It cant be worse! A waste of money.

I do not recommend anyone to buy these! It is better to buy the first ones (wi-1000x), they are much better in everything. Or immediately, take the full-size WH-1000xm3 Right away, if your ears do not hurt and you are not afraid to catch a cold in winter, immediately removing your ears that are sweaty from the heat (I have such). I'm afraid, because I have to meet with customers on the street sometimes and still It's uncomfortable to turn on transparency when communicating. In short, I haven’t…

Pros
  • USB type c. ALL! I read all the reviews about these headphones, everything and everything! The sound is really good, no issues, but not low. Highs are good, mids are a bit small and low frequencies are not enough at all. The interlocutor began to hear a little better than at first.
Cons
  • 1). As I opened the headphones and connected to the phone, they immediately requested ates (with the first ones). I immediately ated it, and since I don’t know what happened before the ate, but after the ate (in these 10 days) I realized that in order to achieve the perfect sound, the sound needs to be reduced from the highest high (in headphones) by six clicks ( buttons) below "DOWN". In order to already listen to a perfectly clear sound and without any automatic reductions, by the headphones themselves, the maximum high and low, not to mention the average ones (which are almost non-existent anyway). 2). The first ones I used (almost 2 years) had much more convenient buttons! Here you have to strain, get distracted along the way, doge and sometimes stop so as not to pull the phone out of your pocket, feel it with high quality, it’s very sensitive, you just need to have a feeling like a visually impaired ((+( And most importantly, the interlocutor will fully hear how you will search by touch and with the noises that you will hold your finger (for example, as usual, the phone itself accidentally dials the subscriber in his pocket and the person listens to how he walks with the phone in his pocket). Well, for example, a few clicks on the volume down, volume up, and so on, then find the middle button, and finally click on it ((( It's just a disaster, Sony, you freaks! This, Steve Jobs would not be proud of you. I returned it back, it started to crack (you can see it in the photo), it was not the main reason, except for everything that I have already written for you here. When you stand at a bus stop by the road and from the cars, the noise is so audible that it’s as if someone is working as a grinder next to you. All interlocutors say so.

I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

I live in Hong Kong, but it so happened that I bought this model in St. Petersburg in the official Sony store right before the start of quarantine. I needed a b / n headset with good sound for frequent telephone conversations, including on trips and flights, with good sound and noise reduction. For a long time I chose among different ones and decided on this one, because. She answered all the necessary requirements for me. I was very happy with the purchase, but it was EXTREMELY unreasonable…

Pros
  • high-quality assembly, nice material, comfortable on the neck, good sound for wireless, fast synchronization with devices, good software settings, completeness.
Cons
  • they don’t hold well and the ears get tired quickly, heavy, uncomfortable shape, poor-quality noise reduction, sometimes BT falls off, lack of normal SONY support (see comment).

A good product, but having its own defects.

Well, so-so on trifles, the LDAC codec disables their much-praised DSEE HX technology. The audio delay is still present despite the fact that the transmitting and receiving device has BT 5.0 version I will edit this review and rating if things go better or worse. : Senkh Momentum's ear cushion fit perfectly (it is shorter and has a jumper to limit the waste (!) from the ears falling on the sound guide mesh)

Pros
  • I find the "shaft" form factor to be very convenient. Excellent sound quality, , but only via BT, something is wrong with the sound, as if the headphones lose 50‰ of quality. Good reception range (breaks through 3 walls at home) Google Assistant is a pretty useful thing if you learn commands, for example, you learned how to rewind recordings of broadcasts by brute force and here's how to do it "REWIND N minutes forward" - rewinds N minutes BACK if there is a reserve. Scroll forward N minutes - rewinds forward as it should.
Cons
  • But there is a whole cart of shortcomings, which has not been corrected since the previous generation, and even somewhere they made it even worse. 1. (Here I wrote about the fact that discharged headphones do not work on a cord, and I was wrong), make it a rule to carry an OTG cord with you, so that in case of a sudden discharge you can "light" them in 10-15 minutes of a smoke break from power supply of the USB connector of the phone, you can really listen to music for another hour and a half. 2. Almost all earphones of this type have vibration for notifications, but these do not 3. When connected via a cord, the headphones lose their headset properties. But I hope that this will be fixed (yeah how) 4. Ears quickly get tired and start to hurt, and also itch. I hope this is temporary. The reason is banal, the headphones do not let air through 5. An inconvenient remote control, why was it taken out separately on a wire at all? 6. With all the shortcomings, they put up an insane price tag. These headphones are priced at 10k.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

For sound quality and operating time, shortcomings are forgiven. When you connect the cord, the sound is not worse, and if the codec is not very good, then the noise goes away. Pros below: The sound is strong, transparent, excellent detail. It's very hard to stop listening. Charging is enough for almost the whole day. With its cons: The remote control is very crooked and it is not needed on the wire, it is not very convenient. Here on the 510 he is on the collar, very convenient, you press with

My money wasted, product is terrible.

