What buyers say
Great value for daily commute
I've used these for six months now and the battery life is fantastic. ANC does a good job blocking out train noise, and the app lets me tweak the sound to my liking. Highly recommend for the price.
Comfortable but plasticky
Sound quality is impressive with aptX HD on my Android phone. My only complaint is the build feels a bit cheap compared to Sony's offerings. Still, very comfortable for long wear.
Solid all-rounder
Not the best ANC I've tried, but definitely respectable at this price point. Calls sound clear and the app is intuitive. Good buy overall.
Decent but touch controls annoy me
Sound and battery are great, but the touch panel is finicky and I often trigger the wrong function. Otherwise a solid pair of headphones for everyday use.
