Wow the headphones are truly the best headphones I’ve ever purchased. The base is amazing and the high and lows are on point. You can download the app for a full customizable feel and boy is it worth it. The build quality is solid and durable and comfortable for long time use. I’m being honest here as I’ve spent a lot of money on these. You will not be disappointed in the slightest.

My son has these headphones on his ears 24/7….. hes very happy with these headphones so obviously getting my moneys worth… i thought omg they were expensive!!!!! …but of course buying these my son has QUALITY….cheap headphones damage your hearing….these of course are not damaging my sons heating as like i have already said he wears them 24/7 ….there is also many functions on these geadphones that are not available on others…if you need a good quality set of headphones then buy these…you wont regret it …i am sure my son will get many tears of enjoyment from these….so would you if you huy them ..thank you seller..

Great headphones, improved comfort on the previous generation and even better performance. Fantastic sound quality when noise cancelling on/off, perfect for all situations

Love these!
Completely blocks out the neighbours when they’re using their noisy garden tools or cutting the grass, blocks out noisy kids playing next door, too. Well worth the money just for the peace they provide!

As a massive audiophile, these headphones are the best on the market in their price range.

Slightly gritty at high volumes but a play with the equaliser levels sorted that right out. Perfect noise cancelling and the hands free features are excellent. There is also a very handy mute feature to mute your music and noise cancelling so you can interact with people without having to remove the headphones.

I had to write this review as I spent so much time deliberating and testing these against the Jabra offering. I had already ruled out the Bose QC’ as they are older technology and other then NC they lacked features of the newer Sony’s and Jabra. I had to return the first pair of these as the BT kept dropping out (tired on several devices) second set are spot on. I am a big music fan and like sound to be as good as it can babe within my budget. Lets face it, these are not cheap and I can’t justify the spend by saying I am a frequent air traveller because I am not. My aim was to get the best ANC headphones combined with the best sound quality, these are to be used in the (noisy) office, train, out and about and at home when the kids are watching one of their movies.

Noise Cancelling – Wow, as soon as they are switched on, the ANC kicks in and pretty much puts you in a world of your own, its freaky but comfortable, no weird feelings of pressure change, they just work. Great

Sound Quality – Superb, there are a few shared playlists on most streaming services there people have shared their ‘Headphones Testing Playlists’ definitely worth a listen when testing new headphones and these playlists usually contain some tracks designed for headphones and to hear them on a good set is quite amazing. These do not disappoint.

Comfort – Lightweight, no stress on my head (and I wear glasses) and for me, the most comfortable headphones I have ever used (and I have gone through many, many sets over the years)

Niggles – Yes, of course. You can only connect to one active device at a time, (the Jabra’s allowed two connections) meaning if I want to change from my phone to my MacBook, I have to disconnect from one then connect to the other, this may not sound like much hassle but once you have used a set that can connect to 2 devices simultaneously, you will notice the different (especially if you move from devices a lot). Second niggle, the auto power off is based on BT connectivity, not actual use. Meaning, if I take the headphones off to stop using them, but the device they are connected to is still in range (and it always is within the house or office) they won’t power off (other headphones I have turn off after a period of inactivity), this caught me out a few times so now I have to make the conscious decision to power them down each time I finish using them. Third and final niggle is that the Sony App isn’t fully compatible with iOS13/13.1/13.2 some features simply don’t work. No sign of a firmware update as yet.

Features – Excellent, although these are not a newly released headphone, they are jam packed with features. The touch controls are very good, just the right sensitivity and each to get used to. The ANC levels are also superb as you can vary via the app. The codes supported covers the entire range of possibilities. Finally, despite the problems with iOS13, the app is very good. You get a very good equaliser, ANC control and access to other settings.

Compared to the Jabra? – Difficult, the Jabra sound better to me and they do have some positives that best the Sony’s but the ANC isn’t as good (lets face it nothing from any brand is at this moment in time). I done a big comparison between the two and the Jabra faired very favourably but in the end I opted for these and I am glad I did.

Hope this helps someone looking to buy these – Cheap they are not but quality they most certainly are.

If you found this useful, please tick the little thumbs up – Thank you.

