One of the most critically acclaimed Bluetooth headphones. I love Bluetooth headphones and I want the best quality. This has many cool features like the Ambient Sound mode and Quick attention mode which means you are able to listen to your surroundings without taking the headphones off. Great for conversations or train announcements etc.
The main competitor the Bose qc35 is £330 and has less features although some reviews say that for long term listening the qc35 is extremely comfortable.

My 'Used - Very Good ' ones from the warehouse just turned up. Earpads did look a bit worn at first, but some anti bacterial wipes and they look as good as new now. No scratches at all despite the listing saying they had cosmetic imperfections.
Fell in love with these cans when I tested them in John Lewis (incredible noise cancelling) so couldn't turn them down at £184.
Indeed, it must be impacting sales, more worryingly, there's always a huge amount of them in Amazon Warehouse with 'item may come repackaged' so I suspect many of these are reconditioned items that have experienced issues, or otherwise people slinging them back on either hearing of the issue, or seeing the beginnings of the problem (minuscule hairline cracks that will grow until they break).
Sony recently sold a load of reconditioned 1000x on their site for £169 (deal was listed here) but reading of the way with which Sony have handled this is enough to put me off purchasing them. With Amazon at least you can return eaily, but Sony have acted very poorly indeed - wear and tear? Sure.

Beware of these, worth taking the extra warranty as they will crack:
