Do Noise Cancelling Headphones Work For Sleeping

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.

Best noise cancelling headphones in the market right now

Stupendous sound and noise cancelling from these headphones, and they're extremely comfortable. They can be worn for hours without fatigue. the controls work well. Right out of the box they work well, the phone app isn't really needed. One gripe, considering the exorbitant price: There's no included AC charger, despite the fact that one is pictured in the instruction sheet. This is annoying.

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.

I bought these primarily for the noise cancelling, and they work great. I work in an office with half height cubicles and lots of conversations, copier machines, conference calls, etc. I am not exaggerating when I say they brought a momentary tear to my eyes when I turned them on for the first time. The office hum and chaos tuned immediately to a hush. I couldnt even hear the copier or my neighbors conversation. I kept taking them off and putting them on just to make sure I wasnt fooling myself. Right then and there I knew my office life would change for the better, and it has. Ive had these for about two weeks and bring them with me everyday. Please be aware that some voices are of a certain frequency that the noise cancelling doesnt totally block them out, but they are silenced enough that a soft soundtrack through my Bluetooth connection effectively eliminates any remnant noise. The music quality was secondary to my needs, but I am very happy with the quality of both the wired connection and wireless for my streaming service. To maximize these headphones I recommend downloading the Sony Music Center app in addition to the headphone app the instructions link you to download on your mobile device. It seemed to enable the LDAC wireless connection from my mobile phone to these headphones. These get five stara from me because they exceed my expectations. For somebody who is an audiophile, they may not exceed your expectations. But if you want really good audio quality and effective noise cancelling in a wireless over the ear headphone, dont hesitate. BTW, they are very good for taking calls too and having a conversation. My wife couldnt tell I was on headphones when I was talking to her. She said my voice was very clear, for what its worth. One other thing to note is that the physical button that turns on/off the headphone can be reassigned to do Google Assistant. Seems redundant if your phone is within reach. But I like these very much and highly recommend!

Fantastic!!! I use mine for work and the noise cancelling is great.

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.

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)
