Overview

Noise-cancelling over-ear headphones

Sony's lower-cost noise-cancelling over-ears, built to be light rather than premium. Bluetooth audio is limited to SBC and AAC, with no LDAC.

  • Light plastic build

    Rated as Sony's lightest wireless noise-cancelling over-ears at launch. Reviewers found them comfortable for hours, though the all-plastic build looks and feels cheap.

  • Non-folding design

    The ear cups swivel flat, but the headphones don't fold and no case is included, so they take up more bag space than folding models.

  • Bass-heavy tuning

    Most reviewers found the default sound warm and bass-heavy. The app's equaliser can rebalance it.

Battery

Rated up to 35 hours with noise cancelling on, or 50 hours with it off. A 3-minute charge gives about an hour of playback.

Wired listening

The supplied headphone cable plays audio even when the headphones are switched off. Noise cancelling works over the cable only while they are on.
