Pros:
Comfort: It's ver comfortable - it fits me very well - very light so any prolonged wear (over 2hr period) this head phone won't give you a headache

Set up: Easy, especially if you have an Andriod phone - would not recommend for iphone - just doesn't connect properly which is a shame

Noise cancellation: of the head phone 4.5/5 - I vacuum - I can barely hear it
If you're just studying and don't want to necessary listen to music - can turn on ambient sound which drowns out most back ground noise

Very good battery life: - so far I've only had it for about 3 weeks and using it about 5 hours daily

Let’s start with the negatives because that’s what people care about

-the name, when ever I’m trying to recommend these to someone I cannot remember the name Trivial I know but trying to talk about something you enjoy when you can’t remember it’s name it painful.

- the touch/swipe controls really not a fan , Constantly find my self Having to redo a swipe command and rely on my phone control where ever possible just doesn’t register your actions or the actions are so precise it gets it wrong , a good example to skip a song you swipe west to e...Read more

This is my first pair of over ear headphone after my 10 years old wired ear buds snaps in 2 pieces due to old age of the wiring. Was skeptical whether I should spend this much on a head phone but I really wanted a true wireless good quality headphone or earbuds but don't want to worry about battery which this headphone excel along with many other features.
the noise cancelling is good and comfortable, I can still hear some noise but it's won't distract you from what you are listening ( note: i don't blast with high volume ). It sounds great wit...Read more

I'm comparing these Sony's to a set of Sennheiser 4.50hd headphones that I "lost" a month ago on a trip interstate. Considering you can get a set of my old Sennheisers at JB hifi for about $130 at the moment you would hope that the Sony headphones would be a big step up.

So, I guess I'm going to pick out the features of the Sony headphones and compare them to the much cheaper (now) Sennheiser headphones.

1. Sound Quality

The most important thing with any set of headphones is the quality of sound.

For me it's a tie, the Sony's have a richer sound but overdo it on the bass.

As many other reviewers have noted these headphones do sound great, and the active noise cancelling works fantastically well.

Call quality is only OK - good enough but not great, but really - who cares? As long as I can hear them and they can hear me, then that's all I really need.

Sound quality is pretty good, but not as good as, say, my Sennheiser Momentum 2 cans, (as a comparison). Bass can be a bit muddy at times.

Also, as with all Bluetooth headphones I've tried, they don't really go very loud. Certainly nowhere near as loud as a pair o...Read more

I love music but I hate noise!
Actually I must suffer Misiphonia look it up and laugh). With this diagnosis in mind and having two young and very noisy children I was getting agitated not being able to enjoy my rather expensive and dearly loved hifi system. I needed a solution and noise canceling headphones were the answer.
I have 2 sets of nose hifi speakers I’ve had for over 20 years so Bose was where my heart was leaning but reading reviews and a little test driving and Sony was the winner.
I love these things, the noise canceling means I ca...Read more

Bluetooth and App
Connecting them to my phone was easy as, all I had to do was turn them on and go into the sony app (has lots of features) to connect, and that was it! For those unaware, these headphones support LDAC which is sony's proprietary Bluetooth codec, supported on most new Android phones, otherwise, AptX or AptX HD (sorry Apple, you don't support any of these) and it had me a bit confused on how to set it up. Turns out all you have to do is go into settings and enable it manually (in my case at least). This will stream a higher quali...Read more

my first premium headphone. I was a bit apprehensive to spend so much on a headphone but now I am glad I did. The noise cancellation is pretty awesome and there is nothing to complain about the sound quality. I like my songs with extra bass and the headphone delivers on it. The build is pretty solid and feels premium.

But a couple of pet peeves...
1. Ears get warm with prolonged use
2. The voice guidance completely mutes the audio which can be very annoying when you are on a call and the headphone changes profile.

Edit: I was so awestruck wit...Read more

I've owned (and still own) Bose Noise Cancelling headphones - the QC-15 (now 6 years old) and the QC-35-II, and love them both. Bought the QC-35's because they're wireless, but the QC-15 is still going strong. I use them for work (phone calls) and listening to music, including on flights.
A colleague has the WH-1000 and was lyrical about it. I saw them at at JB-Hifi so tried them on, and they immediately felt very comfortable: evidently my ears are large, so they don't quite fit inside the QC-35's cups. The Sony's cups are a tiny bit larger so ...Read more

Pros:
- The ANC is insane. I wear these in the office, and at 30% volume cannot hear conversations next to me.
- Extremely comfortable and lightweight. I get Cervicogenic headaches, and heavy headsets will trigger these headaches. I can wear these for hours without any pain at all.
- The audio quality is good. Not amazing, and on the default profile, the bass is a little heavy. The bright/excited preset is the best for me I've found.
- The battery life is amazing

Cons:
- The microphone leaves a lot to desire. Muffled and hard to hear in high a...Read more
