Product Reviews

Really glad I bought these and not another pair of AKGs

I bougth this week ago and am so happy that I did it

First I am a huge sony fan, but my review is not biased because I listened to other noise cancelling headphones before. This piece will create an impact of how you listen to your favorite audio tracks

I bought this after months of deliberation and it turns out to one of my Best Buy!!! Cheers Sony team... this is damm good device..

I´m very happy after check to many options I´ve decided for Sony, and I probed by my self great item it is.

Great headphones and noise cannceling is excellent would recommend.

Great sound quality... great noise Canceling especially flying! Even just to zone out without listening to music you won’t hear aeroplane noise

I bought this couple hours ago and i'm in love with it. Premium quality, easy to use, best NC i've ever tried. Sound quality also is good. Overall this is the best headphones at this price range in every category!

Best noise canceling headphones, perfect for traveling/commuting!

I took a long time deciding which headphones to buy, I tested all of the rival ANC headphones and these beat them all hands down. I love the fact that they support codecs such as ldac. The noise cancelling is class leading, and the sound quality is amazing. Sony have carried on the WH 1000 model and I am so glad they have.

I bought it from E-bay even never listening to them before. I was insure in the build and. sound quality. Now I got them and do not sorry about it, they worth of every cent

The features on these headphones are great, the active noise cancelling is very effective, and the ambient mode is very useful when you need to hear noises around you. These features can also be tweaked using the app, as well as a bunch of other nice features like EQ control and "surround" effects. The main problem with these, which Sony now appear to be aware of, is that the touch controls can behave unpredictably outside. Cold and wind seem to activate the touch controls, most commonly activating Voice Control/Siri, while becoming unresponsive to my actual touches. On two separate occasions today my phone decided to call a random contact due to voice control being activated. On neither occasion was it raining, just cold and windy. The current suggested workaround is to turn the headphones off and back on. A better long term solution would be to introduce a lock feature that disables the touch controls until you unlock them. Even if this was only available through the app, it would be an improvement. Overall, I would only recommend these headphones if you only plan to use them mostly indoors. If the touch control problem could be addressed this would be a 5* review. If the problem persists I may return them and get a pair of the QC35 II, but I would miss the ambient mode feature, as well as the quality feel of the WH-1000XM3.

Brilliant just brilliant,was looking for a competitors product (began with B ) and was trying them on instore. Picked up the Sonys,put them on,and took them off again,I could not believe the noise cancelling,it is brilliant. Not too happy about the fixed music,and not being able to try with my own sounds,but need not have worried.Plenty loud enough ( on Samsung s9) and sounds great. The touch controls are good.

Excellent headphones for those who want to listen in noisy environment. You will love them if you like excessive bass, but you will not like default settings if you love pure sound. These do not give as good of a treble as bass. Equalizer will fix somewhat but then you can't use LDAC codec. Switching between NC and Ambient with a separate button is very handy. Clicking for Assistant is also, but you can't have both at the same time, this is sad. Also covering the earcup for talk through is genius but it is waaay to slow. It takes like a second but no more than 200ms is acceptable. You will miss few words before you can hear anything.

only had them 24 hours but impressed with features and ease of use. disappointed with short charging cable

After reading so many positive reviews about these headphones, I just had to grab me a pair and have no regrets about my purchase decision. If you're like me, that you are fed-up of reading the technical aspects and what these headphones have to offer, I like to offer a different aspect to my review. This is certainly a game-changer from my previous KitSound Manhatten bluetooth headphones in terms of my own privacy of listening to music without any noisy distractions and the sound quality is brilliant. Obviously, there are a few niggly teething problems that can be overcome in time from wearing Sony XM3 (since I purchased these headphones on the same day as my review) and would be great if Sony would remedy this in time... I found trying to control the sliding volume up/down and play previous/next a bit daunting, especially turning the volume up and I end up skipping to the next track, so you end up trying to skip back to try again. Perhaps Sony would of faired better by having the volume control on the left headphone and play options on the right headphone. Part of this problem is probably down to the shape of my head as I tend to find the headband comfortable at any angle on my head, which probably confused me with the controls. The app is good with its functions and equaliser settings, but do I really want to keep pulling my phone out to adjust any settings, when most music apps already have this? After all, bluetooth headphones have been designed to be cordless and controlled without having to look at my phone all the time, unless I am changing an album. It's bad enough with people being distracted by their phone, let alone playing around noise cancellation settings on the app that they cant see, let alone hear other folk warning them in a busy street. If you are into your heavy rock music, obviously its good to listen to, but dont get any ideas of headbanging to the likes of Metallica or Status Quo (who???), your headphones wont thank you for it and I have noticed the music shifts from left to right with alot of distortion in between. As mentioned, these headphones are not ideal in temperatures below freezing and rainy weather, which begs the question as to why did Sony place the microphones on top and not below with the rest of the controls? Last but not least, the price tag...before I made a decision to purchase these, I did try other brands including Bose, Skull Candy, Beats amongst others and even though these headphones are high up in terms of Noise Cancellation, I felt the sound from these wasnt that much of an impact in terms of others offering the same, unless you work in a really noisy environment. Worth £330? No. I would of expected to pay in the region of £200-250, but what I recieved is a normal set of bluetooth headphones with built in technological circuitry to enhance noise cancellation for £330, which is alot of money to some people. Having said that, like the Sister Sledge track 'Lost In Music', if you're into your music without any noise disruption, then these headphones are for you.

The sound quality and the noise cancelation are amazing.

Best headphones I’ve bought. Great features and worth it.

I cringed at the price but bought these cans anyway. Turns out they are the best all round headphones I've ever bought. Pros - they do everything well, take and receive phone calls with good clarity, noise cancellation is really superb, comfort is amazing, touch controls are simple to use, bluetooth connectivity quality and range is great. Most surprising - the audio quality is as enjoyable as my Shure, Klipsch and Etymotic in-ears!. Cons - the iphone app is a bit clunky but no big deal. I don't regret the price one bit, highly recommended (apologies for sounding like a Sony fanboy but these cans are great).

The best sound and quality, very comfortable, and the bass it's amazing

I bought these headphones and they worked much better than I was expecting. Well worth the money.

I bought this product a few days ago and love it amazing

Usual Sony quality, I have auditioned several pairs of wireless headphones in the last two years, and found that these sound better than any other brand in the same price range.
