Our take on the Sony Noise Canceling Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones W/ Microphone

Sony's wireless over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation and a built-in microphone for calls. They are aimed at commuters, flyers and open-office workers who want to block steady background noise without wires. Against rivals, Sony's noise cancellation and long battery life are the main draws; the trade-offs are a bulky over-ear build and call quality that trails the best boom-mic headsets.

Cons

Questions and answers

How good is the noise cancellation?

It handles steady low-frequency noise such as plane engines, train rumble and air conditioning well. Sudden sounds and nearby conversation come through more than with the best current models.

Can I use them for calls?

Yes, the built-in microphone handles hands-free calls. Callers hear you clearly in quiet rooms, but wind and crowd noise get picked up outdoors.

Do they work wired?

They are Bluetooth headphones first. A wired connection is useful when the battery runs out or on flights without Bluetooth.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life is one of their strengths, lasting through long flights and full workdays. Noise cancellation on shortens it somewhat.

Are they comfortable for glasses wearers?

The over-ear pads seal around the ear, which suits most glasses wearers. Clamping force and warmth build up over several hours.

Do they work with iPhone and Android?

Yes, they pair over standard Bluetooth with phones, tablets and laptops on either platform.
