    The phone wont sell at 949. Even with the 350€ headphones will still struggle. Sony should get rid of their smartphone division all together. I dont know anyone that uses a Sony phone.

    Coincidentally, today's Irish Times had a review of these headphones, in case anyone's considering this offer and wants to know if they're any good.

    I have these headphones. They're excellent. I had a crying baby in the same row as me on a flight last week and I couldn't hear a thing when I had them on. Gesture controls are good as well. They're zippy.

    I've owned a few Sony phones and agree with Dan. Their phones have been rubbish in recent years.

    It does not bode well for their mobile division when they are losing hundreds of millions each year. (850 million EUR for 2018).

    the sizing ratio of that phone is off - too tall.

    it is true about sony phones - it's been years since they have been competitive from a price/value point of view.

    Whatever about their phones, they make great headphones. Have my current pair for about 3 years, one of the best buys I've ever made.

    I can guarantee that you don't have XM3s for about 3 years!

    Went through a phase of buying Sony phones for a while. They were great in some ways (cameras very good) but lag and battery life made them utterly frustrating.
