    Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones WH1000XM2: Over Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Microphone - Hi Res Audio and Active Sound Cancellation - Foldable On Ear Headphones with Travel Case - Gold

    • A little heavy but still comfortableHas many smart features
    • Unfortunately, a few days ago, the feature no longer work
    • The Bose are more comfortable to me, I like physical buttons and dont need gimmicky features that the Sonys have
    • There are many other wonderful features of the touch surface.
    • I just have to set on the phone and the headphone do it automatically, I love this feature
    • The mic input is a solid feature, but for some reason the cable that comes with - a grounded 1/8" cable - has a sticker on it that states there is a right/wrong direction to the cable
    • Clear quality, comfortable, and drown out the noise well - love the feature where you can hold your right hand up to hear what's going on around you
    • (there's no way to increase the volume of the ambient noise, as far as I can tell), and it's not quite the same as not wearing the headphones, but it's an impressive feature that I didn't expect to use as much as I have
    • The gesture controls are easy to use and the listening feature is extremely convenient
    • The best feature is probably how you can change your noise cancellation in 20 levels and whether you want a focus on voice, not only that, you can have it automatically adjust depending on what you are doing
    • Within 2 months of purchasing the product with minor use of the headphones the head band cracked on both ends where the speaker is with no effort at all thus causing the effectiveness of the noise cancelling feature to be heavily reduced
    • One thing to be careful about is having them on while on flight takeoff and landing, for some reason the noise canceling feature made me feel slightly nauseous
    • Amazing NC, great sound quality, and fantastic features
    • Some said this one didn't beat the Bose QC35 and the fancy features were gimmicks
    • Every other feature became unimportant to me after hearing the sound and feeling the comfort
    • The-not-so-useful-features: You CANT adjust ANYTHING while in AptX mode, meaning no EQ and no preferred virtual soundstage
    • There is even a feature to make things louder around you and it refuses to block out voices listing it as a feature and improvement.
    • Feature rich, lightweight, comfortable with great sound
    • I love the feature to turn noise cancelling feature off and ambient sound on
    • Noise cancelling works well and has nice features
    • Good sound quality and noise cancelling features.
    • This headphones would definitely be my choice for trips with its excellent noise cancellation features.
    • Great earphones with cool features!!
    • Pair that with mind-blowing sound quality, great tech features
    • I have Bose in-ear headphones and love the noise cancelling feature.
    • But in an office setting this feature would work well
    • It defeats the purpose of wireless!On the cool side, it has a cool app to set the NC level and a couple more cool features
    • The features are really cool, especially the pass through voice.
    • These headphones have other nice features, such as noise pass through if you cup your hand on the ear piece.
    • and I really like the feature to automatically adjust noise cancellation based on a few activities
    • Two terrific features as far as gestures are concerned
    • The useful features: Pressure optimization - you'll get to optimize the headphone's pressure based on your change of wear style and environment (e.g. haircut), and see the adaptive noise-canceling profiles
    • BUT I would never give up the amazing feature of cupping the ear to hear people talk
    • the bose are more comfortable but the Sony aren't bad either love the features on the
    • The touch sensor controls are a cool feature too and keep these headphones very slick looking (though it does take a little practice to learn where to touch for different controls).My XB950B1 headphones (blue ones) are larger and lack the noise cancelling feature, though they do a decent job blocking sound
    • Love the Quick Attention feature, placing your hand over the touch panel quiets the music and pipes in ambient sound so you can quickly hear what's going on around you
    • The other cool feature through the app is that you can make the song sound like you're listening to it in a concert venue whether it is outside or inside, you can make it sound like you are in a concert hall.
    • , I charge it every other day to be safe.-Gesture-controls are a cool feature, but I would like them to be only triggered by skin, literally an material can be used as a gesture
    • so my favorite feature is defiantly the optimizer function.
    • Either way, I was stoked to see them arrive, as they have amazing noice-cancellation features
    • The noise cancelling works great and blocks out lots of airplane engine noise and lets you enjoy your music, I really love the features where you can change tracks or turn up the volume with a single swipe of your finger and also the fact that you can listen to someone talk to you by simply covering the right side with your hand
    • The touch sensor on the right ear is a nice feature, using the swiping functions to adjust music tracks and volume.
    • Perfect noise cancellation, perfect features, adorable look,
    • The other cool feature is that they are Bluetooth, and we all know how much we hate cords, but if your headphones happen to die, which they shouldn’t since they have a 70 hour battery life time you can plug in the cord and listen to them the traditional way
    • The right side has a neat feature to press and answer your incoming phone calls and both sides have a mic built in so you can talk to whomever calls you
    • The tactile interface on the right earpad works really well: it's not a gimmick (that was my initial fear), but a useful feature that wont make you miss the presence of physical buttons
    • Only missing feature is that it would pause the music when the headphones are removed.
