Review: Great for the price - I bought these primarily for
studying so I can block out other noisy students in the library
and wear them for long amounts of time without my ears getting
sore. I also chose these because Sony seems to make good
headphones, and I really liked the design- they aren’t too huge
and bulky. PROs: Comfortable, I wear these for hours at a time in
the library. Of course every so often I take them off for 5
minutes when my ears get warm but that’s inevitable. Happy with
how comfortable they are because I also wear hijab, which means I
already have 2 layers of fabric over my ears which makes most
headphones so uncomfortable and painful to wear. The top band is
squishy so it doesn’t hurt your head much. The sound is lovely,
but I’m no expert or that fussed over sound so I don’t know how
it holds up against others. But I noticed a big difference with
my other headphones, the music sounds great and you can adjust
the settings from the app. The noise cancelling mode is pretty
good. Again I have no real point of comparison. It mostly blocks
background noise, not people’s voices. Voices become muted,
especially if it’s a crowd, but you can still hear people talking
around you which is a bit of a bummer. But they are great for
blocking other sounds- for example on the motorway, they totally
block out the sounds of the road and cars. When I take them off I
get shocked by how loud it is. This is great if you get
overstimulated. Sometimes I wear them without playing anything
just for some quiet. They block out some noise even without
turning them on. The app is good, you can adjust the noise
cancelling. NC mode sometimes gives me a headache after a while,
not sure why, so I often switch to ambient mode. Battery strength
is good. You should charge it every night if you’re going to use
it a lot though. The only times it’s ran out is when I haven’t
charged it in a few days despite heavy use. You could definitely
charge it fully once and use it non stop for a car and plane
journey- I’ve done that. Very light considering the size. They
aren’t heavy enough to hurt your head. Sometimes my scalp hurts
after a while but that would happen with any sustained pressure.
I just shift them forward or backwards and its fine. They’re
pretty secure, enough to run in, but not sure of they’re tight
enough to exercise at all angles with, you know moving your head
up and down. I think if they were any tighter they’d be
uncomfortable anyway so I don’t mind. They’re pretty sturdy, not
floppy lile my other smaller headphones from Sony. I got it in
white and I don’t regret it. They look very stylish. I hesitated
because in the picture it looks paper white, but it’s a bit more
muted in person, with hints of grey. CONs: Despite being
generally comfortable, there’s a really annoying piece of plastic
in the ear that pokes at my ear sometimes. I don’t know if it’s
because my ears/head are sort of big but it’s irritating
sometimes. I have to shift it around. They don’t fold up. If they
did they’d be so much easier to transport. As it is, I wear them
around my neck, as the ear pieces thankfully do twist around.
Still I think they’d be easier to take care of if they folded.
It’s sort of risky just putting them in your bag, unless you can
be bothered to carry them in a proper case which admittedly I
rarely do. I had to buy a separate case for around £14 so add
that to your tally. The buttons feel a bit cheap, they’re quite
clicky, not very soft. I don’t really care about that sort of
thing but I know some people do. OVERALL: I got these after a
long while of comparing different headphones. I settled on these
because of the price. I’m a uni student and this is the most I’m
willing to spend. It’s actually a little steep, especially since
I don’t listen to music that much. They’re mainly for studying
and travel. But because of the noise cancelling I end up using
them a lot. If they were any more expensive, I’d be too afraid to
use them as much as I do. Whilst they’re expensive for my range,
they are the cheapest of Sonys over ear headphones that are good.
And that also LOOK good. I’ll admit I value the aesthetics-
there’s other brands with similar headphones that probably
perform as well for less, but that look bulkier and uglier. These
look great. So I don’t regret this purchase!! I think it would be
a total waste if I bought the more expensive Sony headphones that
are more trendy right now, especially since I bought this myself.
If you’re a student looking for a solid pair of headphones but
can’t afford the popular ones, these are a great shout! I plan on
using them at least until I finish university, so 3 year’s
minimum. I’m getting my money’s worth. I also heard they use the
same tech as the Sony XM4/5 but don’t quote me on that- but I
think 90% of people would be very happy with the sound. I bought
these when they dropped and there we’re basically 0 reviews- I
took a leap and have no regrets!! They’d also make a great gift
for any teenager obsessed with their music lol. Update: it’s now
January 2024 and I rarely go anywhere without them! Still in
great shape and the noise cancelling is a god send. I get asked
about them all the time. And I’ve been shoving them my bag
unceremoniously for months and they’re still going strong Extra
Update: I’ve since got the airpods pro 2 which have amazing sound
quality. Now when I use these Sony headphones, the difference in
sound quality is unfortunately really obvious. But it’s one of
those things where if you don’t know how good it COULD sound, you
won’t miss it.
Review: Great over ear wireless headphones - Super comfy and
sound incredible. These sony wireless over ear headphones are
lightweight and sit comfortably over your ears, making listening
to music for a long period of time an enjoyable experience. There
is a little bit of noise bleed when your on max volume. The sound
is clear and crisp and the noise cancelling is perfect. The dusty
pink colour is really nice. Very easy to connect to your devices
and the app allows you to customise settings. Good value for
money. I also like they are not too bulking and can fit into a
compact case making them perfect for travelling. The side buttons
also make it very convenient when you want to change the song and
volume without getting your phone out. Really good quality and
highly recommend
