Just had it a day, sound is fine, the on off process is inconvenient as is the placement of the volume buttons. Would not buy again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got these headphones 2 days ago and they are incredibly good. I like how these headphones connect to my phone and PC at the same time so that after a call, its goes back to playing my music. The Sony Headphones Connect is a must have if you care about fine tuning your audio, connecting to 2 devices, and 360 reality audio. The 50 hour battery life is good if you play your music non-stop. The only think I don't like about this product is after 30 minutes of use, it starts to hurt my ears. I would recomend this product for anyone who is new to buy wireless headphones from Sony

Hi Spunky1, Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality of your headphones. Enjoy high sound quality all day long. The WH-CH520 headphones with up to 50 hours of battery life, stable connectivity, and enhanced call performance, meet the demands of your day. With Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) restores the harmonics and liveliness lost during typical music compression, for a more authentic performance. You can even tailor music to your own taste with EQ settings on the Sony | Headphones Connect app, for a personalized listening experience. Thank you for choosing Sony. Erin

Unfortunately, I lost my last pair of Sony headphones that I had for years, and I have to admit I didn't even consider another brand. I bought these and they are so awesome! They're an updated version of my old ones, but with even better features, like the 50 hour battery life and the new app's equalizer. These are the best headphones I've ever owned, and I'm so glad I bought them!

Over all I do like the way the feel on my head. The controls are not easy to distinguish by feel because the power and volume are close together. I wish the ear cups were bigger to fit over my ears not on them. The battery last a very long time over 5 hours and only went down to 70%. The charging cable is way to short it should be at least 12 inches. The battery charged up in about 1 hour. The sound quality is also good. I use the head set listing to the TV quite a bit and after about 4 or five hours i have to remove them because they are a bit tight. I would recommend them to anyone not wanting to buy expensive headphones.
