Automatic Turnoff is a Design Failure
on July 15, 2017
Posted by: bobbobbin
Gender:Male
Sound and noise cancelling function are both great. Comfort is average at best; I was sweating after about 30 minutes.
A big deal for me is that they automatically turn off if they are not connected to a device. Thus, it is not possible to use them solely for noise cancelling
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great headphones but still
on May 10, 2018
Posted by: Sam_
Gender:Male
I love these headphones. I've only had them for a couple of days but so far: amazing sound, light, portable, resistant, decent noise cancelling.
All good until I tried to connect them to my PS4.
This review is mostly for Sony which as a company decided to allow only some BT headphones to connect to their own Playstation. You guessed it - their top-of-the-line model (the MDR100ABN) did not make that list and will not be allowed to connect to the PS4. Just because..
The only way around it is to connect them via a cable (against the whole point of the WIRELESS headphones) or to buy some strange 3rd party BT/optical or whatever adaptor.
Sony headphones to Sony Playstation - not supported although they are perfectly compatible. Or at least they should be.
That is disappointing!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

NFC not compatible with Apple products
on January 31, 2018
Posted by: atwixtor
Gender:Male
No where could I find any footnotes or other notes that would have warned me NFC pairing (which iPhones *are* capable of doing), is only compatible with Android phones (and only some of them, at that). Very disappointed by this.
Otherwise they are decent, but there is a noticeable lack of bass response and sensitivity when using Bluetooth (compared to wired).
I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from sony.comBy Sony North America Customer Support, February 1, 2018
Hi atwixtor, we're sorry to hear that. NFC feature is for Android devices only. Kindly refer to the link below on how to connect your Apple device to the headphones:
