The sound quality really surpasses the Bose product with similar or even better noise cancelling

Overall these do have a nice quality sound and perform well, haven’t had any issues with quality so far they have been super sturdy

These are really good quality when it comes to material, sound, and noise cancellation

Direct comparison to the Beats, Bose, the sound quality is preferred on the Sony as mentioned above, noise canceling very, very slight edge to the Sony, Bose and Sony are both well ahead of the Beats I own (4 year old model).

The sound quality is very good

Great quality sound - highly recommended

I also used them on a 15 hour flight to Hong Kong and could not be more pleased with how they blocked out all the background noise... and the sound quality is amazing!

My bose broke twice in a row, their quality is not great either, so I wanted to find an alternative but Sony is not it

The audio quality is also stellar

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

Ordered by accident, as I didn't realize it's more costly to buy on Amazon then to go to the store down the road, however it has terrific sound quality and when a bit of peace and quite is needed it does the trick

The sound quality is excellent - I noticed the difference when playing uncompressed audio versus my Bose headphones

And at that price, its a pricey paperweight.- Sound quality: Sometimes better than expected for sure... i use high quality spotify files or very good quality mp3s

Amazing NC, great sound quality, and fantastic features

Besides the good sound quality and impressive noise cancellation quality, he also was able to connect it to Google and ask Google questions.

But audio quality was very unpleasant for me

The aptX codec is meant to enhance the sound quality via BT

Fantastic build quality, noise cancelation and sound quality.

The audio quality and bass are great

What made me convinced of their superior quality, however, is the amount of customization of sound possible within the Sony app

Audio-Technica ATH-M40X ($100 worth), added the little Blucoil AQUA amplifier ($60) and the sound quality is amazing

Sound quality is stellar

I bought these headphones to replace my top-of-the-line Sony MDR-1RNC headphones, which have unbelievably great sound quality but they have been acting up lately (very frustrating)

Nice sound quality, impressive noise cancelling, and the headband seems been improved

The sound quality is very good given its closed dynamics

Excellent noise cancellation and sound quality

the sound quality is the best also, pretty transparent sound, no problems, but its still really expensive for wireless headphones, I hope the market drops it down to around 150 soon, 350 is ridiculous.

Sound quality is decent, not amazing

Sound quality and functionality of these guys are awesome, not quite enough bass for me but great quality and top of the line.

awesome sound quality and noise cancellation

Expensive but very high quality construction and sound, a must buy

(really annoying, this should be fixed!)- poor phone call quality, I switch to my cheap HP for that :)- this color is many things, but it's not GOLD :)))

Fantastic noise canceling, and fantastic sound quality

The battery life is amazing, and I never really have to charge it, the app is nice, though the surround and eq are not good or really necessary particulary because of the built DSEE(Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) which really does improve the quality, in the way a good

Really good headphonesSound quality is amazing

Comfort and sound quality way better than Beats, Skull Candy, or practically any other popular brands

I’d recommend these to anyone who is looking to get a good quality headphone that is versatile with great sound cancelling and new technology

Noise cancelling is stellar and sound quality is terrific

Sound quality was pretty

So let me just say real quick that the sound quality here was fair to good, although you may want to invest in a headphone amp as the resistance is high enough that you may still have trouble hearing what you need to hear even with the (admittedly very high quality) active noise cancellation is activated

Again, wow...the sound is so much clearer and distinct and the quality of the noise reduction is amazing.

Sound Quality: is amazing, I'm no

Bluetooth is stable, sound quality is good

So far I like the sonic qualities well enough for a closed design

Great sound quality and noise cancellation

Bose sound quality is also inferior

Sound quality is great for BT 4.0 headphones

I can't hear anything going on around me when listening.- From what I can tell the sound quality is good, however I am not too picky nor have anything else to base it off of

Sound quality is great on them

The sound quality is also great

The sound quality is amazing

I purchased them for a long flight and was delighted by their noise cancelling ability and amazing sound quality, what I did not expect was how useful they would be at work.

Sound quality and long term comfort, the Sony's win

The noise cancelling is excellent and the sound quality is impressive.

