Noise Cancelling Headphones Without App

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

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)

With COVID-19 and the stay at home order Noise Cancelling Headphones became a necessity for me. I tried a competitor's headphones and decided they were not good enough I could still hear everyone talking. Then I bought these. Amazing sound quality, lightweight, easy pairing, power saving, noise cancelling is wonderful! I can't hear a thing that's going on outside of the headphones.

These are not noise-cancelling headphones, but they are close. They are also heavy. If that bothers you, look elsewhere.

I love these headphones. They are extremely comfortable and the noise cancelling is mazing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had many pairs of buds over the years, and didn’t realize how inferior they were until I tried the Sony linkbuds S. First off, the setup process was very easy to do, I downloaded the app, and it walked me through in the matter of a minute or 2. There are 4 different sizes of the ear plugs, so you can get the right fit. Once I had them setup, and turned some music on, I was absolutely amazed at the quality of the sound. The absolute best feature is the noise cancelling. I listen to music at work, and it is pretty loud in our building. I put the buds in, and you could still hear background noise, at first…..after 2 seconds, the noise cancelling kicked in, and it all went away. The app is really helpful with learning all of the different features on the ear buds. Hopefully I will enjoy these amazing ear buds for years to come.
