Next level headphones
Absolutely stunning headphones! The noise cancelling is on another level to my Sony 710s, whilst maintaining a crisp, rich sound quality. The new features (touch controls, conversation mode, etc) take a little getting used to, but are amazing once you do.

honest review
i switched from airpod 3 to these and the sound wuality is amazing however not to say the noice cancelling is bad but from what everyone was saying i would expect to hear nothing when i turned it on but its still every good.

An absolutely incredible pair of headphones; the b
These are hands-down the best headphones I have ever bought. I am a musician and music producer, so would say I have a sensitive ear to sound quality. The bass is superbly clean, and the trebles are so crisp, it’s like sitting in a room watching a live performance of the artist. The touch screen functions are incredible - the entirety of the right flat side is a touch board! Volume, skipping a track, and more. I love the speak-to-chat function, where your music stops playing momentarily if you are talking, then has a gradual fade when you stop talking in so it doesn’t jolt you. The Sound Connect App allows you to change the EQ in many different ways! So great. Call quality is very crisp; there is just the slightest static to the receiving end. The build and comfort is phenomenal - so soft, cushy, and secure. I got the Midnight Blue, and it looks like a designer pair of headphones! In love. Thank you so much, Sony!

Fragile
After buying them I’ve read reviews telling me that they’re very fragile and may break with no chance of replacement or refund

Too Fragile - Design Fault
Very poor experience. These headphones are so fragile that if they aren’t kept in the case at all times when not in use, they can easily break. When I contacted Argos/Sony, they were completely unhelpful. I was required to pay to have the headphones assessed and then pay an excessive repair fee. After just two months of ownership, the product is now unusable. Online research shows many customers have experienced the same issue, indicating a clear design fault. Shame on Sony for selling such poorly designed products.

Best headphones I’ve ever had. Would absolutely recommend to anyone. Worth the money.
