I didn't take the hint then but I also will never buy any Sony product ever again. I have two headphones from them. Both noise canceling. When the model year passes they push one final firmware to make ANC shit. Then they deny it. I thought if I got the fancier one I would be OK but it doesn't turn on anymore. Very comfortable ear warmers. (Simple shitty solder without support probably. Gotta open it up and look sometime.)
