Comfort

Pros:

  • "The sounds is great, super comfortable to wear too!"
  • "It's not tight but pretty secure on my head and as someone with a small frame and smallhead, this makes me very happy."
  • "They are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time (very important in my opinion) and the sound quality is respectable."
  • "Fits snugly over your ear and is very comfortable even during long periods."
  • "These are pretty amazing. Comfortable, don't hurt and aren't tight."
  • "Also very comfortable on your head."
  • "They fit comfortably on my head, the material doesn’t feel cheap which is amazing considering the price."

Cons:

  • "The only thing is that your ears will get sore after 3+ hours of constant wear."
  • "They only hurt my ears over long durations of wear (6+ hours)."
  • "After about 6 hours they start to get uncomfortable on my ears."
  • "The headphones are super snug, and if you’ve got a normal to large sized head, they will hurt your ears guaranteed."
  • "After listening to music for a while, it felt like my ears were going to fall off."
  • "But what I don’t like is that after a while they hurt my ears because they push on my glasses."
  • "The hard plastic head band is not the most comfy while in use and can become downright painful after an hour or so."

Sound Quality

Pros:

  • "No muffling/dampening-- crystal clear voice."
  • "The sound quality is mighty good and if you have the headphones over your ears properly, the sound won't leak at all really unless you're cranking the volume to 100."
  • "The tones in the bass are handled especially well."
  • "I can hear ever detail in the music."
  • "The sound is great."
  • "The sound quality is typical Sony, rich and full like a wired headphone."
  • "The sound quality is pretty great."

Cons:

  • "The noise cancellation does not exist, sometimes it sounds like background noise is exasperated somehow."
  • "Additionally, in this mode, the audio quality on a call from the other end takes a serious hit."
  • "These headphones were remotely decent at were noise cancelling."
  • "If you’re looking for something to fully cancel out noise, these are not it."
  • "Audio quality is good, but not as nice as a pair of 'real' headphones."
  • "The sound quality is lacking; I mean, they sound like headphones, but if you're looking to distinguish what is what in between the instruments, this is NOT for you."
  • "There is not enough bass in these headphones."

Build Quality

Pros:

  • "The durability is awesome."
  • "They seem durable and comfortable with simple obvious controls."
  • "They’ve survived through several rough handling and work just as good as they did when I first got them."
  • "Although I heard the cringe inducing sound of plastic flexing under too much weight, they did not get damaged at all."
  • "Had this headphone for 4 months and dropped it on concrete multiple times during workouts and it still works fine."
  • "Keep them out of water and they'll be your friend for a long time."
  • "They have so far shown themselves to handle well on multiple flights per month since purchase."

Cons:

  • "When I took them out of the box immediately I was disappointed at how flimsy/cheap they felt."
  • "Cheap, flimsy. Waste of time."
  • "They're made out of cheap plastic, the hinges started squeaking after 5 months, the earmuffs began to fall apart after 7 months of being lightly used."
  • "The plastic feels flimsy but at least is light."
  • "They feel flimsy and cheaply made."
  • "They are plastic and not very durable."
  • "These unfortunately are no good. They seem to be made cheaply- EVERY outside noise reverberates within the headphones."

Battery Life

Pros:

  • "I listen to music almost all day and the battery life is impressive. I can go a whole week without recharging."
  • "The battery life is great! I can go all day, sometimes two without charging."
  • "Also the battery life is better than my AirPod pros. The battery normally lasts me well over a week before needing charged."
  • "The battery life on these things is like nothing I've ever experienced, I've used them daily for months and they're still at 50%."
  • "Battery life seems to be forever."
  • "The battery life is incredible. I'm often astounded at how long the battery lasts. Weeks!!"
  • "Battery life is awesome: I charged these on Monday, used them everyday from 7am - 6pm and they kept a full battery the entire week or until Friday (today)."

Cons:

  • "Only complaint is that they stay connected to my MacBook even when the MacBook is sleeping and won't automatically turn off - even two days later - draining the battery."
  • "The battery last for days without charging and still fully charged!!"
  • "Finally, while the battery life on these is bonkers (I've so far gone a month without charging), when you do charge you can't use them."
  • "Headphones were ok for about three months...after that it started to drop the connection for no reason at all. The battery was ok for a short while until gradually started to run out of power."
  • "Didn't charge at all in 5 hrs."
  • "Now the power button is stuck and now nothing works, just a blue flashing light."
  • "The battery can last 5 - 7 days with the headphones on if no music is playing."

Additional Features

Pros:

  • "Simple three button operation, never an issue powering up or connecting."
  • "These sound just as good as $300 beats for a tenth the price."
  • "One charge lasts a long time ( It has a feature that when you turn it on, it speaks a battery status - very handy)."
  • "You just have to hold the button down for a few seconds and an AI voice tells you what the headphones are doing."
  • "The charge lasts so long & I used them all the time when I'm exercising or running around my house - Worth it!"

Cons:

  • "The mic on these is very sensitive and are prone to clipping very easily."
  • "The second pair had bluetooth issues from the start."
  • "Taking calls with these is a nightmare."
  • "The other day it randomly disconnected when I was in a discord call."
  • "I just wish they could connect to multiple devices!"
  • "The buttons for volume/power are so inconveniently placed that I end up blasting my ears more often than skipping a song."
  • "The microphone is quite sensitive, everything hears perfect, but during a call people still telling to go to a quiet place to avoid noises..."
