Quality Piece with Interesting Style

Verified Purchase:Yes
Sound quality is amazing for the size. Controls are simple and straightforward to use. Worked well with with both my iPhone and MacBook Pro. I am hard of hearing (I wear hearing aids, but not for listening to music) and the clarity of this unit works well for me.

Finally Switched From Windows
on September 5, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
When my seven year old Windows machine started acting sketchy (an HP running Vista that performed flawlessly until recently), I decided that it was time to consider making the move to Apple. After finally having a smartphone for the past year (yeah, I know, I'm old and cheap), and loving the quality of it, I decided now was the time to make the change. Yes, the iPhone 5s convinced me to try a MacBook Pro...that and my wife also has an iPhone and and iPad, so the continuity of similar platforms was appealing. Was the change easy? Absolutely. Were some things a little difficult to figure out? Yeah, but that is what Google is best at. This machine is fast, light, cool running and a real pleasure to use. I have given up my cordless mouse for the great track pad Apple has developed. I have not missed the optical drive...yet. The SSHD is great. The fast boot time is wonderful. I did have some reservations about downsizing from a 15 inch screen to a 13, but it has not been an issue. I may never give another dollar to Microsoft. I know, I sound like an Apple fanboy, but at 57 years of age I'm not that passionate about anything. I would make this change again in a heartbeat.

Classic Tom Petty
on August 9, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
Reminds me of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from their "Darn" the Torpedoes era. Very listenable from beginning to end - a true return to form of the old days. Packaging is cheap and similar to many current releases - give me the old plastic jewel case.

Superb Headphones

How Often Used:1-2 times a week
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am older (57) and hard of hearing (I wear hearing aids but not when I listen to music). I have two pair of moderately priced ($100 - $150) Audio-Technica and AKG headphones and have never been pleased with their sound quality when compared to my speaker/subwoofer system. Being at a stage in life where I can afford the price point of the Bowers and Wilkins P7, I spent a lot of time researching higher end headphones. I had narrowed down my search to the P7s and the Sennheiser Momentums and then auditioned both at Best Buy. It was a hard choice, but I found the P7s to be a little more comfortable for my noggin. Both of these are a little too bulky and heavy to use while out and about with a mobile device, but I use them only at home. I have never owned a Bowers and Wilkins product but was well aware of their reputation in the audiophile world. If you appreciate finely crafted products, the P7s will not disappoint you in any way. Their styling (while subjective), material choice, and sound quality (again a subjective characteristic) most definitely met and exceeded my expectations. An all around wonderful product.

It has been answered that this model only has 1 stand position. Why do the first 2 pictures show different stand positions? The front facing shows outer, the back facing shows inner.
There are two positions for the legs. I just attached mine a few days ago.

There is only skip forward capability, not back, and there is no volume control on the earbuds either.

Will I be able to use only the left ear plug by itself when on a phone call? Or is it only the right ear plug is used when on a phone call?
No. The microphone is in the right earbud. You will hear audio in both earbuds on a phone call, but you cannot use just the left bud for a call.

Sony's intelligent noise-cancelling headphones with premium sound elevate your listening experience with the ability to personalize and control everything you hear. Get up to 30 hours of battery life with quick charging capabilities, enjoy an enhanced Smart Listening feature set, and carry conversations hands-free with speak-to-chat.
One of my biggest pet peeves with headphones I have had is that I cannot charge them while I am using them. Can these be charged while in use so I don't have to interrupt what I'm listening to?
Considering that the included charging cord is only 8 inches long, I suspect you cannot use them while listening to them. I went and got a longer cord and my suspicions were correct, they will not turn on when plugged into a charger. Ten minutes on a charger gives you five hours of listening time, so I don't think it is too much of an issue for most people.

Add music to your day with these Sony wireless headphones.

The Quick Charging battery on these over-ear Sony wireless headphones provides up to 35 hours of playback for convenience.
Is the Sony better than the Bose quiet ll When it come s to noised
I have a pair of Bose QuietComfort 25, which is the older, wired version and I found the Sony to be about equivalent to the Bose for their active noise canceling ability. I am very impressed with both manufacturer's product and I think you would be happy with either one.

Bose® QuietComfort® 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones: Enjoy crisp, powerful sound — and quiet that lets you hear your music better — with these Bose® QuietComfort® 25 around-the-ear headphones, which monitor the noise around you and cancel it out, helping you focus on what matters.
Need noise canceling for office work.
Will these work for dictation on a standard office computer (Dell) with Windows and other programs? I will work on transcription of voices (no music involved in my job).
I listen to talk radio with these headphones and they work fine for the spoken word. The computer is outputting the audio through a sound card, so the specific programs you are using on the computer are irrelevant when it comes to this. Even when not listening to anything, they will cut ambient noise once you turn them on (the noise cancellation circuitry is powered by one AAA battery that is in one of the ear cups). When doing this you can even unplug the cord from the headset and it will still work. Some people will sense a slight "pressure" in the headphones as they are producing sound waves to cancel out the outside noise. I have felt this, but it is not nearly as annoying as dealing with the outside noise.
