I have been using these for a really long time now and they still feel top of the line everything works great just a little lose since I bought them more then two years ago but how much more can you want . battery life is still almost the same and I believe I wouldn't have to upgrade for another 6 months maybe more.never wondered they will last this long even the paint has lasted this time no scuffs even though I'm a careless Person.

Bought this about 2 years ago. Sound is really great . BUT... the blue tooth connection sucks! every week it gets worst and worth . Im on the latest iMac. Every time I turn them on it takes me a FEW(!) times to get connected. I must turn them off and on for a few times before it'll connect. And it gets worth every week. I use them only to watch movies the everyone sleeps. Dont know how long will they last.... Sound is great!

I bought this WI-1000X a month ago and I am very please with this unit. With the customizable Noise cancellation via App, this is the best NC wireless ear phone I have tested so far. I can really enjoy my music at the same time aware of my surrounding. It even have feature to adjust automatically to different surroundings! Sound quality is excellent, better than the German brand that I've tested.

I brought this about 3 weeks ago and so pleased with them. They were in the sale in John Lewis and got them in pink. They was one part missing but when I went back to John Lewis, they gave me the part for free. The sound is amazing and feels comfortable over the ears. Very pleased with my purchase and nice not to have dangling wires.

Had this a couple of weeks now. Very happy with it. Wanted something better to listen to audio books and music while using noisy machines like lawn mowers etc. Still have to have volume quite high but they cut out a lot of background noise still. Comfy for long use even while wearing eye wear. I like the touch sensitive controls on the side of the headphones. Effortless Bluetooth connectivity. Great battery life.

I love the sound of these headphones, but after 18 months the lining on the ear pads started peeling off, and Sony won't cover any repairs. I reckon that's pretty poor for a supposedly premium product.

I bought this product about a week ago and I am truly satisfied with it. It has a marvelous sound quality, it is very easy to use and has a good autonomy. The Active Noise Cancelling gives the experience a superior comfort when commuting.

I am very happy with the fit and sound of this product. However, the colored surface coloring of the earpads is cheap, and is peeling off in flakes, exposing the the foam rubber pad.

I love these headphones. I've only had them for a couple of days but so far: amazing sound, light, portable, resistant, decent noise cancelling. All good until I tried to connect them to my PS4. This review is mostly for Sony which as a company decided to allow only some BT headphones to connect to their own Playstation. You guessed it - their top-of-the-line model (the MDR100ABN) did not make that list and will not be allowed to connect to the PS4. Just because.. The only way around it is to connect them via a cable (against the whole point of the WIRELESS headphones) or to buy some strange 3rd party BT/optical or whatever adaptor. Sony headphones to Sony Playstation - not supported although they are perfectly compatible. Or at least they should be. That is disappointing!!

Bought these in red a year ago to use primarily as gaming /tv watching headphones (I have thin walls in my apartment). However, from the firs time time I put them on my head, they practically don’t leave. So now they are my everyday headphones. Savvy and practical, I love these headphones. I get so many compliments on them, too when I’m out and about. My favorited feature is the switch on the rights headset that allows you to pause, skip, or go back one song track. After all the adventures I’ve had with these headphones, I’m surprised they still work as perfectly as they did straighten out of the box. I’ll wear these till they die - then get a new pair. You have a customer for life.

Long flight made more enjoyable using these phones. Usual engine roar almost completely gone. I may well use these elsewhere but they are excellent for aircraft.

I've owned two sets of Sony noise cancelling headphones in my life. The first set I bought about 15 years ago to survive as a parent with young kids when I needed to rest or work from home. I bought the second pair for the exact same reason, the kids are just older now. (-: One of my teenage daughters borrowed them the other day and she was surprised how much nicer they were than here Beats. That made me laugh since Beats makes a great product. Sony's NC headphones are an excellent product for the price point. I use them indoors and outdoors. Highly recommend the product. Thank-you Sony!