Amazing quality, comfort, and sound

Great quality and sound

Best quality sound and app, not very comfortable to wear.

The sound quality is outstanding, as is the noise cancelling.

Highly recommend these the NC is amazing and sound quality is work every penny.

They blew away my expectations, with a wonderful sound quality as well as effective noise cancelling

I have also made phone calls thru the headphones while driving and also while just walking around and the quality, detail of voice in the calls is impressive

Overall quality is rather decent, sound quality is nothing special but not bad either, you'd expect it in this vicinity from $350 phones

I would have given these headphones 4 stars (since the quality is pretty decent), except the customer service is absolutely horrendous

Sound quality is top of the line

Sound quality is excellent for listening to music and for phone calls

solid build quality, it is comfortable even for a 7 5/8 size head

So on top of the excellent audio quality, the noise cancelling is also top notch

I tried the newest Beats and Bose and other popular leading headphones, and they didn't match the noise cancelling and sound quality of the new Sonys.

but one (including the touch-interface, which far outstrips the Bose units in ease of use).The microphone quality is absolutely horrendous

I could not give it one-star because the sound quality is truly great

Fairly comfortable and the sound quality is good

Great great quality of sound!

Im not a high end speaker only snob by anymeans but do appreciate good quality speakers and headphones

These headphones have been fantastic - sound quality is great, noise cancellation works incredibly well, and battery life has not been an issue at all.

Wonderful product, much better sound quality than the QC competitor :)

They're expensive, but worth the money if you want quality sound and noise canceling

The best on the market, but let down by the bug (see below), and poor quality app.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Headphones automatically shut off every 5 minutes.

Usually I would give up the noise cancellation for better quality

Anyway, the audio quality is very good (though not stellar) and the controls on the ear are nifty

Also, the overall audio has a deep, rich quality.-The NC is good

Sound quality adequate, and the microphone up in the earpiece transmits your voice clearly, I am told

For this price point, I was expecting better quality of everything across the board

After comparing these to the Bose QC35IIs, I have concluded that the sound quality is more dynamic and the noise cancellation is slightly better on these

so it gets kinda fatigued after wearing a long time.2.The sound quality and volume is bit lacking

Materials - cheap quality

I was so on the fence about wireless / NC headphones, after spending years with many high end cans at home and Sennheiser HD 25 II’s for travel - what can I say.. the sound quality is amazing

Impressive build quality

The sound quality is so beautiful, it makes you feel immersed

I'll probably be moving to the Bose QC3 until Sony improves their build quality.

First of all this headphone is definitely awesome, noise canceling works like a magic and sound quality is very good, I love the Headphones app as it gives you chance to have more control over it (I like changing the VPT so much!)

Good quality and sounds amazing

and yes build quality is better than previous model.

They connect easily to any bluetooth device and the sound quality is, again, just amazing

It is very good, the quality is excellent, they are very nice visually, they have a brutal performance, they are definitely the best hearing aids that I have tried.

Do not purchase if you want to sit in silence - the Bose QC35 may be better for that purpose - but do purchase if you are searching for the best sound quality in a wireless noise cancelling headphone

They are very comfortable and have awesome sound quality

The poor build quality have ruined the sound experience of these headphones AGAINWhats the point of spending ~$350 on a set of cans if they use crappy plastic and have zero quality control

The sound quality is definetly worth the price, and the ANC functuality definetly lives up to its name

The case that comes with the headphone is of great quality too

Sound quality is quite adequate for my needs - but this is not the true strength of this device.

First, the build quality is solid with a strong adjustable headband and sturdy ear cups

Sound Quality: Pretty good but not great

I would say its sound quality is definitely better than my Bose QC15 (unfortunately I do not have a QC35 for comparison)

Just a great pair of headphones with a superb sound quality

Anyway, the audio quality is very good (though not stellar) and the controls on the ear are nifty

The sound quality of the music is excellent

(4) Hold palm over your ear to temporarily switch to "Ambient" mode if you need to hear someone talk.== Build quality and fit are excellent so far.

