Bought this product three weeks ago, it works perfectly, but just one problem. It needs sony software to be at its best. This means some songs will simply just sound weird especially when they have a deep bass. Otherwise, they are awesome

I bought these earbuds for use when travelling light. I have owned both Phillips and Sony noise cancelling earbuds in the past and this pair is by far the best. The battery life is sufficient for all but the longest flights. The noise cancelling works well for most background noise, but does allow some speech through (e.g airplane announcements). Not sure if this is by design. These are not a replacement for over ear noise cancelling headphones like my Bose quiet comfort qc25'sin terms of sound quality and noise cancelling, but they don't sit in the same space. The fact they are available in a range of colours other than traditional black or silver is a bonus.

After reading many disheartening reviews about the sound quality and noise isolation being poor I was surprised at how wrong they are. Obviously the sound quality isn't as good as normal earphones of the same price the sound quality is noticeably better than other earphones I have used before. I have used these earphones whilst studying in a noisy room and was shocked that I couldn't hear anything apart from music which was at a low volume, the noise isolation is so versatile because of the 3 different settings and this is probably its best feature
