One of the best over-ear wireless BT headsets
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned Bose QC 35 IIs, but I'm happy to be back in the Sony Eco-system. The ear cups are very comfortable and can be worn for hours at a time with minimal discomfort. A lot of convenient features such as the touch gestures, USB-C charging, and "hand over right earcup to talk to people" make this headset one of my favorite. The sound quality is on-par with the Bose, and I think the headband is more comfortable.

Posted .Hi Evilmanta, Awesome! Glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM4! Intelligent and intuitive, the WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thanks for choosing Sony. -Carl

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is great and they're so comfortable. I've had them for almost two years now, and with heavy usage they have great build quality and show almost no wear. Only issue I have ever noticed is an issue pairing them with Samsung TVs, but this may be Samsung's problem.

Great sound and NC function
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphones. I like to use these to drown out ambient noise while watching a movie. With the 360 sound imbedded into these phones it really immerses you into what you’re watching on screen. I actually prefer this to my sound bar. Also, the bass great but is not too punchy. The noise cancelling feature is my main selling point on these: drowns out a city bus and even on the subway. It may be a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for.

Excellent Headphones, Poor microphone
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to love these headphones, but the microphone quality isnt clear. Noise cancelling is top notch. Super comfortable. Audio is excellent. App works with ease. Auto Bluetooth switching between laptop and phone is amazing. The one negative I cant get over is the microphone quality. I have to use these for work conference calls, and the people on the other side had trouble understanding me. I'll had to return these for a pair with better mic quality. If you plan on using these as just headphones and the occasional phone call, I would definitely buy these. If you need clarity of voice for conference calls and audio blocking, maybe try something else like the Bose or Surface Headphone.

Posted .Hi rh612, thank you so much for the 4 Star review. We are pleased you are satisfied with the incredible noise canceling function, amazing sound quality, multipoint connection function, and comfortable fit of these headphones.

Headphones Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to pair with my tv, and very easy to charge when I am done using them. The only complaint I have is the volume adjustment is awkwardly positioned, it is too easy to toggle the channel switch for the base unit. The sound quality is good and the headphones are comfortable.

Buy these, you won't regret it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these headphones. Purchased a few goodies over the holiday sale period, and these are by far our favorite. Outperform our BOSE headphones, AirPod Pros, and Jabra Elite 85Ts (yes, I know these are not earbuds). The crazy good battery life, excellent spatial/3D/360 sound through Amazon Music, makes these an even better deal. Easily 20+ hours on a single charge. Buy them, you won't regret it.

Sony makes the best headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfy, easy to wear, especially with glasses. It has 3 modes: Noise Cancelling, Ambient Sound and Off and the noise cancelling is very good. There are some minor things like the battery and sensitivity to voice but nothing that is hard to get used to. It also folds up and the case is very hard so it protects. Overall I love these headphones.

Pricey but worth it if you care about music.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven’t test a different set of headphones but they sound really good, noise canceling its unreal when you have music on the only thing I notice is that they get kinda warm in your ear when they are self power, but I use them to edit videos with the cable in comes with and they don’t create any heat so they are more confortable to use. The only thing I didn’t like was the feature that silence music when you talk I think is way to sensitive but you can turn it off so after that there is no issues. Two things that I really like is the feature that you put your hand over the right headphone to listen the outside, and the other one is that you can change between 2 different Bluetooth devices and change between them very easy.
