Audiophile Quality Noise Cancelling Headphones

Have 2 other Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones over the years and I always felt somewhat disappointed in the quality of the noise cancelling, but figured this is what it is. Now I know differently. These Sony headphones literally shut down nearly all the noise where I can't hear anyone talking to me and priced reasonably, unlike the Bose or Apple headphones.

Ive had several other noise cancelling headphones by Bose (QC35 II) and Beats (Studio Wireless) and I always hailed Bose as king of Noise Cancelling headphones. Now the only thing that Bose has over Sony is the durability of the headphones, my Bose headphones I could pretty much bend however I wanted and they wouldn't break. The Sony's are a bit more stiff, but the material is still premium! I originally went with Bose because of their comfort though, I like to wear my headphones for an extended period of time and the old Sony's (XM1 and XM2) got uncomfortable after a few hours. With the new design however, I can see myself wearing these all day! What does Sony have to offer that's better than Bose? - Noise cancelling (much better) - Sound quality - Battery life - Customization through app - Accessories (better quality auxiliary charger cords, as well as a good airplane adapter!!) - USB-C Charger!!! (as a MacBook Pro owner this was a must, I hated micro-usb so much) - Comfort? (I'm still testing this out but ill update in a few weeks if its better or on-par with the Bose QuietComfort 35 ii)

Best noise cancelling headphones in the market right now

I am loving my new headphones, cleanest sound ever and a good noise cancelling.

These are great headphones and I really love the noise cancelling feature.

Great as Bluetooth headphones, over the ear wired headphones and noise cancelling.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decided to try these headphones as I've always been a bluetooth earbud kinda guy and I wanted some nice over the ear phones for flights/travel. Also wanted them for doing yardwork outside and having the noise cancelling while using power tools outside could come in real handy. Right out of the box and with a fresh charge, they paired instantly with my Android phone. No Bluetooth button to hit to put it into pairing mode etc. Downloaded the JBL headphone app and started in to discovering these babys. Being able to dial in the equalizer is always a plus. I'm not a fan of stock EQ settings. Classical was clear and the quiet parts had no noise or interference. Straight to classic rock, jazz, then podcasts. I have no complaints with the sound quality, it's excellent. I'm going to have to get used to using external phones like these, but that being said, they are very comfortable to wear. Not too much pressure on the ears, soft pads, lots of room to adjust. And as you can see from my picture, I have a HUGE head and they sit very comfortably on my massive pumpkin. Charges with a USB-C and using a 27w charger, they topped off in no time. Love the noise cancelling quality, and phone calls were clear and crisp. People couldn't tell I was using them during my call. Highly recommend these headphones.

Very nice headphones. Noise cancelling is pretty good. Sound quality is great with good bass tones.

These are not noise cancelling headphones, but close enough. Once I have them on, I can hear nothing but the sound from these headphones. The sound quality is clear and crisp. They fit nicely and are very comfortable too. For $100 these are surely an impressive set. Professionals on a budget, this should be your stop!

I needed a good set of noise cancelling headphones for work and my biggest struggle was finding ones with good microphones for virtual meetings. Not only is the noise cancellation on this pair excellent, but the microphone quality is also incredible. I didn’t want to drop $250 on earbuds and didn’t want to sacrifice on quality, and I’m happy I found these that provide excellent value for a reasonable price. I rarely leave 5 star reviews, so me giving these 5 stars says something.