These are fabulous headphones . The noise cancelling is excellent, you can download an app and the headphones can even tell if your walking or on bus or train and will adapt.
I would buy these again in a heartbeat.
The only thing I’d like to see is some bright colours like Beats.

Brilliant. Easy to connect to whatever has Bluetooth. Great sound quality and the noise cancelling is just marvellous.

Very happy with the product, I previously had Dr Dre’s but after two pairs breaking on me after a couple of years of use I decided to change brand. I find the Sonys extremely comfortable and the noise cancelling is very good, the smart technology amazes me when it knows the differents between inside and outside. The sound quality is still there. I would highly recommend

Bought these after agonising over different brands such as Bose and even the Surface headphones that were rated best by the Which? website. 270 is a lot to spend on headphones but I was willing to spend the money if they truly lived up to what I wanted i.e. excellent noise cancelling, excellent sound quality and really comfortable to wear. Also good battery life was important. After reading and watching various reviews I decided to go for these ones. I have to say I’ve been blown away – noise cancelling is astonishing on these headphones – ambient noise virtually disappears and with music playing you don’t hear a thing around you. I haven’t tried these on a plane yet but I expect them to be very effective having owned previous cheaper models of Sony NC headphones which have worked well. These are so comfortable to wear, my ears usually get a bit itchy and hot with headphones but haven’t found this at all with these. The sound quality is superb and volume goes very loud. Definitely need the companion app with these headphones as you can further adjust settings including the EQ which means you can have the bass turned up – oh my god the bass is so good!
All in all I have no regrets and glad I chose Sony over Bose and Surface.

Generally a good product. However when using these headphones on an aeroplane the sound cancellation did not muffle as much sound as I was hoping and I could still hear babies crying a few seat in front of me. The other problem is that the touch controls on the right ear up can sometimes be a bit unresponsive and can require multiple gestures for your intended action to take place. However they still have very good sound quality and are generally good headphones. Overall I would say they are good but not worth 270. More 200

Top of its class, but not perfect. Great battery life, quality design and construction. The noose cancellation is not perfect and the headphones sound a loud ‘dong’ (Unnecessary) when adjusting for pressure/ambient sound changes for NC.

The side controls are a neat idea, but do not work every time and are rather fiddly.

Overall a great pair of headphones though and better than the Bose QC’s

Excellent headphones, very comfortable on the ear, even for long periods. I have B&O and Bose in ear and there are every bit as good. I mainly use Sony for flying. Sound adjustment it nor really my style. And the headphone name is crazy. But the product is worth it.

It took me a while to decide between them and the Bose. Noise cancellation was the most important feature I was seeking for, I tried them both and the Sonys performed slightly better. Anyway the part where they truly won is sound quality, which is excellent.

Using it with the app, when it is changing the noise cancelling modes to adapt to the surroundings, it makes a notification sound and interrupts the music, which is annoying. I have uninstalled the app. Other than that, top-notch quality, elegant design, the best headphones I ever had.
Later edit:
1. I am not always happy with the touch controls, sometimes they are a little bit erratic.
2. Previously, I had a pare of Sony h.ear on MDR-100ABN noise-cancelling headphones. Compared to them, but also as it’s advertised, I’ve expected a better lifetime battery for Sony Wh-1000xM3. But it doesn’t feel this way, I don’t know why…

Ok it’s a Sony so the good quality finish and well made carry case were as expected but the real knockout is the superb noise cancelling performance. I have owned two expensive top brand rivals and in my amateur opinion these Sony headphone have the edge. Maybe they just suit my hearing better. The headset padding is very comfortable and the ratcheted height adjustment is very slick. I’ve not measured the battery life but I went through an audio book and more over 3 days and had some charge to spare, so it must be approaching the advertised 30hrs. It certainly recharged in under 4 hours. I’ve not marked the headset down but the charging cable is very short (about 5 inches) so a little inconvenient plus it doesn’t use the very common micro USB fitting which I have in abundance on longer cables so will need to buy another cable or a connector to extend the standard USB end.

There are plenty of plus sides to these cans and I go everywhere with them. However I will say that there is only one slight downside.

If you’re in a windy environment with them on, you will hear the hissing of the wind as it enters the side inputs. That’s the only downside!

