Buy them if you can get them for the right price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros -Sounds great. This is how I want to listen to music. -Noise cancelation works great. Negates alot of sound although not as much as I thought without music playing. - Innovative app. Cons - Speak to Chat feature is gimmicky. If you sing along to songs like I do then it is practically useless you use it for podcasts. - Touch controls don't react sometimes. Toss ups - I don't feel like the Battery last the advertised 30 hours but its good enough.

A very good purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first bluetooth headphone. I've used it for two months and it is a wonder. Noise cancelling is very good. It is surprising when I come to ambient....I realize how silent the noise cancelling is. I think the sound quality is excellent. A true audiophile might not think so but I have been very happy. The build quality is very good and the unit is light as a feather. This headphone is a deal when BB puts it on sale for 278.00.

My experience.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Headphones allow you to hear things in certain songs you wouldn't be able to do on regular everyday headphones. These have the comfort of everyday headphones, however, the immersion within the headphones itself is an experience—a unique one.

WH-1000XM4 v. QC-35II
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was between these and the Bose QC-35II's but after doing a side by side comparison of the two (using friends pairs of each) ended up going with the Sony WH-1000XM4's...especially since I snagged them when they were on sale, which I have to say after a month of use, I definitely would pick these over the Bose even at their regular price (~$30 more than the Bose). Quality built, exceptional sound, battery lasts forever and super easy to use.

Love Sony's Sound Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the features on thus noise cancelling headphone. It offers many of the same features as Apple and Bose. I've always been satisfied with Sony's sound quality. They're also comfy, even after hours of editing photos, and the grey color matches much of my equipment which give it aesthetic bonus points.

Great value 4.5 star
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Giving this a 4 only because the app is a little buggy. Has dual pairing options but the switches are not consistent. Headphones themselves are really well built and still top tier considering this is a dated model.

Compact, comfortable, overall great.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound quality. Noise canceling is the best i have come across. I love the fact that i can fold them up and travel with them. Battery life is insane, took them to work and used them for four eight hour days. Towards the end of the fourth i got the low battery warning. Overall very happy with my purchase.

World Class Audio Quality and Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise canceling feature is absolutely fantastic! Has nice features to integrate with apps on your mobile devices to adjust the headphone settings, including acoustical options. Very comfortable to wear for extended periods. Love this color of blue. I have not tried all of its competitors out, but multiple reviews rate these the best noise cancelling headphones in the world (compared to any brand and price point). Love them!
