What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless NoiseGard Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Bluetooth Headphone with Touch Sensitive Control

Exceptionally soft ear pads and very, very, very light weight. Deceptively light for the size.
Noise cancellation is great, functions are great, and they are ridiculously lightweight. Very comfortable too!
They are lightweight and the design is also fantastic.
Overall the best headphones I've found. Lightweight, and Iove the adjustable band.
They are comfortable to wear, and relatively light weight. I highly recommend these if sound quality is important to you.

Sony WH-1000XM2 Premium Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones

Not heavy at all, for being a full size over ear.
The metal bar and size adjuster are very solid but do not make the headphones too heavy.
The materials used are pretty comfy and they fold into a smaller size for travel.
They're easily adjustable for head size and fold flat to lay on your neck when not in use.
The headphones themselves are a bit on the heavy size, but even after a few prolonged listening sessions the weight didn't bother me that much.

What customers say about "Features"

Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless NoiseGard Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Bluetooth Headphone with Touch Sensitive Control

Bluetooth connects easily and quickly. The range isn't insane but, not bad.
The connection to my phone, Chromebook, and laptop PC was quick and easy. The sound was rather good, but definitely not great.
They connect to two devices, so I can listen to music on my PC at work and take a call on my cell phone without having to do anything, it just works.
It works at least twice as well, and covers a much greater frequency range than reduced by the Cowins.
PXC 550 Drops the Bluetooth connection even with my cell phone right next to it.

Sony WH-1000XM2 Premium Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones

These Headphones are unbelievably good. I use them mostly for bluetooth on my TV when everyone is asleep. The noice canceling feature is unreal.
Sound for music with bluetooth on my phone sounds amazing.
Sore and for that reason I returned them. This could just be a personal problem which is why I rated them 4 stars. The Bluetooth distance is really good and sound quality is pretty good as well.
Sound quality is great and the technology that Sony uses to change the range of noise control depending on whether you're walking, sitting, or commuting is amazing.
The NFC function ia nice so you just get it close enough and the earphones automatically connect.

Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless NoiseGard Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Bluetooth Headphone with Touch Sensitive Control

Battery life is amazing I've charged them twice in the 3 months Ive had them.
Battery life is good. Not the best but, not even close to the worst.
The battery easily lasts for two weeks of commuting. I have also flown with them several times and used these for the in flight entertainment, wearing them for 4-5 hours straight.
Excellent battery life. Built in mic can be activated to hear outside noise.
Battery life isn't the full 20 hours with noise cancelling.

Sony WH-1000XM2 Premium Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones

The noise canceling feature is great on airplanes, and the battery life let's me fly long hours in comfort and quiet.
Long battery life and great sound. They also are great at cancelling noise.
These headphones are incredibly comfortable and have a very long battery life.
Also, the battery life is very good so I’m very happy.
These headphones have an outstanding battery life. I flew half way around the world listening to music the whole time. I arrived with half the battery left.
