Excellent all rounder

Comfortable with good sound quality and excellent noise cancelling. Would prefer that they folded smaller like Bose and had a hard case rather than the soft one provided. Good battery life. Paid £219 on Prime day so great value.

Not worth it

Headphones totally stopped working in a little over a year, Sony will not offer to repair or any support - they just told me to go find a headphone repair center. Google around, there are known problems with these and the software also sucks.

Decent performance but uncomfortable and fragile.

Noise cancelling is great, sound quality is decent once you've tweaked it with the EQ on the app. Headband is uncomfortable after about 30 mins and the hinges feel really delicate. Lots of users reporting quality issues with headband padding, too.

Loyal Sony Customer but Extremely Disappointed

I've been a longtime, devoted Sony customer I own multiple Sony devices and have always trusted your products. That's why I was so excited (and willing to spend over $400) on these high-end headphones. Sadly, my excitement did not last long. Both sides of the headphones broke at the hinges under normal use. I attempted to get support and a replacement from Sony before trying any DIY fixes, but received no assistance or even a discount toward a new pair. Desperate to keep using them, I glued the broken parts back together. That seemed like a temporary fix but now, just two months later, the glue failed and the internal wiring has broken. The headphones are now completely unusable. I truly want to continue supporting Sony, but this has shaken my confidence. A product at this price point should not fail so quickly, and the lack of meaningful support is deeply disappointing. I'm now stuck without working headphones and questioning whether Sony is reliable anymore for premium audio gear. I hope you'll look at the attached photos and consider this as serious feedback on design durability and customer support. I'd welcome any help or resolution you can offer.

Fragile Earmuff Stems

Have not owned more than 7 months and one of the earmuff stems broke. Called for Warranty and they said not covered.

Great features.

The noise cancelling on these headphones is excellent, perfect for watching movies without any distractions. It really blocks out background noise, making the audio much more immersive. Highly recommended for movie lovers.

DIRTY bent box.. probably sold me used product

I just got my headphones today and although they were in another box with bubble wrap the box was beat up with a lot of black smudges like theses were used or returned. I waiting longer vs going to a store or amazon to get them directly from Sony to help ensure I got a great product. I was never able to reach a real person when I called customer service and the phone hung up on me multiple times. What a shame.

Totally worth it purchase??

I bought this a month ago, and after using it for a good while, I can say the sound quality is SUPERB. It's round, and rich. Pretty clear, plus the noise cancelling is really effective, totally worth whqt you paid for. One thing to note tho is that the controls on the right ear side is pretty sensitive. Sometimes it gets swiped by fabric when I lay down a bit while using it. Other than that, pretty good sound quality --10/10

Great Sound but Poor Build Quality

Bought these headphones in May 2025 and the hinge on the headphone seems to have poor quality control, which is similar to most of the negative reviews. The hinge on one of the earcups that connects the headphone to the headband has failed and the glue and plastic has detached the cup from the headphone band just four months later in September 2025 just from normal use. Upon speaking with customer support and relations and putting in a claim, there is nothing that could be done other than paying for a new pair of headphones or sending it off for a repair at my own expense. For an almost $500 dollar headphones to to be practically defective in four months from purchase due to everyday use is disappointing. At the end, the offer provided was to pay more than I originally paid for the headphones to get a new replacement or to get them repaired for almost half the cost paid for the headphones a few months prior. There is in no way, in good faith, I can recommend this product as this is a consistent issue, from brief research, since its launch. Very unfortunate that there is nothing that can be done as the limited warranty provided does not have any coverage for damage, accidental or not.

Decent buy

I brought this one month ago and now after everyday use I got to know its a little bit louse over my head like when doing workout it falls down even if I am doing something that requires not that much of the movement I tried to adjust the overall fit. And at many place the noice cancelled is not good also it lets a lot of unnecessary sound in. Overall its good ??

The Help Guide is an essential download for Seniors like me. I was up and running within seconds listening to music from my tablet.

Amazing!

By Kloud6

These headphones have exceeded my expectations! These are light and comfortable. Easy to set up by Bluetooth or plugging in. They charge quickly and work so well that my husband had trouble using them to talk to clients because it was weird hearing himself. I did accidentally hit the subtle buttons a few times and the matte finish show fingerprints easier then I'd like but over these are amazing! My mom's begging to use them on her overseas trip.