I got these as a gift. I use them mostly for studying, but also as my go to headphones for everything except working out. The first few times I used them, I was careful to turn them off whenever I wasn't actively listening to something. I needn't have bothered. I have since realized that I can use them literally all day. As a medical student, some days I am in the library for 16+ hours. I can leave the headphones on for the entire time with no issues. The noise cancelling works well, especially with low frequency constant noises (like vehicles, planes, general chatter in a coffee shop). The ear cups are quite comfortable. I can wear them for a few hours at a time before they start to get a little irritating, then take a 10 minute break and put them back on. The sound quality is pretty good, more than adequate for most people. If you're a serious audiophile, there are probably better options for pure quality. Compared to similarly priced competition, these seem to be the best overall value.

No where could I find any footnotes or other notes that would have warned me NFC pairing (which iPhones *are* capable of doing), is only compatible with Android phones (and only some of them, at that). Very disappointed by this. Otherwise they are decent, but there is a noticeable lack of bass response and sensitivity when using Bluetooth (compared to wired).

I bought this a few weeks ago. I like the sturdiness and crisp sound. Could be a bit more power to the music. Only less good point is the noise cancelling which is still letting noise in. But main thing is it is solid easy to use and delivers a good experience overall.

I have been diagnosed with some hearing loss. This manifests itself in the human speech frequencies, specifically the initial and closing sound of a word, which if there is any background noise I struggle to catch those areas of a word. I thought I’d try some NC headphones as this has impacted on my ability to watch and enjoy movies/ listen to music. I have had to resort to Subtitles to enjoy films. realise that the NC on this set is not the best available on the market, nor is it even the best available from Sony. However as my budget is extremely tight, I thought I’d try a mid range set of Sony’s as I only want the NC ability for home use. The blurb on the NC informs you that they will reduce low frequency background noise and yup they do. What they should be less effective at is vocal range frequencies, but they still take much of that out the picture too. With my wife watching Youtube, my boy playing his Switch and them both holding a conversation at the same time, as me enjoying a movie on Netflix they reduce pretty much everything that was happening in the background. The conversation could still be picked up (but the words for about 95% of the time were indistinct and didn’t really stop me from hearing what I was trying to listen to. Although my son who has an extremely deep (and loud) voice still can break through with distinct words/phrases much more often than the wives voice who I almost never hear when NC is activated. The games console and Youtube just disappeared from my awareness altogether though. So does the NC serve my needs. Mostly is the honest answer. Do they serve my needs enough. Absolutely. More than enough background is killed off for me to get full enjoyment from both my music and Netflix. Where things get interesting though is on the sound clarity. On some newer albums that I have picked up I can hear quieter segments within the background of some tunes that I haven’t heard before. I just didn’t know those parts of the songs existed. The depth to the sound was also extremely gratifying. It has life that I haven’t experienced due to my hearing loss for a long time now. If you are price conscious/restricted (I picked these up in the boxing day sale) and want a decent set of NC cans that delivers good sound then I for one would recommend these.

Tried these out on a week long holiday. With 28 hours battery life, did not have to recharge at any point! The noise cancelling feature worked well on the plane and allowed me to sleep much easier. You never notice how much background sound there is around you until you put these on! The music quality is good. I find you can hear greater detail from instruments then any standard pair of headphones. The controls are perfect and represent real thought in the engineering process. For example the touch pad on the right ear is fantastic (volume, track selection, pause/play and the feature that switches to ambient so you can hear someone without taking the headphones off).

Fantastic sound, great noise cancelling, just used them on a flight. Maybe the on off button could of been better placed, but that's a minor issue

I've a really loud talker sitting next to me at work and he calls people often to complain about things. It's so distracting that I invested some serious funds on these "noise canceling" headphones in an effort to block some of that out. All they do is remove all the white noise from the room, not removing any voice, making the problem worse. It appears Sony should rebrand these as "some noise canceling".

Probably the best sounding wireless headphones I've ever used. In order to achieve maximum sound quality you need to use a Sony player that supports the new LDAC wireless codec - which fortunately I do! And, in that case, your ears are in for a treat! Apart from that, the headphones are extremely comfortable, the controls are in jus the right place, and the noise cancelling is superb. For anyone looking for portable, (near) HiRes wireless quality, these cans are unbeatable.
Well made
