    Good product.

    Ordered as a gift. I was able to test it briefly. As I already had the xm4 in true wireless, I was able to test the circum-aural. The noise reduction is still the best I have tested. Very far from the bose and apple.
    Overall a very good product and as usual, nothing to complain about LDLC. 20/20

    Almost perfect,

    I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product, which is very good, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
    On the product, permanent micro cuts, without being able to solve the problem. I am always installed at two meters from the source without moving and it happens about every 5 minutes. The sound quality is very good, the ergonomics not always obvious, the keyboard on the right earpiece is inaccurate. If someone could help me to solve this problem of micro cuts it would be perfect.

    BlueTooth limitation accentuated in Windows 10

    I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to check it out and see if it's working properly.It seems that the result on the audio communication part is due to two causes:- limitation Bluetooth, which passes the sound in mono, to be able to send the sound of the microphone in parallel- disastrous Windows 10 bluetooth drivers (works very well on my Android mobile) - therefore often unusable quality:(- limitation Windows, it is necessary to change audio device regularly to pass from multimedia audio to audio communicationI attribute this result to Microsoft, rather than Sony - return anyway
