These headphones refuse to work on my PC. The audio quality is atrocious and barely even comes through. The mic is also the same. It took me an hour to anything to even work in the first place. I need a refund on this. I'm so fed up.

Superb Headphone

Great sound for listening. to wide variety of styles of music. I wouldn't use them for critical mix/audio edit tasks though (that's my work). The noise cancelling is more than good enough to shut out the noise of a overcrowded train & they look pretty smart

Had this for a few weeks and I love the sound quality, coupled with the noise cancellation. Also the fact it pauses when you take them off, that helps quite a bit, especially when the swipe features don't always register. The Sony app is really helpful too!

Brought the headphones for my daughter’s birthday she’s over the moon with this, the sound quality is amazing it has features to block outside noise, she likes that she can hold on one side of the ear muff to mute and able for her to have conversations with someone else.
