Bought these to use with my sony walkman. Really happy with them. Sound is great. Good features. Pair up brilliantly. Comfy and good looking. They fold up and come with a cloth case. There is also an inbuilt mic which is handy if you plan on using them with a phone.
I bought these a couple of weeks ago. They paired easy to my reciever and sender gadget then i could listen to the tv through them. Also paired well with my iphone and google speakers. Battery lasts quite a while as i only charge them once a week.
So far, I like this headset a lot. Only reason why I'm taking one star off is the fact that this comes with the smallest possible charging cable, featuring a length of a whopping 9 inches (and that's rounded up!). I mean, who is charging their headset lying on the floor immediately next to a power outlet? How much additional cost would it mean for SONY to include a regular charging cable (like the 40 inch cable that every iPhone comes with)? Disappointing to say the least...
Really happy with the headphones so far, great sound quality (especially the bass) and noise cancelling. Also very comfortable for long term wearing. My only problem is that the microphone is very poor quality for calls, it comes out very muddy.
Very pleased with these. Bought them for my wife who finds them very comfortable and give excellent sound. She also appreciates the noise cancelling, though, she might just not want to listen to me!
Bought these 4 days ago, I was super happy, thought I found the deal of a lifetime. Until I used them with a device other than a mobile phone, and the TIDAL music streaming service. Once off of here they default to this super low heavy range, the slightest hint of bass causes them to distort and muffle out all the other audio.
Were great for 2 months. Now the BT connection is sketchy. Music breaks up, crackles every 20 seconds. It seems that something is disrupting the BT stream. Works fine with my laptop and using a direct connect wire. Android Phone (MotoZ4) must have some app causing the problem. HOWEVER: I still love them but can't enjoy them aymore because the constant interruption of sound is intolerable. So it's just one more really great product that just don't work. Hope you have better luck than I had with em.
I got these as a gift from my partner for Christmas 2019. I have been bugging for nice headphones to use mostly for the gym. I charged the headphones to 100% battery when I first used these. I use these headphones every day for about 1.5-2 hours each time. It has been almost 6 months since I have had these, and almost 6 months since the last time I charged them- and they are still only at 50% battery. THAT IS AMAZING. I have never had a product that had such an incredible battery, as well as an app to pair them. You can customize features on your preference (if you like more bass, less bass, noise-cancelling, ambient noise...etc). They're comfortable I prefer over-the-ear headphones. The design is wonderful and breathable. These headphones are unreal and also pair well with my Fitbit when running. Defintely would recommend to anyone!! So worth it.
Purchased these headphones after looking at many others.Love the bass and ability to configure the sound one likes with the aid of the app.The only gripe I have is the length of the charging lead, was to short.
I have been using these headphones since I bought them a few weeks ago every day and they are a huge upgrade compared to the headphones I had before. They are very comfortable, even over very long periods, and the sound quality is great. The touchpad controls are responsive as well. Finally, the noise-cancelling works very well and I love the quick attention feature.
I bought these headphones a few weeks into lockdown. They do exactly what was described in the product information. The reproduction quality if first class, the noise cancelling option is really good. A perfect addition to my sound system.
I bought these to replace Bose Q35 because of a known defect that Bose has chosen to ignore. The noise cancelling on these headphones is non-existent. Turning on Ambient Sounds Mode just adds to the noise, creating an additional and very distracting layer of white noise that in no way counters external noise. I can't even turn up the volume to try to drown out background noise. The volume is ridiculously low when turned up to its highest level. These are garbage.
I bought this after i read lot of reviews and always have trust in sony product . And as usual sony didnt fail me here, Headphone was great from the day one though the full bass effect takes some time to burnin . Sony connect app is exceptional on adjusting the equaliser to each individual taste.
I bought these a few weeks ago. Comfy and gray noise cancelling and sound quality however I cannot use the mic and audio wirelessly with conference calls on my laptop, have tried to fix many different ways but the mic just won’t work wirelessly which is a shame
Recently switched to Sony from another brand after a recommendation from my brother. So glad I did. The noise cancelling is great, you can really feel the bass and the battery life is great.
Bought this product after a friend recommended it to me. Generally, pretty pleased with the quality. For the price, the noise cancelling seems to block off a lot of noise which is great, I know I can buy more expensive and better noise cancelling but for this price, this is pretty good. Battery life is great, product doesn't feel cheap, there are bits that are plasticy but it's expected, responsive with touch, comfortable for a long use, bluetooth connection is pretty resposive and fast as well.
