When I first purchased my headphones, I struggled at first to control the volume and backwards and forward direction features, which are the basic expectations around control operability. I was initially frustrated and considered returning the headphones, but I managed to work out that you simply stroke upwards/downwards for volume control. Stroke up or down and keep your finger pressed to achieve your desired volume. Stroke left or right to skip forward/backward. The feature where you cover the earpiece with your hand when having a conversation with someone in the room is clever because the music lowers and the headphones allow the outside in. You can also tap to start and stop your music listening or movie watching. When the headphones detect that they're not on your head, it pauses media content. Clever. All functionality is on the right-hand side earpiece. The quality of the material on the earpiece is durable, unlike my old Beats headphones which were poor quality and looked tatty, which is a pity because they sounded good. Sony has ticked all my expectations when it comes to producing quality headphones which use intelligent technology. Great value for money!

Item was received today, so first impressions only. Very comfortable head-fitting, firm enough at least for sedentary use. Very soft earpad, so fitted easily over my spectacles, and over my behind-the-ear hearing aids. Easy pairing with Samsung tablet Galaxy Tab A8 running Android version 14. The sound (classical, and pop/folk) was fantastic, but bear in mind that I am elderly with limited sound frequency range. I didn't notice any sound lag when watching videos, with my tablet a few feet away.

Great sound and very good noise cancelling. My only niggle would be around build quality that falls short of some of the competition, but for the price I don’t think they can be bettered.

I was torn on whether invest on these headphones or stick to cheaper ones, however I am glad I decided to go for these ones. The set up on my devices was easy and without fuss, the noise cancellation is great, they are quite comfortable around the ears however if you have not worn headphones for a long time like me, it might hurt your head, it’s a bit uncomfortable but definitely not unbearable. Highly recommend them.

Great sound canceling head phones, on the train silence, great how they adapt from knowing when I'm on a train to when I get off the train!! Brilliant purchase

My boyfriend cannot be without these headphones. Great service from Sony too.
