These are fantastic ANC headphones.
At $304 vs the competition these are the best bang for your buck.

IMO at $450 it’s a toss up between these and the QC35, but at almost $150 less, these headphones are the obvious choice.

100% buy these. They're not *as* comfortable as the Bose, but they have more features, and support more Bluetooth codecs.

For example, the QC35's only support SBC (the default low bandwidth code) and AAC, whereas these support SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD and LDAC. They also feature DSEE HX and S-Master HX, whatever those are (I have DSEE HX turned off, but from what the app says, it increases sound quality but comes at a cost of battery life).

Android phones support AAC and aptX. Some newer Android phones support aptX HD, and Sony phones support LDAC.

Apple phones only support AAC, though MacBook's support aptX (and I've heard tale that the Apple TV 4th Gen/4K also uses aptX).

Good price with psp

Been using them for a few weeks now. They seem to have gotten a bit more comfy over time and don’t bother me as much as when they were new. Sound is not the best but more than adequately good sounding compared to other anc headphones. Overall I’m happy with them

Alot of the so called "features" are just marketing gimmicks. Don't be fooled. Sony these days don't make good sound quality. If you just care about bass, then they are ok. Sound quality? No.

How does this PSP thing work? From the looks of it on the Source website, it's a corporate discount. Or can individual customers get it as well?

Can the PSP discount be combined with the $25 off signup coupon as well?

I've been waiting for this sale for two weeks. I already managed to find a buyer for my QC25s this week for $200, so the timing was perfect.

Edit: to answer the last poster's question: I tried to combine with an old email signup discount coupon that I hadn't ended up using, and my attempt was denied. Still a great price.

No you can not. Unless something changed.

Very good headphones - I have a pair (bought at 379 and still feel that it was worth it) and use them on the bus.

Great sound, great noise cancellation and so far Bluetooth has been rock solid with my Pixel 2.

better than a decent deal for these Sony SOTA BT cans. picked mine up on a Visions pm for $280.xx & no regrets. amazing ANC for in plane & other noisy enviroments + SQ isnt too bad either. not as syrupy as the BBproV1/2 but a bit more audiophile (if that term exists for BT cans that is) excepting a slight mid nasality which manifests mostly with vocals. that said, it's not a deal breaker nor does it even bother me but it's not as natural sounding to my ears. ofcos YMMV as our ears are different.

other than that, build quality is good & I've no issues with comfort. not sure if its worth 2+ times more than an onsale BBproV2 but it's def better in my books.

usually with PMs, I print out the page. if its PSP or other prices not normally shown on site, then I print the checkout page. that said, I really don't remember if I PM'd it from the Source or Amazon or another retailer.