    • The auto-changing ambient mode (turns on ambient mode while walking and turns ambient mode off when stationary) is perhaps the best feature.
    • All features work fine on their own (without the app).== Touch controls work better than I expected.
    • over the ear noise cancellation and features are very good, and got a very good deal on Amazon
    • A very annoying feature of these headphones is that they have to be connected, either with Bluetooth or wired, for the NC to work
    • The tactile interface on the right earpad works really well: it's not a gimmick (that was my initial fear), but a useful feature that wont make you miss the presence of physical buttons
    • Great features, useful app, nice build quality
    • What a great sound and features
    • Touchpad: this is such a cool feature
    • The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because I do not like the touch feature to adjust the volume or to skip
    • The features are incredible
    • Also, the noise cancelling feature just shuts off if you aren't connected to anything, very annoying because I'm not always wanting to connect to music
    • It's a stupid feature and it gets in the way
    • Perfect noise cancellation, perfect features, adorable look,
    • The Sony's feel great after you break them in after about a week and the sound quality is higher, as well as having more features on the headphones
    • (this is not practical when you are using the headphones in bed, to help you sleep)This is such a stupid feature, that could so easily have been fixedIt is a deal breaker, if you just want a pair of headphones for noise cancelling
    • It has an adaptive noise canceling feature that's good, but it audibly alerts you when it changes.
    • If you are looking for the best features and amazing Noise Cancelling, the Sony 1000xm2's are the way to go!
    • It's mindboggling to think Sony techs went to all the trouble to create modes of sound to reduce from airplanes, bus/train stations, etc but can't incorporate a simple useful feature like noise cancelling on - music off
    • They are comfortable, good weight, biuld quality, nice features with the microphone on the touch pad
    • I also tried the noise cancelling feature by playing some loud simulated airplane cabin noises on my computer while playing music on the headphones
    • I love the feature that temporarily dims your music and boosts ambient noise
    • This is a very expensive headphone and not having this feature is nonsense for me
    • I might have not found this feature in my new Sonys yet, but all I know when you leave them with amp turned on, they can lay down like that for a half a day eating your battery to the last drop unless you unplug the cable
    • The touch sensor controls are a cool feature too and keep these headphones very slick looking (though it does take a little practice to learn where to touch for different controls).My XB950B1 headphones (blue ones) are larger and lack the noise cancelling feature, though they do a decent job blocking sound
    • That is not a desirable feature, and I have yet to figure out how to turn that off.
    • Fast delivery and great quality sound and features
    • The Bluetooth feature makes these headphones adaptable to a wide variety of listening conditions and the noise cancelling features make them ideal for airplane travel
    • Two terrific features as far as gestures are concerned
    • Really nice features
    • These are amazing headphones with awesome features, and even better sound quality (yes the bass is
    • The touch gestures work well and are very easy to use, a great feature I wish I had on other headphones
    • For those who simply want to use the noise cancelling functions without listening to music or watching a movie, this feature is a real drawback.
    • Anyway, I love these, I dont regret using it everyday, give it 5 stars all day, except that one stupid auto feature that failed me miserably.
    • My next two favorite features: Quick charge gives you over an hour of time on only 10 minutes of charge
    • Obviously for an entire conversation I'd just pause them and take them off, but just being able to hear something quickly and let go and go back to action to me is an awesome feature.
    • I have come to love this feature so much that I would use it
    • However, Sony has better features and both sounds great.
    • but I feel the Sony with all of its available features and adjustable
    • so many times I damn really HATE that feature.
    • I liked the features of the headphones over the other brand
    • I loved the sound clarity, battery life and noice cancelling feature
    • Some said this one didn't beat the Bose QC35 and the fancy features were gimmicks
    • I enjoy the app and the features
    • Clear quality, comfortable, and drown out the noise well - love the feature where you can hold your right hand up to hear what's going on around you
    • The feature of covering the right ear to hear instructions and conversation is great.
    • So it is probably not the headphones but my phone; just be aware that this feature might not work well with some phones.
    • They are packed with great features including a touch sensitive controller on the right outer ear casing that lets you play, pause, raise/lower volume, activate voice command (Google / Siri), along with an innovative feature that allows you to hear what's around you by placing your hand on the right casing which stops noise cancellation and activates the external microphone
    • The Sony competitor doesn't have the ability to skip tracks and that is an important feature for me.
    • Fortunately these are mostly useless features, so I just leave the connection in LDAC.You can't disable the gesture feature on the right can, which can be irritating
    • Great noise canceling on the plane, and I love the features so much
    • The user interface is feature rich and easier to utilize than the Bose, but the software feature is, again, lacking quality.
