Best headphones I have ever owned
I am an audiophile, there is no doubt about it, it is very difficult for me to find satisfaction in the sound quality of headphones or a sound system. But these headphones are by far the best I’ve heard. It says extra bass, but honestly I’d say it has the right amount of bass, just more than the average person would experience.
The clarity of sound is spectacular, and it is not one bit muffled or tinny. You can use them to listen to music, watch movies with a better experience, I even use them for playing games on my PC, and it is an amazing experience.
The sound cancelling on them is absolutely amazing, we had the plumbers around to rebuild our bathroom and they had noisy power tools and hammers and such, and the headphones blocked everything. They’re amazing! And, they are so so comfortable to wear, you can wear them for very long periods of time without it hurting in the slightest, they sit very well on my head. And the ear cups when you first put them on feel so nice, because of the cooling pad technology.
My brother has even said that they are the best headphones he has ever heard too!
I highly recommend, they are amazing for the price that they are. I would think of these as worth 200+ rather than 100.
The battery life is really good, they do not lie. And the touch controls on the side work very well, they are not a trashy gimick.
Amazing headphones, would buy again. Thank you Sony
Great sound
Great set of headphones, sound is great good sound cancellation can’t hear the other half, what more can you ask for . Music sounds Crystal clear and the bass is fantastic, Sony app is easy to use and set settings for headphones. Battery life is fantastic.
Great sound and features
Struggling to find any faults with these headphones. Great sound quality, deep, solid bass, excellent mid range and treble. They are light and comfortable to wear. Volume and skip tracks just by sliding a finger up or down, left or right along the right ear cup. Can be controlled via an excellent app from the playstore which allows you to adjust the sound to numerous handy presets or you can adjust each level manually. Bluetooth connection is always quick and stable. Highly recommended.
Just as expected
Present for my grandson he is very pleased with the headphones
These are the best headphones I’ve ever owned.
The sound quality is outstanding and they are really comfortable. The sound cancellation is excellent and the battery life is fab. Highly recommended.
Good Noise cancelling headphones with great control
The noise cancelling is good, but not amazing. It does cancel out most ambient room noise at normal levels – People chatting, the radio etc but you can still hear certain frequencies. (the shrill sound of my bosses voice when I’m ignoring her and listening to music for example)
I like that you can electronically control the amount of noise cancelling to have audio pass though. I’ll have it on full pass though for example when listening in bed so that if the misses speaks I can hear her which is handy to avoid crapping myself when she gets my attention my whacking/poking/flicking/shouting etc.
The clarity is quite so good as it’s a “bass” bias, but I imagine if I play with the processing on the ap I can lighten it up a bit. The clue is in the title however so it’s entirely my fault.
All in all I would recommend!

An excellent gif
My husband requested some headphones for his birthday so I selected these ones. He really likes them and had not had any issues with them. He said that the sound quality is great and they are easy to control.
An Essential For Everyone
What more could you want, these are the best headphones if you’re a casual listener like me. They come with an aux cable for wired listening if you want. I wasn’t sure about the ‘Extra Bass’, which honestly could put people off of these, but I knew Sony have an app where you can adjust the bass levels dramatically- from -10, 0, and +10, because heavy bass isn’t the greatest for relaxed listening and I’m far from the biggest bass fan. The charging cable that comes with these is pretty short, but I would advise against using anything while it’s charging so it’s far from a complaint(plus, they last forever without having to charge them!)
The app features an equalizer (much like Spotify), so you can adjust your music settings to whatever you want. I’m a fan of the Treble Boost. I was afraid of these headphones having too much bass but they seem perfectly balanced especially with the app’s freedom of choice, you can turn it up and down to your preference!
The Noise Cancellation is absolutely perfect, kind of scarily so when you’re on a walk for example because you hear nothing! However, they also have ambient listening so you can switch between hearing what’s around you and blocking it out! VERY handy.
These were an upgrade from my 2 year old Airpods because the noise cancellation in those are nonexistent which annoyed me on walks, and because headphones are great & essential to have anyway.
These also have some very nice touch controls as well, but I don’t need to use those too much since these work great with my Apple Watch and I can control music volume etc through that!
Been using these for 4 days and haven’t had to charge them once yet. Comfortable with glasses as well. I believe these also have a mic in them (pretty damn decent from what I’ve heard) so you can use them for phone calls.
Audio quality wasn’t overly noticeable first time I used them, but they’re still top tier and perfect for listening especially with the equalizer and bass settings.
No complaints whatsoever. An essential for everyone.

Good but some things to conside
Product is good quality generally
Sound Cancelling is good, can hear some noises (i.e loud chatter, but a lot quieter than without NC on)
Sound quality is great
Using Sony app bass and volume control is excellent
Would consider that touch functions (except cover to turn off noise cancelling) do not work when wired
Headphones work when not charged but with much lower quality, still good headphones without charge
Would recommend for price, maybe buy on sale for more value for money!!