The touch sensors have worked flawlessly and the sound quality is excellent

The sound quality was better than Bose

I do believe wireless has gotten to the point where the sound quality is very, very good

Good Quality

Sound quality is superb

Add to that the excellent sound quality and the innovative convenience of the user interface, through the touch sensitive right ear pad, then this is a definite winner.

I also own Audio Technica ATH50s and Sony MDR-1s that are amazing for listening through media with Aux jacks which is still the way to go if you want the best quality sound.

their superior, more 'natural' spatial qualities, but for what it is this XM2's sound continues to please me

* Sound quality is not great, particularly when compared to wired IEMs or audiophile headphones at this price point (which may be an unfair comparison)

Conclusion: get custom IEMs for better sound quality or for use on an airplane, but get these for noisy open office environment where you want to put on and take off the headphones easily.

Sound quality is great.

Unfortunately loud talks can make it through the headphones though auto adjust feature helps a bit.pros: sound quality is great, both, wired and bluetooth, superb noise cancelling, good build quality, many useful modes, great battery lifecons: have a lots of mic noise on wind, ears can sweat on long use, easy to scroll to next song while attempting to increase volume by gesture on right headphone ( >

The sound quality is very good for being ANC headphones, and the ANC itself is amazing

Quality sound and very comfortable to wear.

The sound quality is great

These have great sound, but the build quality is very bad, and Sony's customer support is truly horrible

Audio quality, hands down Sony is better

They blew away my expectations, with a wonderful sound quality as well as effective noise cancelling

On the reviews the quality of sound and the newer technology it offers was clearly much more superior to Bose in my opinion

Best quality sound and app, not very comfortable to wear.

Sound quality: QC15 wins here

The sound quality is not as good as the wired Hi-res headphones made by sony at the same price, but it's the best you can expect for a wireless headphones, especially with ldac turned on (which is now supported by all the phones with Android 8)

Sony refuses to acknowledge or offer a solution.the noise canceling and sound quality are very good,but since I bought it, I mainly use my old headphones because the foam is tight on my ears

With 30+ hrs battery on bluetooth and 40+ hrs on wire, these super comfy headphones deliver the best sound quality, with market leading noise cancellation technology by Sony

First, the sound quality is excellent, and music comes across beautifully.

The sound quality is wonderful

Although the sound quality is great, when you use the mic for anything like Discord, skype etc the audio quality will drop to Walkie Talkie level.

Sound quality of these headphones is also fantastic

Excellent product, and the quality is awesome

The Sony WH1000XM2 Premium Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones comes with pleasantly surprised nice sound quality and packs with features which we normally do not find even in the higher end wireless headphones

So let me just say real quick that the sound quality here was fair to good, although you may want to invest in a headphone amp as the resistance is high enough that you may still have trouble hearing what you need to hear even with the (admittedly very high quality) active noise cancellation is activated

Fast delivery and great quality sound and features

They are just irresponsible and try everything to blame a customer to get away from the poor quality of their products

The sound quality is far better than the bose

but I found the sound quality to be very, very good in Bluetooth mode

Good sound quality and very decent battery life.

These are better than Boss, plus the sound quality is pretty damn good

These headphones have high quality soft leather to cover the ears completely and they are effective at blocking out sound.

Fantastic noise canceling, and fantastic sound quality

Excellent sound quality

great sound quality more function

But sound quality is pretty pointless when the headband cracks apart with normal usage.

Best sound and quality.

From a pure sound quality point of of view, there are probably equally good or better options for less money on the market, but the battery life and excellent ANC makes these ideal for travel.

The noise cancellation is top notch, and you can tune it to your surroundings by long pressing the secondary button, it goes thru an about 10 seconds long process to improve noise cancellation quality for the current environment

the sound quality is the best also, pretty transparent sound, no problems, but its still really expensive for wireless headphones, I hope the market drops it down to around 150 soon, 350 is ridiculous.

Excellent noise cancellation and sound quality

Sound quality is amazing for Bluetooth

Great quality for the music.

