Love these headphones
I had last years previous model but dropped them on cement and they broke totally my fault . It broke one of the cups . I loved those headphones so was hoping to find them cheap since it was the older model . Decided since only $20 more for new version I would give these a shot . Really same great headphones with the app - kind of cool but like heavy bass so don't really use the other presets . These are such good headphones for half the price of... Show More

Very good headphones
These headphones work well for my application, which is listening to TV programs. I'm not that fussy, I just need them to be comfortable and convenient to use. I must have big ears, because the cups are just a bit too small. The Bluetooth connection works very well with my Bluetooth enabled Samsung UHD TV set. As soon as I turn the headphones on, the TV switches from its built-in speakers to the headphones. Charging the lithium battery is not as convenient as I'd like, because it will only charge when connected to a computer. I'd prefer to charge it using a charging module.

Sound is awful - please read online reviews
Never reviewed before, but had to as this product was so bad! Most reviewers comment that the sound is good, and upon first listening, the bass is striking and impressive. Then you notice the appalling lack of mid range; instruments fade, and even go missing from music you know well, strong vocals become weak and insipid, even with boost off! These headphones lose so much from a recording they are frankly not fit for purpose. Please check out online reviews (just Google the model) before buying

Just buy them, you won't regret it.
Pros: Sound quality is good even at range, bass is meaty but not overpowering. Sturdy build quality, yet light weight. Well padded, comfortable to wear over glasses. Don't fall off easily - perfect for the gym. Pairs with iirc up to 8 devices before you'll need to re-pair. Good battery life. Onboard volume and media controls. Cons: The volume doesn't go as loud as I'd sometimes like. Media controls are backwards, somewhat unintuitive to me. Annoying informational announcements.

Good headphones
The headphones are good. Easy to pair with a phone, easy to understand and they are pretty durable. The headphone cups are made out of leather, but they don't hold much sweat which is good. The battery lasts for a long time. On med - high volume with the bass effect you'll get around 16-20 hours of use. If the battery runs out then you do have a normal headphone jack wire which you can use to use the headphones like regular ones. However when doing this you lose all functionality.

Great for bassheads
Pros Fantastic bass delivery thanks to extra bass button and slider on app. Recommend this if you listen to bass heavy music. Comfy fit, be aware they are over-ear not on-ear as advertised. Good battery life, lasted me 5/6 days of continuous use Good noise cancelling ability. Cons: They don't fold up so difficult to store. They get sweaty when hot/exercising but you expect this with over-ear headphones Overall great quality for price. Great cheap headphones for bassheads.

bassheads dream
bass is very deep, very soft, very clean and extremely low, and no rattles even at max volume.Skullcandy crusher bass sounds plastiky and harsh,don't play very low notes like cheap low power car subwoofers.Some say there is too much bass,but if you like you can turn bass down to -10 using sony app.They are comfortable to me and i cannot see them when i wear them.I definitely recommend those headphones to bass lovers and recommend to others to, just turn bass down.

Just epic. Buy now, regret never!
Every time I have repurchased earphones it's because of a damaged wire. Decided to go wireless and no regrets at all. Sturdy design earcups aren't fully rotatable but that's not a problem. Extra bass is extremely punchy and works best with officially licensed audio in order to play at full volume without distortion. Battery life is spectacular. Metallic coat does not scratch as easily as expected. Might consider getting a red pair. I am profoundly fond of these.

Excellent sound
Can't fault these headphones. The sound quality is superb, with or without the "extra bass" that is available at the press of a button. So easy to pair with both my phone and my laptop. Once paired, when you switch on the power a voice prompt in the headphones announces "Power On" and then "Bluetooth Connected", then it's music all the way until the battery needs recharging several hours later. They fit *around* your ears, helping to eliminate extraneous noise.

Great sounding headphones
These headphones were bought for my gaming PC, I had no problems connecting via Bluetooth to my computer and with the 20 hours battery life I can enjoy more time listening to my favourite games and music. You can use these for any mobile phone too and the added functions forward and rewind tracks on my pc and the range covers my whole house. The extra bass function really brings out a truly rich experience, really happy I bought these headphones.

Good value for the money
The padding is comfortable and not likely to ever wear out, the headset feels very sturdy as a whole and clamp force isn't too tight at all, infact its quite light on the head. Sound quality is obviously bass heavy but it doesn't drown out the highs and mids too much (with its Bass Effect off). Battery life is roughly 30-32 hours. Due to the sheer size of the headset I wouldn't recommend going outside with them. Overall a great investment.

