Nice Cans.

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2017

Other than a few very small complaints, I'm in love with these headphones. I bought these because I commute on the subway to work, and earbuds and over-the-ear headphones don't cut it for blocking out the noise. But thanks to the around-the-ear design and noise-cancelling feature, I can listen to music on the train at safe volumes levels, and even audiobooks and podcasts (which was impossible for me before, even with the volume turned all the way up). These perfectly fit the function I had in mind, and so I am completely satisfied.

As far as my small complaints, both are just user-interface related:

There is no "low battery" warning. My old Bluetooth headphones (ODT Privates) made some warning beeps as battery depleted, but this headset gives no indication its running low on battery until it just shuts off.

* There is no "beep" when a device connects to the headphones. Again, this was a feature on my old headphones, and was useful for knowing when you have successfully connected to a device.

These complaints are minor, and do not prevent me from fully endorsing these headphones. If you are looking for an affordable pair of around-the-ear, noise-cancelling, Bluetooth connected headphones, then look no further.

mini-plug jack has failed - only works in bluetooth mode - so if you are on an airplane and are trying to use the in-flight entertainment that uses a mini-plug, it won't work

Great general purpose headphone, but noise cancellation is not as good as the current market leader

Bougt thes for a trans atlantic flight and after long hesitation between the Sony MDR-ZX770BN and the Bose QC25 i decided to shoose the Sony. Back then the QC35 wasn't released and i did choose the Sony for the Bluetooth connectivity wich was lacking from the QC25. I never had the chance to try the Sony Before my purchase but after doing some research and having read a couple of good review i decided to take the leap of faith,

The MDR-ZX770BN is a great set of general purpose headphone i use them pretty much everyday now and they work extremely well. They are easy to pair with most of my devices ( ipad, iphone 5s, galaxy s7 etc,) it does have some issues with my 15 years old VAIO laptop but i'm not blaming the headphone.

The only critic i'm giving as to do with the noise cancelling. It does help to eliminate some ''even'' continuous noise such as a AC unit or a airplane engine but it's nowhere as impressive as Bose to eliminate ambient noise such as a crowd or a nearby radio etc

For the asked price i would like to see Sony offering a noise cancellation as efficient as the current market leader Bose.

HORRIBLE Bluetooth Connection

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have had these for a few months now, and as far as sound quality goes, they are alright.

The bluetooth connection is HORRIBLE though. I try to connect these to my laptop, and it takes five tries before the computer even says they are connected, and then still the music plays through the computer, even though my headphones are connected! I try to connect these to my phone on Spotify, and of course it takes five tries, but then the playback is so so choppy. Every word is choppy and it is agonizing to listen to music.

The only option left is to use the cord to plug in to my phone! The buttons on the headphones and noise cancelling don't even work then, so then what is the point of paying this much for these!

Very good product and good price

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2016

I got these for a very long flight to Vietnam and back. I wanted not only to filter out the engine and cabin noise, but to listen to audio books during the flight. They worked great on both counts. The noise canceling works even better than I thought it would and the sound quality is excellent. I fully charged the headset before I left for the wireless feature. I have listened for several hours (I have not logged the numbers of hours, but it’s a lot) on that single charge and am still listening after getting back home a week ago.
This is a great product and you can’t beat the price or the performance.

The Handsfree noise cancelling feature is not so good. I had bought this for my wife, but while making call, I could hear all the background noise from her's side and could barely feature voice.

I recommend you watch one of the review videos for this ...

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2015

These appear to have been aimed at the Chinese market (packaging), but they are sealed and otherwise identical to the headsets offered for significantly more money in the US (including by other sellers on Amazon). Ordered last night and arrived this morning (NYC - thank you Prime!). They come with a carrying pouch (not a hard case), a standard USB-to-MicroUSB charging cable (but no charger, and not micro-HDMI as indicated in some of the Q&As), and a standard 3.5mm audio cable for wired use (which does not require the battery to be charged).

I recommend you watch one of the review videos for this headset on YouTube. While pairing the headset is easy, there are three different sound modes and switching between them is not trivial (power on with the Vol+ or Vol- button held down and counting the number of blue flashes). Also, there may be an automatic noise cancelling mode that requires a long press on the noise-cancelling button. Finally, the battery indicator requires counting red flashes when you press the power button.

The headphones sound fine and pair with a variety of Bluetooth devices (iPhone, PC, TV transmitter). They are comfortable to wear and reasonably light, though probably not the most stylish headphones out there. Surprisingly, there are only a few competitors in this category (Bluetooth, over-the-ear, noise-canceling) from Beats, Samsung, and one or two other manufacturers, and I think this headset holds its own from a price/value perspective.

I docked the review by one star because they don't come with a hard case (expected at this price point) or a charger.

Good wireless headphones for the price

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2016

I got these headphones a few weeks ago, and I like them better than any of the cheaper options I've bought.

Pros:
- Comfortable.
- Battery lasts me 2-3 days between charges, listening about 4-8 hours at a time
- Feels like good construction.
- Decent noise cancelling. Definitely brings down the noise of the computers and A/C in the office when I power on.
- Light weight, for me.
- I can switch from bluetooth to wired when needed.

Cons:
- Only decent noise cancelling. The background fuzz is very noticeable.
- Outside, the wind blows across the noise cancelling microphones and gets amplified a lot. Do not recommend them for walking, riding bike.
- I found the controls a bit counterintuitive. Back for next track and forward for last track?
- I'd like an audible warning when the battery is getting low.
