And, extra features are available with Apple devices via phone app or via the SBC codec on Android.

The feature of covering the right ear to hear instructions and conversation is great.

This is a very expensive headphone and not having this feature is nonsense for me

I have come to love this feature so much that I would use it

The features are incredible

The Bose are more comfortable to me, I like physical buttons and dont need gimmicky features that the Sonys have

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

I love the touch features on these headphones and I'm waiting for the software update for Google Assistant

Overall, super impressed with the sound quality and the noise cancelling features

Pair that with mind-blowing sound quality, great tech features

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

This feature works with phone conversations, too.5 - Battery life.6 - Universal micro USB charger

The touch gestures work well and are very easy to use, a great feature I wish I had on other headphones

All features work fine on their own (without the app).== Touch controls work better than I expected.

The most annoying feature is the touch sensitive switch.

However, Sony has better features and both sounds great.

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)

The noise cancelling feature works like magic.

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.

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.

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

I love the feature that temporarily dims your music and boosts ambient noise

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

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)

The touch sensor on the right ear is a nice feature, using the swiping functions to adjust music tracks and volume.

The Sony competitor doesn't have the ability to skip tracks and that is an important feature for me.

Every other feature became unimportant to me after hearing the sound and feeling the comfort

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

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

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.

Good sound quality and noise cancelling features.

, 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

over the ear noise cancellation and features are very good, and got a very good deal on Amazon

The user interface is feature rich and easier to utilize than the Bose, but the software feature is, again, lacking quality.

A little heavy but still comfortableHas many smart features

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

I loved the sound clarity, battery life and noice cancelling feature

Great noise canceling on the plane, and I love the features so much

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

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

I love the feature to turn noise cancelling feature off and ambient sound on

the bose are more comfortable but the Sony aren't bad either love the features on the

I just have to set on the phone and the headphone do it automatically, I love this feature

AND NOISE CANCELLING (with the small exception of the WH1000XM2 having some NC features on the Sony app)

The-not-so-useful-features: You CANT adjust ANYTHING while in AptX mode, meaning no EQ and no preferred virtual soundstage

For one, personally, I don't like the touch command features

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

Yes there are more features than the Bose, but this headset fails as premium headphones and that's its primary purpose

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

These are amazing headphones with awesome features, and even better sound quality (yes the bass is

The iOS features on the app are amazing as well!

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

I have Bose in-ear headphones and love the noise cancelling feature.

I liked the features of the headphones over the other brand

Either way, I was stoked to see them arrive, as they have amazing noice-cancellation features

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

I enjoy the app and the features

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

The auto-changing ambient mode (turns on ambient mode while walking and turns ambient mode off when stationary) is perhaps the best feature.

BUT I would never give up the amazing feature of cupping the ear to hear people talk

(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

What a great sound and features

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

A very annoying feature of these headphones is that they have to be connected, either with Bluetooth or wired, for the NC to work

Good features

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

and I really like the feature to automatically adjust noise cancellation based on a few activities

so my favorite feature is defiantly the optimizer function.

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.

so many times I damn really HATE that feature.

This is a very expensive headphone and not having this feature is nonsense for me

These headphones have other nice features, such as noise pass through if you cup your hand on the ear piece.

There are many other wonderful features of the touch surface.

but I feel the Sony with all of its available features and adjustable

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

It's a stupid feature and it gets in the way

Some said this one didn't beat the Bose QC35 and the fancy features were gimmicks

Unfortunately, a few days ago, the feature no longer work

Only missing feature is that it would pause the music when the headphones are removed.

Fast delivery and great quality sound and features

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

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

So it is probably not the headphones but my phone; just be aware that this feature might not work well with some phones.

Perfect noise cancellation, perfect features, adorable look,

Noise cancelling works well and has nice features

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

This feature is available with iphones and androids, but not a PC.

(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

Great features, useful app, nice build quality

The features are really cool, especially the pass through voice.

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.

If you are looking for the best features and amazing Noise Cancelling, the Sony 1000xm2's are the way to go!

Perfect noise cancellation, perfect features, adorable look,

They are comfortable, good weight, biuld quality, nice features with the microphone on the touch pad

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

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

It's too bad because the noise-cancelling feature was awesome, but why house it in such cheap plastic design?

Instead, you have to charge these through your computer which is funny for something that stresses portability as a key feature.

Amazing NC, great sound quality, and fantastic features

But Sony's feature of pausing the ANC if you hold your hand on the right earphone won the day for me.

Very good noise cancelling when listening to music or watching videos.2) Great features like mute, ANC sensitivity, app, and gesture controls.3

Sony product people were overconfident in their design and didn't include a way to disable this feature, making this a fundamentally flawed product.

Some said this one didn't beat the Bose QC35 and the fancy features were gimmicks

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.

The gesture controls are easy to use and the listening feature is extremely convenient

Genuinely a step up from the previous generation and different, but as good as, Bose of comparable price

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.

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

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

(it's predecessor) headbands used to crack a

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.

n’t cover accidental damage