Increble sonido
Me encant la calidad de sonido. Yo los estoy utilizando en mi TV oled 4K y se me hizo simplemente maravilloso. No tienes ni que presionar el botn para los extra bajos, tiene excelente reproduccin de bass tones. Es importante mencionar que no es necesario cargar la pila interna en una lap top, cualquier USB de 4 amps o ms, trabaja a la perfeccin. Adems puedes contestar tu telfono desde tus audfonos, viendo la TV. Me encantaron ?

Love This Headphone
First, I am extremely picky person and have lots of expectation especially concerning music and sound. Great sound(treble and bass) and fits very comfortable. If you like bass like I do, this headphone delivers for sure. Guaranteed! Also, for the price and quality sound, no headphone on the market can compete with this. I listened to MANY other headphone competitors and nothing delivered like this Sony. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic Product!
Great set of headphones delivering a really punchy bass when the bass effect is switched on. Only one very minor setback is the microphone. You have to speak fairly loudly to be heard clearly due to it being at the side of your head, but if you're looking to just listen to music and not use it for phone calls, it's a great device to buy. Battery life when charged is fairly long too. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Great headphones for its price
This headphones is awesome. You can really feel the bass even when the bass boost is off. It's suitable for songs that have strong bass feel. However, the sound it makes for rock/heavy metal is a bit mediocre. Another strong point of this headphones is it's really convenient to be worn for a long time. It also comes with an audio cable, so you don't have to use bluetooth all the time or when you run out of battery.

Great sound, but heavy
For the price, they do sound great (could be louder), great battery, people next to me can't hear any noise which is great for office environment and it's easy to connect to Android devices with NFC, just tap and you're done, this does not work with iPhone, tried on a iPhone XS. The only negative is the weight, after an hour of wearing them, my neck starts to hurt, other than that, easy to recommend.

Great Over Ear Headphones
Brought these for the gym and very happy with them. They have their own dedicated skip/play buttons instead of multi pressing the volume that doesn’t always work on other headphones. Lets you know what charge is left which a lot of Bluetooth kit doesn’t so you don’t run out of juice mid workout. Could be a tighter fit but i think I have a weird shaped head lol and I don’t do cardio in them.

Love these Headphones
I love bass so these are outstanding headphones. Great sound, bass, lows and mids, and battery life. I can't listen to any other headphones after these. I listen to them all day at work at my IT job and they are super comfortable and don't need noise canceling as they go over my ears. If you get them under hundred bucks like I did its a steal. Don't look at anything else, these are the best.

Great headphones
What a great sound from these headphones, rich, powerful, deep bass - these will want you using them more and more. great sound. Compared to the ATH-M50X you cant really compare the two because they are both different headphone used for different purposes. The Sony's are great for home use and give you extra thump, the ATH-M50X are studio monitor headphones and give you a more leveled sound

Useless headphones
I bought these Sony Bluetooth headphones so that I could listen to music from my Sony Bluetooth hi fi system but could not "pair" them. Sony customer service eventually told me that the output mentioned in the hi fi manual is not really an output and I have wasted my money as the items are not compatible. I am very disappointed with Sony - they have been most unhelpful and unsympathetic.

Stylish, top quality and comfortable..
Bought these wireless headphones for my 16 year old super fussy niece who oozes style. She absolutely loved them. Really comfortable, excellent quality and look so trendy too. She uses them all the time! A truly remarkable product. Argos service highly recommended. Product was exactly as described and packaging was of high standard. Thank you Navi Leeds

Wonderful
I’d like to start of by saying that these headphones are sooo good that my brother tried to take them from me. I initially purchased them to use at the gym, the fact that it has the bass option makes them even better. I tried to see if Very had them but they only had the cheaper version and didn’t have it in the colour that I wanted. The price was decent.

Looks fantastic and the sound is brilliant!
Worth the money spent. Recommended to so many people already. Loving the clarity both on Telephone calls and when playing music. The optional Bass boost is also great. Battery time is also a big bonus. Headphones even switch off it doesn't have a bluetooth signal/connection after a short period of time.... Totally Fab.

Excellent quality
Astounding sound quality, both bluetooth and cable. Setting up is easy. The bass has to be heard to be believed, very clear and not muddy like others. Expect the same excellent quality from Android phone or a HiFi system. After listening to these I threw out all other headphones in the house as they came nowhere near.
