a week at the gym.. then they just fell apart. Buy them knowing they aren't too durable if you're planning to be sweating while you use them

They don’t work!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I charged these earphones for my recent trip to Italy. They don’t work and wouldn’t take a charge no matter how many times I tried. Defective product, and I flew without being able to use them. Huge disappointment!

The ear cushions tears off and the hinges break!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The earpiece tears off and the hinges break! After the ear cushions came out, I looked for a replacement but could not find any. Then the plastic holding the headphone to the head mount broke. Never will buy these again.

Infant mortality, died the 2nd day
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones aren't reliable, died the 2nd day. During the online chat with tech support they suggested that I return it to Best Buy. And, what a pain to be required to charge using a laptop, not traveler friendly!!

Great sound but clunky
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: 1. A lovely lady speaks softly to me telling me every time I push a button. 2. When I turn on the bass I feel like my head is resting on a concert-grade speaker. 3. The ear pieces that resemble mini helmets (surely they could have been larger) rest comfortably. Comfy padding. 4. Keeps the printers safe (Office Space reference) as I don’t have to hear that person’s voice who stays in meetings all day. Cons: 1. I feel like I’m in a flight cockpit operating a million obscure, unknown buttons. 2. I can only charge it via a laptop. Really Sony? So I have to take my laptop to the gym, beach, dog show, Machu Picchu, etc if I want to use it wirelessly. 3. Why is it so darn big?

Fantastic headphones
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily paired to laptop, tablet and cell phone. Good signal range and battery life. Bass Effect too extreme, no way to decrease level when using on lap top, ended up not using it very much. Noise cancelling works as specified. Add EQ feature for computer and these will be the only headphones you need.
