Terrible quality, disappointed with the purchase.

It is obvious and widely known that the manufacturer invests heavily in advertising (more than in the quality of production), respectively, because of the sticker with the name, the price is overstated by 1.5-2 times. The sound, without installing a mobile application with settings, chokes and flickers like all Sony, since the late 80s. After adjusting the sound in the application, it becomes more or less tolerable, they sit more or less comfortably on the head (they got caught on a low branch, fell on the asphalt, nothing was hurt, except for the appearance of a tiny scratch). Convenient to use. With all the effects turned on, the first two charges were enough for an honest 28-30 hours (after the first week of use, they began to discharge faster - about 16-24 hours). If, after a warning about the charge, turn off by 20%, then they no longer turn on.
-
Added:
% of the charge is removed not by the time of use, like with all normal devices, but by the number of inclusions (at least 10-20 minutes you use it, at least 2 hours, but it is removed every time by 10%, subtracted from 100% in increments of 10. The error is huge).

They do NOT justify their price, we pay for advertising.

Pros

1. Noise reduction, 2. Some material parts, 3. Some design features.

Cons

1. Inadequate price (the real price of this advertised "miracle" is no more than 3). 2. Disgusting sound: there is no sound detail, from the word "completely" - you can hear only a porridge from the mid frequencies, around 1KHz, like in a telephone receiver (thanks that it's not mono))), at 50-100Hz of the equalizer - zero reaction (unlike from most headphones of this type and price category). 3. Made for lefties. 4. During a conversation, a bunch of sensitive microphones pick up the noise of the street, and only the noise is heard to the interlocutor. 5. Thin and soft ear pads (will wear out quickly), the headband is weak. 6. In appearance, the design is flimsy. 7. Microphones / sensors are located in huge holes, on top, so that rain gets into them (after a little rain, the noise canceler spits and rattles disgustingly, it dried up in a day), and the charging socket is exactly below (it’s more convenient on the side). 8. Although the noise canceler copes with its functions conscientiously, it makes noise like an old vacuum cleaner, drowning out the sound, which is already disgusting. etc.