And now the dealer is brainwashing himself to buy headphones for $500 and out a problem that is not solved so-so pleasure. Cheap jBl works like clockwork for 2 years for both my wife and me, so it's worth considering

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

Some pros: Wonderful sound. Convenient form factor. Noise reduction Battery. The presence of a mini-jack. Design Has cons: Intrachannel ear pads. (ears hurt) The control unit sometimes unpleasantly climbs into the face.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

I thought I would take these, and then the full-size XM4, but I looked around and realized that these were enough for me, the sound insulation was on top. Long live Sony!

Pros
  • Noise isolation, materials, decent sound, you will not lose the earphone due to the design)
Cons
  • Nozzles are included in a pair of each size, in case of loss of one nozzle, fig where you can find them separately. Foamed (Triple Comfort) have to look for / buy with bush ears .

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

Headphones, of course, amaze with the sound quality, and if you also have a high-quality playback source (for example, a top-end smartphone), then it is simply impossible to stop yourself from listening to music - it is mesmerizing. Pros below: Excellent sound and there is a succession of sound from Sony (there are other Sony headphones and the sound is similar), but of course it is much better. Different cons: Remote control on the wire - it's not convenient! You can’t find this remote control

I am dissatisfied with the product, there are no positive qualities.

I bought these headphones in mVideo, as the first generation wi-1000x headphones failed. When listening immediately on the first track, the headphones gave out slag. At first, I did not understand what was the matter, I thought it was in the ears themselves, but not everything is so banal. After digging into the settings, I found out that when noise reduction is turned on, extraneous noises, wheezing appear in the left ear of the earpiece, sometimes both ears hit with a rough spit of air. If…

Pros
  • Finally Bluetooth 5.0 USB connector fast charging Has a 3.5mm mini jack
Cons
  • Terrible noise cancellation short usb-c cable Useless software

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

I bought it as a summer alternative to the Sony WH-1000XM2, which I used all the time, but now in the heat both the ears under full-size headphones and the face under the mask are preying, so I chose the one that I had not tried yet from two evils. I compare. The form factor suits, they sat perfectly in the ears right with the pre-installed ear pads. As a headset - much more convenient. Your voice is not clogged with wind and ambient sounds, even with noise reduction turned on (WH has a…

Pros
  • Noise canceling, use as a headset
Cons
  • As long as everything suits

Revainrating 4 out of 5

My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

Chose B&W pi 4 and sony wi-1000xm2. The main priority for me is sound quality and ease of use, for my taste, the sound from Sony turned out to be many times juicier and brighter, so I chose them. I have been using it for about a month and this is what I can say about them: - The sound is great, especially instrumental music, the reinforcing element gives just incredible detail on the top and high mids. There is a lot of bass, but by adjusting the equalizer I removed it a little and got the…

Pros
  • • Good sound quality • Full day on one charge
Cons
  • • Bulky collar • Not friendly software • Mediocre noise reduction

The right product for me, there were no problems.

I took to replace the WI-1000X, which had faithfully plowed for 3 years (they began to give out nonsense in noise reduction mode). WI-1000XM2 is not as spectacular in terms of appearance, but gain in practicality due to less weight and a rubber rim. The former all the time strove to move to the side, these lie flat on the neck, plus you can twist it into a knot and put it in your pocket. I think the dispute about the remote control on the wire is pointless. What is on the wire, what is on the…

Pros
  • Comfort, sound.
Cons
  • "Frames should be richer"

Use them a lot more than I probably should

I have a pair of Skullcandy Crusher EVOs and really enjoy them. The haptic feedback for the bass is good for my loud music that I listen to. I've been a Skullcandy all along, but when I set these little Sonys to have in-app treble boost, I pick up even the tiniest of noises that my Skullcandy noise-candy banks don't pick up. It sounds like they are singing to you with you in the room. 360 Real Audio is kind of a useless gimmick since you can only use it in certain apps, so I don't even use it…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You can only hear them indoors in a dry room.

Do not buy these headphones, they do not withstand the slightest moisture and heat. Even in wet weather, they don't last long. And when it's hot outside, they lose their Bluetooth connection and you have to reset your headphones to allow them to pair. When I'm a little sweaty, everyone I talk to says I sound very distant or can't hear myself at all until I let them sit in my house for a few hours, after which they start working again. That's probably why Sony dropped the price by $100 to get…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Exchange option

lost potential. Disappointing design/fit and poor ANC.

Please don't waste your time and money! Read reviews and see common themes. I should have been careful. Rarely has so much potential been wasted. I bought the headset with high expectations and some caveats based on the reviews. crossed fingers Sent back after two days of use. The first and worst is that the headphones are difficult to keep in your ears. If it's not so bad that I couldn't fit any of the three sizes of earbuds in my ears (never had that problem), then the placement of the…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Listening to all my favorite music for the first time

Due to what is probably my baby's entropy process and the "fingers" he finds and moves around the house, I woke up one day and couldn't do my JBL LIVE find 300 headphones. Maybe one day they come out and I can do a direct comparison, but to be honest I've never liked how they fit, the touch controls or all that "true wireless" stuff. Finally, my worst nightmare about her came true. So about Sony. I wanted to go back to the active noise canceling neckband set and they were recommended to me by a