    • Instead, you have to charge these through your computer which is funny for something that stresses portability as a key feature.
    • Sony's headphone app unlocks some additional features for these, like toggling on and off adaptive sound control (which figures out what you are doing and optimizes the sound cancellation/ambient noise settings)
    • This is a very expensive headphone and not having this feature is nonsense for me
    • There are also some, shall we call them, nifty features, or settings with noise canceling that allow the device to pick up noise and kind of custom counter it
    • Sony product people were overconfident in their design and didn't include a way to disable this feature, making this a fundamentally flawed product.
    • Yes there are more features than the Bose, but this headset fails as premium headphones and that's its primary purpose
    • Worst Feature:Getting stuck in the “Sony / Headphone Connect” page of the App because I forgot to disconnect from the tablet when switching back to the iPhone
    • The most annoying feature is the touch sensitive switch.
    • Being able to cup the right ear to turn off the head phones and hear someone is really great feature, being able to customize the noise canceling to filter out or allow voices and if you like automatically adjust based on your movement pretty cool
    • Another incredibly useful feature only found on Sony’s WH-1000XM2 is the ability to “muffle” the audio by placing your hand over the right ear cup.
    • Another very welcome feature is how easy and intuitive these are to control with various finger movements on the cover of the right ear cup
    • Best Feature
    • Good features
    • I love the touch features on these headphones and I'm waiting for the software update for Google Assistant
    • The Google Assistant is a handy feature and is seamless, long hold on the right earcup activates Google assistant and listens to my orders (make phonecalls, leave texts, play music, get news among others)
    • And, extra features are available with Apple devices via phone app or via the SBC codec on Android.
    • The iOS features on the app are amazing as well!
    • For one, personally, I don't like the touch command features
    • This feature works with phone conversations, too.5 - Battery life.6 - Universal micro USB charger
    • For me, the sound quality, the features and noise canceling won the day for me.
    • I was surprised at the touch sensitive ear cups that allow you to control the music and volume, and also let you disable the noise cancelling in the event someone asks you a question (which will ALWAYS happen when you are listening to something, lol), very cool feature
    • I have yet to see if the hands free options for noise control when standing, walking, in motion, and running {running is not an option for this headset} works when you're connected to a device without GPS, but I'm sure you will lose this feature on a device without GPS (like my kindle fire)
    • But Sony's feature of pausing the ANC if you hold your hand on the right earphone won the day for me.
    • Other neat features are the ability to control the headset using 'gestures' - tap to pause, swipe to change volume or advance tracks, and cup to enhance conversation.
    • Very good noise cancelling when listening to music or watching videos.2) Great features like mute, ANC sensitivity, app, and gesture controls.3
    • The sound quality is impressive, the features really works well and do what they promise
    • It's too bad because the noise-cancelling feature was awesome, but why house it in such cheap plastic design?
    • The noise cancelling feature works like magic.
    • Fortunately these are mostly useless features, so I just leave the connection in LDAC.You can't disable the gesture feature on the right can, which can be irritating
    • When I call someone, the noise cancellation seems to switch to some other mode that sounds different from any of the modes used for music.== New features, such as touch controls and app integration, are neat.
    • Related to this issue, some features in the application are only available when the phones are connected using SBC, which means if you want the equalizer, sound stage, or sound location features, you need to sacrifice the overall quality
    • Overall, super impressed with the sound quality and the noise cancelling features
    • This feature is available with iphones and androids, but not a PC.
    • AND NOISE CANCELLING (with the small exception of the WH1000XM2 having some NC features on the Sony app)
    • Genuinely a step up from the previous generation and different, but as good as, Bose of comparable price
    • Small gripes like long term comfort-ability, they lack as long I am concerned since I have large ears which stick
    • The noise reduction with Sony was nearly as good as with using hearing protection ear plugs
    • (it's predecessor) headbands used to crack a
    • In future generations, I would obviously like to see even better audio quality and noise canceling (as hard as that may be) as well as an environment where it feels like my ears aren't being dipped in molten lava after just an hour or two (exaggeration, but they do get really hot for real)
    • Hopefully that get worked out but for the most part does not bother me as I have a different wireless headset for my
    • The bluetooth is almost useless... it skips every 3 or 4 seconds, which is exceedingly annoying, and the sound quality isn't as good as when you connect a cable even when it isn't skipping.
    • n’t look like a freak!The material are very good
    • Noise canceling works good but fit very loosely on head, you cannot move abruptly when wearing or they fall off, wish they fit tighter,also sound quality is not so great for a large headset like these, wish they were louder,don’t recommend.
