Community sentiment is positive but measured. A detailed r/SonyHeadphones honest take summarizes it as great battery, great comfort, and great passive isolation, but flags hollow, underwhelming stock sound that EQ only partly fixes, and ANC that is decent rather than class-leading. Several owners note the app helps dial in more bass and treble. With a 4.4 Amazon average across nearly 16,000 reviews and the AUX option as a bonus, the consensus is a strong budget commuter pair as long as you are willing to EQ it.

Number one: great performance, solid headphones. The build quality may be slightly cheaper with the materials as it is made on a budget, but it is also the ...
They sound good to me. Straight out of the box they're okay. I've used the app to adjust the sound to my liking. Needed a bit more bass and treble for me.