That said I used them during a 12 hour flight in September 2018 (Zurich - SFO) on a United Airlines 787 and was very impressed by the noise cancellation and sound quality

I just want to point out that these cans should not be purchased if you want the best sound quality

Go with the QC35's if only for the superior customer service.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Firstly, the sound quality and noise cancelling and comfort of these is impeccable

But a great pro to them is when you connect the wires you get even better quality

They have great sound quality and feel good to wear but they have one critical flaw which forced me to return two units

Fantastic build quality, noise cancelation and sound quality.

Sound quality is great, battery life feels like it goes on forever without charging

I was blown away by the excellent sound quality which was surprisingly rich in both ends of the frequency spectrum

Excellent product and quality, delivery time good

The sound quality is amazing and to an untrained ear, it is indistinguishable when compared to most dedicated headphones in the same price range.3

They come in a nice carrying case with a good quality audio cable with gold plated connectors that I'm measuring at

SBC is a lossy connection standard and the sound quality is noticeably poorer in this mode

I listen to mostly classical and jazz and the sound quality is quite respectable!

I found I liked the fitment from the Sonys the best, and to me they had the best noise canceling while still maintaining good sound quality.

My bose broke twice in a row, their quality is not great either, so I wanted to find an alternative but Sony is not it

Awesome headphone and sound quality

I've also discovered some irritating sonic qualities to the Sony's sound signature and imaging soundstage

If you are an audiophile who insists on having the absolute BEST sound quality and want background noises to be a thing of the past then LOOK NO FURTHER!The battery charges in about an hour and is good to go for almost thirty

Sound quality is excellent, same as Bose.

But sound quality is pretty pointless when the headband cracks apart with normal usage.

Good sound quality

-Amazing sound quality, but a little weak on the bass.-Very comfortable, I forget they're on my head sometimes

They were great but the quality was lacking

Wow, excellent audio quality!

The build quality is incredible (a huge step up from its predecessor), and the silhouette is artistic, minimalist, and very eye-catching

Sound quality is amazing - I listen to bass heavy music and was really surprised at the quality of the bass at high volumes

Sound quality and noise cancelling is very good

Sound quality is exceptional, they are amazing in blocking outside sound, no signs of sound leak whatsoever, and battery life is just perfect

Update: well yes great sound quality, but after 5 months, same problem as previous model, mine got broken as usual at the headband

Sound quality is very good, good treatable, and surprisingly good bass, overall great sound quality

Sound quality is great

The sound quality build and noise cancellation are vastly superior to the Bohm 66, but its not a fair comparison is it?Found this to be as good if not better than the QC35

The sound quality is awesome but I must say that the XB950BT are much louder

My bose quietcomfort was excellent in noise-cancelling, quality, but too heavy on the bass despite having crisp mids and highs

Sound quality is good, but it's not comfortable to wear long period of time at least for me.

I own both the Bose QC35 series 1 and these..sound quality is perhaps slightly better with these

But the sound quality is very good

The sound quality is really nice, and I love the touch interface

Great headphones, wonderful noise reduction, ​and awesome sound quality.

I would highly recommend these to anyone who needs silence from time to time and who prefers quality over volume when it comes to audio equipment

The sound quality in combination with the noise cancelling, means i can enjoy movies late at night without disturbing anyone in the house while scrubbing out distracting traffic, dishwasher noise, etc...

The sound quality is awesome!

Noise cancelling is superb with minimal effect on the awesome sound quality

Dont buy this product....horrible quality and sound

The sound quality is excellent

well sound quality and anc is pretty

My only complaint is the quality of conversation when used to answer a phonecall: mics are distant and you may sound very distant to the other sid, most of the time you will find yourself screaming in the crowd (since sound proofing is so good you can't hear your own voice, but of course other people can)

To be fair, I've never had any before now, but it's a really good quality of life addition

Every thing is either great (sound quality, noise cancellation, touch controls, battery life) or very good (materials), but the real deal breaker is the inability to switch seamlessly between multiple devices

He really likes the sound quality, the noise cancellation and being able to answer and take a call with the headphones.

But the experience of making and answering phone calls is not great, with the person on the other side often reporting poor sound quality.

Based on reviews these were shown to have slightly better sound quality than the bose 35.

