Great headphones, garbage controls
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones look and sound great. I prefer them to my bose headphones. That being said, the touch controls on the headphones are a huge steaming pile of garbage. Whoever had the bright idea to implement it was either in to deep to back out or purely clueless to what people want in their products. I have 20 year old vending machine headphones with better controls.

JUST DO IT ALREADY
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned the Bose NC 700 for these... After using both for about 2 weeks 8 hours a day for work, I can confidently give my results.... BOSE had the better NC and phone call quality... However, Sony wins on every other aspect you can imagine... Sound quality is substantially better with music and voices in general.. Not to mention you can also adjust the frequencies to your own liking.. The app is a little weird and not every feature is fully explained on the Sony headphones, but I am so glad I got them.. There are already a lot of lengthy reviews but basically between these two, I would go sony every time.. Noise cancelling is amazing but just not quite up to par with bose in my opinion.. There are different reviews stating otherwise but IN AN OFFICE SETTING, I can hear my keyboard when I type having the sony headphones on.. With BOSE, I could not hear my keyboard... However I keep hearing sony blocks more overall frequency but I have just not been in the situation to compare.

Best wireless headphones EVER!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is awesome, so comfortable to wear. I use them to listen to audiobooks without disturbing anyone around me. Also late night TV bothers no one else and I can hear like it was a theatre. Stereo surround sound is awesome!

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.4.5 / 5 Purchased for my wife - who shares my office space. She notes that during my conference calls she can still hear me; however, if I am not actively talking, the background noise gets completely drowned out. Not disappointed about the noise cancelling, however, not 100% impressed with it. Battery life is great, music quality is great, and build is great.

Posted .Hi tdyk,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the Sony WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the battery life, sound quality, and design of the headphones. The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.

Great!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent with just a few minor issues that annoy me. Noise cancelling feature is great, helps to keep the noise down much more in this family setting I am in (kids, dogs, ect). My biggest positive is the charging and battery life. You charge this thing for 5 minutes and I swear it can still last you for two full days!

Some great features. One annoying problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: The noise cancellation is awesome. It is on par or slightly better than the Bose QC 35 II. It is more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time than the Bose (at least for my ears). Cons: The biggest problem I have is that when restarting the headphones, the volume always starts at maximum. I am using the iPhone app. Sometimes the volume control on the iphone app is not responsive when on a call.
