If you don't fall into that category there are better-sounding headphones for less money – especially if you don't mind dropping the noise cancelling feature. Similarly

Not great as a headset

Abstract: Sony makes no bones about going after Bose. In fact, when the company first showed off its product in the lead up to IFA this summer, it said as much, acknowledging that the QuietComfort line is largely considered the gold standard for noise-cancelling tr...

Unrivaled noise canceling, Exceptional sound for wireless, Multiple audio codec support, Solid design and touch controls,
Comfy, but not Bose-comfy, Lacks dynamic multiple device switching, Longer charge time than other cans, $50 more expensive than Bose QC35
Sony has pulled a fast one on its rivals here. For a company whose last serious attempt at noise canceling was the h.ear on Wireless NC headphones, the MDR-X1000's are a huge step up in performance. Not only do they look smart and block out distraction, t...

Excellent noise cancellation across a range of radically different environments, Sleek, touch-sensitive gesture control pad, Light, compact, and comfortable
Surprisingly sub-par wired performance, Ambient sound modes are practical, not perfect, Noise cancellation effectiveness varies by context
Cafe, airport, and airplane testsThe MDR-1000X's performance in real-world, road-warrior environments—airplanes, cafes, and airports—was impressive. I tested the MDR-1000X with an Onkyo DP-X1 and Astell&Kern AK70 high-res DAPs (reviews of both are for...

Powerful audio performance with rich lows and strong clarity in the highs, Can be used passively with included audio cable, Noise cancellation is independent of wireless functionality, Ambient mics work quite well, Functional, comfortable design
Expensive, Noise cancellation is good, but not great, Included audio cable lacks inline remote

High quality, Sound quality, Comfort, Smart noise canceling toggle
Single device pairing, Touch surface needs work
Overall the Sony MDR-1000X is one of the best noise cancelling headset on the market. If you can live with only one device paired at once, then it's the headset you should choose. If however, you are like me and need at least 2 or 3 devices paired at all...

Very good sound quality, useful convenience features, wide Bluetooth codec support
Rather pricey
The Sony MCR-1000X headphones are expensive. Very expensive. But they also provide first class sound quality, Bluetooth convenience and a bunch of well designed usability features. You should have a listen to see if you like the sound.Tags Bluetooth headp...
Sony might be a noise-cancelling newbie but the MDR-1000Xs should have more established rivals sweating – on both sound quality and noise-killing efficacy, these cans are superb.Factor in the elegant, thoughtful design and you've got a serious contender f...
Sony's $699.95 MDR-1000X is an expensive pair of headphones, even if you're a frequent traveller or constant commuter that can take full advantage of both the MDR-1000X's excellent noise cancelling and convenient Bluetooth. You'll have to really like the...