Minor gripes: 1. Jack plug inserts into rh side of my Apple Mac but connects to lh earpiece of headphones 2. Pictorial set up instructions not that helpful for someone new to headphones
Otherwise and excellent product with great listening qualities
I've been wearing these now for 6 months but I'm still getting that feeling of surprise every time I try a new song that uses a unique bass-line. I think the main strength of these headphones is the heavy bass giving the impression of a pair of headphones with a better, richer sound for half the price. So for the price I would definitely recommend them. Things that could be better: well when I was buying them I was also considering the WH-1000XM3 and I'm sure others are too. The 1000XM3 is definitely better for overall sound hands down which is what I was originally going to buy but after hearing these I could see a lot of value to be saved and I'm glad I did. The heavy bass hits really well and I've had a lot of sony stuff in the past and so the quality is similar - very good. I do think that these headphones suffer in the noise cancelling area and this is something common to sony headphones compared to say the Bose 700 which are truly better for noise cancelling. But the bass is so punchy and fun on this pair that it in the end it depends on whether you need a lot of noise cancelling for say commuting or you what a better sound with adequate noise cancelling. I do wish Sony included another pair of pads in the box - I don't feel these will last the long period of time I indeed to keep it for. Also, the website to register them is a bit buggy so be sure to check up on the gaurentee duration - didn't work exactly as it should for me.
My first pair of wireless headphones and very pleased with them. Good deep sound and great battery life. One niggle is the ridiculously short USB-type C cable for charging.
I was lucky to buy these during black friday at BestBuy, but man I don't regret. See, I was looking for headphones that I would stick with for the REST of my LIFE. And trust me...I have found THE ONE!
I was looking for headphones that I could use in different settings; when I travel, play computer games, for music, videos etc. without spending too much money and I am very happy with my WH-XB900N headphones. I am able to take phone calls and listen to music when I'm cooking and need to walk around the house to get ingredients. Sound quality, connectivity and microphone are better than expected. The touch controls are a lot of fun, too. These are my first over-ear headphones and I am pleasantly surprised with my experience. The battery life is more than enough as I am not a heavy user. I do utilise the cable since my laptop cannot handle group phone calls, games over wifi and bluetooth connectivity simultaneously. I was told my voice sounds clear and I can hear my friends clearly as well. I was worried about comfort since I have a narrow head. In certain positions I do feel a little pressure on my jaw bone, but with some readjustment that problem can be easily solved. One of my favourite features is ambient mode which feeds my own and my friends' voices back into the headphones while I'm on the phone or listening to music. I don't need to take them off to hear when someone wants to talk to me. In summary, I am very happy with my purchase and I would happily recommend it to a friend. I did have to buy a separate case, however.
My daughter is very pleased with these - great using controls on the headphones- down side is most electronics like android so the Alexa app doesn’t work on voice control (but that is the other phones soft ware being exclusive- you know whom I’m talking about) - my husbands Samsung is fine with it
I bought these to listen to music on my 30 year old Sony Stacking System, as well as connectivity to iPad and Computer. Set up to iPad was simple one the app is installed. For connection to stereo, I had to resort to You Tube. However, with the purchase of a Bluetooth transmitter plugged directly into the headphone jack, the headphones work perfectly. Particularly like the volume control by tapping on right phone. Comfortable to wear, and the sound quality is exquisite, though I’m sure this is partly due to the fantastic sound from the stacking unit itself. Thank you Sony for keeping me connected!
I think I had very high expectations and got a bit disappointed, to be honest. I have always had Sony and genuinely believe that my in ear wired phones sound better, quality wise. If it's a little louder, quality drops. Also thought the fitting would be tighter, totally eliminating external noise, but is quite loose and keeps sliding. Foam protection, for around ears will wear off fast, as it's not firm. It blips now and then and I'm not sure why. Battery goes super fast. Expensive for what it is, really.
I bought this through Amazon Dec. 27, 2019. In April 2020, I plugged it in to charge and it won't charge. Tried different USB ports and everything, no light will come on. It will not charge. I think that the plug in, into the headphones is defective. What do I do?
Simply amazing. Was not expecting the sound to be as good as this: the bass rattles your skull. Can’t recommend highly enough, just wished I hadn’t waited this long to buy them.
I have tried various headphones from various brands but these have been the best so far! I 100% recommend them to anyone who wants a decent pair of headphones, although the only thing personally would be that the noise-cancelling isn't as good as its competitor brands... otherwise they are great!
Has an awesome base and love listening to Alexa using this product. No regrets whatsoever even if the price was a little bit over the top for me. I recommend this product to anyone who loves greats music.
I bought this item on the recommendation of a friend. During the current lock down it enables one of us to listen to music while the other is working from home. What I then discovered was how good they are. Very easy to use and set up the WiFi system and the sound quality is fantastic. I have a large CD collection 1000+ and it is like listening to new music again. Highly recommended for all music lovers
I have previously had dr beats 3, sennheiser and have bose in ear bluetooth earphones. These are spot on well on pair with the others. Bass to die for if that's your thing. Also can change that on many of the sound settings to how you like your music. I would highly recommend these!
Bought these for listening to music but also make VOIP calls at work. The sound quality for listening to music is fantastic but the microphone when connected to my PC was awful. People on the other end could hardly hear me. Tried changing different setting to no avail. In the end returned them and got to Sennheiser instead which work great. If you only want them for music though they are brilliant headphones and really comfortable.
