Solid pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far these headphones have been great. Comfy feel to them, dont slip off when I use them for running on a treadmill or lifting weights. I bought silicone covers for my ear muffs that are specifically designed for this model of sony headphones. And if you need to buy specific parts to the headphones then amazon is great for extra ear muffs or the leather on the top middle of the headphones. The noise cancellation is really nice. My mind set was come in looking to buy bose headphones but after trying the sony samples, these were much better quality. I give these a 5 outta 5.

The best investment!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones totally deliver on the noise cancelling feature. I bought the headphones to reduce the noise from my upstairs neighbor who walks like a stampeding elephant. I wear them 24/7 to listen to music or watch TV. I would say the only issue is when you connect 2 devices via Bluetooth, there is a bit of interference.

Posted .Hi Shaya,
We are delighted to hear the WH-1000XM4 headphones are delivering on noise cancellation and helping you find peace from your noisy neighbor—that is exactly what we aim for! Regarding the slight interference when connecting to two devices via Bluetooth, we recommend using the Sony | Headphones Connect app to change the Bluetooth connection quality setting from "Priority on Sound Quality" to "Priority on Stable Connection." This small adjustment often resolves connection stability issues and interference when using the multipoint feature with two active sources.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Great sound, comfortable to wear, noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use around the house some. Bought for a trip that got canceled. Used recently on a flight and worked great! Plan to use on a road trip in the near future. Have beats flex and a few others similar. The ones that go in ear work good for most part and blocks all noise. My sony are over ear making more comfortable. Blocked all the noise of the plane out. Blocks tv and stuff in house. When someone comes up and takes to be it let's their voice in, I can cover one side and let noise in, I talk and it let's noise in, all automatically. When I take off it pauses my phone or tablet it's connected to. Sound quality is get. They are expensive but worth it if you catch a sale.

Very nice headphones but the BTH connection
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are very nice headphones with excellent noise cancellation qualities and I originally purchased it bc of the awesome reviews I’ve seen online however I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this but sometimes the headphones will unconnect randomly and if you use the duo connection for two devices. On most occasions the headphones will first connect to the other device before the one you want to if that other device is close enough. I use an iPhone XS Max and an iPad Pro 3rd Gen as the two devices I use the duo connection on. I found that this problem usually gets solved when you turn off this feature but because I use it so much and find it inconvenient to turn it off and on through the Sony app before using the headphones I just deal with it (that or I just move my other device really far away so that it won’t connect to it). If it weren’t for that I’d give these headphones a full 5 stars but yeah this is basically the only problem I had with them. Leaving on a good note though these headphones have the best battery time I’ve ever seen having upgraded from my regular airpod pros. After 5hrs of use these headphones still have enough juice in them to go another 3hrs! Def recommend to anyone looking for a good noise canceling headphones with long battery life.

Perfect pair of headphones!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ll keep this short. These are the best headphones I have used for music I feel like they may be a little over priced as almost 400 dollars for any pair of headphones feels like it’s too much lol but luckily I have gotten these on sale! Pick these up as soon as possible! My one gripe and I’m definitely in the minority is that every time I turn on the headphones it goes into noise cancellation mode automatically I wish I could turn that off. I’m not the biggest fan of noise cancellation as it messes with my hearing a bit and makes my ears feel funny.

Comfort, quiet, and AMAZING sound
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I looked for a very long time to find a pair of comfortable headphones that have great noise cancelling (flying even during covid) and amazing sound. I can say that these more than meet the bill. I have ZERO complaints about the sound. The noise cancelling is amazing - especially with the ability to temporarily let ambient noise in to hear overhead announcements and the speak mode. The comfort, while important, was beyond expectation. Anyone that wears glasses or now has a face covering on for hours at a time knows just how bad the pressure can be behind the ear. I'm happy to say that I have worn these for many hours through airports and flights and was very happy with the comfort.

Overall pretty nice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality and product quality. I have an extra large head though and they’re pretty tight. I usually end up with a headache if I use them longer than an hour or two. Great battery life. Sometimes they don’t cooperate with Bluetooth. They’ll be connected to something that isn’t even on and I have to go delete that option before I can use them elsewhere.