The sound quality is brilliant, the features it comes with as well as how well you can interact with it is phenomenal and overall I’m pleased with the purchase.

From the start I just knew I had something worth my hard earned cash. Big step up and upgrade from my previous Sony headphones and Apple AirPod.

Yes, the voice prompts can be irritating. The connectivity can be a bit fiddly when two devices are present. The app is a bit rubbish. But…

The noise cancelling is just jaw-droppingly good. I had to grit my teeth to pay this much for headphones, and contemplated the Bose vs. B&O vs. Sony conundrum for ages before biting the bullet, but I’m delighted to say these are worth every penny. Turn them on and your train magically becomes near-silent, even before you’ve pressed play.

Sound quality is everything you would expect from Sony, and the touch controls on the cups work brilliantly (especially the ‘cover to mute’ feature).

No regrets over choosing these cans, can’t wait for my next flight 🙂

amazing bit of kit which sounds and looks fantastic. yes, it is expensive but it is well worth the money if you’re looking for quality. would highly recommend.

I’ve gone through many headphones, but I’ve never really had the chance to get proper noise canceling ones. I’ve heard a ton about these headphones and decided to make them my first official noise-canceling headphones.

And man, these headphones are amazing!

The noise canceling is mind-blowing, I ride the subway every day and I hear from little to nothing. It’s pure bliss. You can also adjust how much ambient sound comes through which is a nice touch along with the option to cover the right earcup with your palm and be able to hear everything around you which is extremely useful in many situations!

Along with that, the sound quality is astonishing. The bass is really clear and punchy but doesn’t overpower any other sounds. Everything sounds clear, the vocals sound really clean, there’s a very good balance between all the lows, mids and highs. They’re basically the best sound you can get on a pair of headphones.

The functionality of skipping tracks, raising the volume and pausing with the headphones felt seamless, there are times where I barely take out my phone to skip a track.

Also, the battery life is insane, I go 3 days without having to charge these, these are great for long trips or flights.

The headphones also feel really comfortable, my only problem is sometimes my ears can get a little sweaty at times, it’s not a huge issue but it can be really annoying as I’ll have to take off my headphones for a couple seconds just to cool off my ears. Thankfully, it’s only happened about 3 or 4 times in my week so far of using it, so it isn’t an extremely huge problem.

Overall, these headphones are absolutely amazing and I’d recommend them to anybody who wants amazing noise canceling and sound in their headphones.

Headphones have literally broken for no reason after two weeks, they were used as intended, were handled correctly and they broke within two weeks, 1*

*Update* recieved a replacement pair today, absolutely perfect no problems so far, brilliant, so 5*

Got these headphones just before Christmas and I have to say they are the best one I’ve own so far comparing this with the Bose QC35 ii. The ANC cancelling and sound overall with better bass is slightly better than Bose. I did some tests on on the battery and it almost live up to what they said. Using USB-C to charge is the way to go.

However, as always there are cons with this. I’ve had some issues with the headphones not working properly so when I am out in the cold; at first I thought I did something to it as Siri was activated without me touching it and the ambient sound was turned off and the motion touch was not working. After I did some research, many people had this problem when the temperature was below 0 degrees. This caused a huge problem for me as I expect a premium headphone like this would not have this problem. I also researched the Bose QC35 ii and they are more suitable.

However, I got a replacement and I am going to decide if I want to return the item and get something else instead as I wouldn’t want to be out listening to music and all of a sudden because of the temperature everthing goes bizzard.

Love these headphones. They block out everything when you use them and the noise cancelling is brilliant, won’t disappoint. For heavy usage (about 4hours a day) it will lose about 30 to 40 Percent,so it could last 2-3 days like that. The battery charges very quickly,in my experience it never took more than 2 hours max. They are also super comfortable. The latency is the only bad thing,the sound quality drops alot if you move away from the device you’re paired with. Hope you find this useful.

These headphones are quite remarkable! The noise cancelling technology is very impressive; far superior to anything else that I have heard. The sound quality is amazing – sounds better than the very expensive (and now redundant) wired headphones that I used to use with my Sony Xperia phone. They are lightweight and fold up nicely in their case. They look great and the build quality, finish and battery life are all excellent.
