Sleek and contemporary design caters to modern taste
Touch controls are really seamless once you get a hand of it
Non-folding design definitely reduces fragility anxiety
Reasonable comfort with soft ear cups allows long hours usage
Bass-heavy sound profile will appeal to listeners who prefer a heavier low-end.
ANC is definitely still Sony's stronghold
With around 30 hours of playtime on a single charge (with ANC activated), the battery life is commendable.

Attractiveness to fingerprints
Inconsistent sound tuning as the emphasis on bass often overshadows the mids and highs, leading to a somewhat skewed sound profile.
Limited soundstage
Affordability almost never synonymies with Sony