“Headphones” app, touchpad, Adaptive Sound Control, Ambient Sound Control, Noise Cancelling Optimizer, Sound Position Control, DSEE HX, and some more), great build quality, and you’ve got one of the best headphones ever.

With LDAC support, the sound quality is outstanding for a wireless pair of phones

Sound quality is great

Pros:These cans had the best balance between noise canceling and audio quality, hands down

The sound quality is perfect!

but I cannot recommend these at all due to the poor build quality

The price is a little steap but the quality you are getting is well worth it

The sound quality is outstanding, particularly so for the classical and jazz I tend to listen to

The audio quality is pretty good but the build quality is just standard and I would have hoped for more

The sound quality is good; however, the latency of sound to picture while watching TV is good, but NOT the best I have seen on bluetooth headphones.

Let me tell you, the sound quality is amazing

Perhaps what's most remarkable is that you end up enjoying audiophile-quality (to my ears, and I've owned a lot of cups over the years) in a wireless setup that enables you to take a call as easily as bounce along to some music

For me, the sound quality, the features and noise canceling won the day for me.

Pros:-Great sound quality

This song has so much music in it that we should be able to hear clearly on high quality headphones, particularly the Edge’s outstanding guitar work

I'm not sure what the WH1000XM2 sounds like but quality-

The sound quality is excellent

Great headphones, wonderful noise reduction, ​and awesome sound quality.

Both of us found them to be exceptionally comfortable, provide a deep rich sound quality and to be fantastic at drowning out outside noise

Bose has a very excellent quality

but I just love the sound quality on these much more.

I'm biased because of that love, the love is reciprocated in the form of exceptional sound quality without the normal pitfalls of being wireless, you should really move on and read someone else's review because I don't have anything negative to say

Sound quality is good, but it's not comfortable to wear long period of time at least for me.

The unit I received is the gold color version which looks a bit more like beige color and the construction is of very good quality

Sound quality is nice and they're pretty comfortable in cool environments

Whether you are an intense or a casual listener to music, these headphones are the purest quality I’ve ever heard for a casual consumer of music

Good case for storage and comes with good quality accessories

The sound quality is impressive, the features really works well and do what they promise

Unfortunately loud talks can make it through the headphones though auto adjust feature helps a bit.pros: sound quality is great, both, wired and bluetooth, superb noise cancelling, good build quality, many useful modes, great battery lifecons: have a lots of mic noise on wind, ears can sweat on long use, easy to scroll to next song while attempting to increase volume by gesture on right headphone ( >

Loved the audio quality, and the touch controls on the ear cup were excellent

I love the sound quality of

The sound quality was good and the noise cancelling was OK.

The build quality is solid

Update: well yes great sound quality, but after 5 months, same problem as previous model, mine got broken as usual at the headband

- Sound quality is great

If you forget all this, there is a nice little diagram inside the case (which is itself a great quality case and includes a two stick-out airplane headphone port adapter) that explains how to operate

My girlfriend has the Bose and as I travel a lot I wanted noise cancelling, wireless and great sound quality

Given the poor quality we experienced and the other adverse reviews, we will look for a different product

Also, Sony are using something they call DSEE HX which automagically improves the sound quality significantly

Noise cancellation and sound quality are superb

The sound quality is great both with Bluetooth or with the cable.

Don’t buy this product, although the sound is good, but the build quality is very poor this cracking issue is since version 1 and still, I read about it

Great sound quality, I love them more than bose QC35

I recommend u to buy on the sale

only problem i have is that tiny sound delay from the souce like 0.2s sound delay from the play souceit wont hurt u if u just listen to mp3but it will hurt u a bit when u watch moiveand alot on play gameswas hoping sony fix that problem

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.

for reference, I've had some etymotic er4s (passive, in-ear noise cancellation), bose quiet comfort 20, and i compared for some time in the Bose store my current sony wh1000xm3 with the bose quiet comfort 25 and bose quiet comfort 35 i and ii.

AMAZING!!I first bought the Bose QC 35II but returned them because I felt they lacked in technology as far as convenience and sound

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.
