These could have been the best pair of noise cancelling headphones out there. With the MDR-1000X headband breaking issue, Sony had a chance to perhaps clean a little bit the image, there is no other reason for a whole new model of headphones to be released that is in fact pretty much the same as the...

I spent hours upon hours of researching to find the perfect wireless headphones. I tried on both the Beats Studio3 and Bose QC35II. The bose was amazing in terms of comfort and had great sound. However what sold me on these was; 1. They are comfortable (not as comfortable as Bose QC35).

I had these for a couple of weeks. Mainly used them at work too cut out noise and use for calls. The NC works great and pretty comfortable wearing all day with glasses on. I have a pair of Bowers & Wilkins wired pair, that the Sonys will replace, the sound was great, but comfort while wearing...

NC works great; sound; and comfort while wearing glasses

Concerned about quality of the head band breaking as seen in other reviews; Cost is a little high for the band quality; Just have to be careful with them

Midway through last year I switched from Bose QC35's to the new Sony MDR-1000X noise cancelling headphones for travelling. While the Bose QC35's were excellent the Sony's were just that little bit better, than even the newer Bose QC40.

As expected, the sound quality is excellent. The Bluetooth connection is strong, and I've not suffered any glitches when connected to my TV from 10m away. The associated Head Phones Connect App is a little clinky, but has some preset equaliser settings, and allows some custom ones to be applied to...

Right now, the wireless headphone market is a win-win-win scenario for the customer looking for a noise cancelling full-sized cans. Between the Sennheiser , PSB , and Sony you really can't go wrong.

The Sony WH-1000XM2 reviewed here was released in August 2017, and remains one of our top picks for wireless noise-canceling headphones. While the Bose QuietComfort 35 II is lighter and more comfortable to wear, the Sony WH-1000XM2 arguably sounds a tad better and offers more features. It also sometimes gets discounted to less than $300. The price for the Beats Studio3 Wireless has dropped (you can get it for less than $225 online), so it's become a more attractive option in this category.

Sony's WH-1000XM2 may not be quite as comfortable as Bose's QuietComfort 35 II, but in some respects it's a superior headphone.

The Sony WH-1000XM2 is an excellent-sounding, comfortable wireless headphone with effective noise canceling that measures up to Bose's for muffling ambient noise; Its battery life has been improved and it has some nifty extra features geared toward frequent travelers.

It should perform a little better as a headset; Battery isn't replaceable.

Supposed to be the latest and greatest noise cancelling headphones. Decent all-around package but the noise cancelling does not match the Bose QC 35 and the sound quality does not match the Sennheiser PXC 550.

It is not a bad headset but it is on the top end so you expect a little better. First the fit is large so if you have a slightly smaller head as I do then it fits loose. Not impossible to wear but I suspect as the unit gets a little age, it will not stay on my head.

Sony hit a home-run with its flagship noise cancelling MDR-1000X back in 2016. It even managed to give the Bose QC35 ( Review ) some stiff competition. Both companies unveiled their follow-up offerings last year, and now that we've reviewed the Bose QC35 II, it's time to check out Sony's new...

Great build quality; Convenient touch controls; Great sound quality; Feature-rich companion app; Very good battery life; Effective noise cancellation

Multi-point connection is a compromise; High price
