Excellent Noise Cancellation and 360 Reality Audio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its definitely worth buy, i already have Bose 700 , and it does pretty good job on NC but music signature is pretty normal and lacking Bass. Pros of Sony - Excellent NC - Switching Ambient Control based on Status - 360 Reality Audio is excellent. - Music is really balanced. - Has EQ to adjust music based on signature - Very good battery life compared to Bose - Cushion Ear cup are pretty comfortable and soft - Bluetooth connection seamless between iphone or Sony Music Connect App - Also it comes with stat where you can see your headphone usage - Touch sensor are good but could be better - You can adjust ambient noise just covering Right Ear cup while speaking, it will then allow noises in , reduces music sound Cons - Noise Cancelations is pretty Good but Outside I think Bose is better with little more points. But I would say 100 NC is not also advisable during transit. - Touch sensor is responsive but could be more efficient Overall I would give 8.5/10 based on Build , Music Quality features, NC Bose 700 - 7/10

Great Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been looking for a pair of bluetooth headphones for work and running, and after seeing these on sale I got them. Battery lasts a long time. The noise cancelling feature is maybe my favorite part about them. I can still hear if someone needs to grab my attention, but it blocks out all of the other noises I dont want to hear. Music and audiobooks sound great. I recommend.

Compare favorably to Airpods Max
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down best wireless ANC around IMO. Lots of great features, sound & noice cancelling. Compares favorably, IMO to Airpods Max even if evenly priced, which of course they’re not (these are 50% less). These are very comfortable, much lighter on your head than Airpods Max which gave me a headache. Sound quality very similar. Noise cancelling very similar. Not as good ambient sound. Can connect to two devices simultaneously (i.e. TV & iPhone at same time) 30+ hours listening time vs 20 from Airpods Max. Includes aux cable & hard travel case. Airpods Max do not include aux cable & it’s case is flimsy & annoyingly required to keep headphones at low power state. Sony’s charge via USB C. Airpods Max do not, insisting on Lightning cable. I prefer Sony’s over Airpods Max & think they’re the best bluetooth noise cancelling headphones on the market today.

||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really it’s like 4.5/5 because I wish the headphones could switch more easily between devices. But the noise cancelling customisation is top tier. They are very comfy and the fact there is an option to connect these to a 3.5mm jack makes these absolutely the best. I have only charged these like 2 times in the last year. They have great battery life and the standby time is also amazing

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The customization and sound quality is really amazing especially with a little bit of tweaking through the app and it allows for excellent music and the noise cancelation is pretty good but that is expected for the price point, its able to block out most noise whether it be with the adjustable feature it has within the app and on the physical buttons and the soft padding on the cups and head band allow for wearing the headphones for a pretty long time. That being said sometimes it randomly disconnects and takes about 2 to 9 seconds to reconnect.

Posted .Hi Honestly,
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying the amazing sound quality and effective noise cancellation of your WH1000XM4 headphones. The comfort features, like the soft padding, are a key design element that allows for extended listening sessions.
Regarding the random disconnections, we understand how frustrating that can be. While these headphones are designed for a stable connection, factors like wireless interference from Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices, or physical obstacles can sometimes cause this. For a more stable connection, you can use the Sony | Sound Connect app to switch the "Bluetooth Connection Quality" setting from "Prioritize Sound Quality" to "Prioritize Stable Connection". This can often resolve such issues by prioritizing a strong signal over the highest audio bitrate.
In case the problem persists, please make sure to reach to out technical support at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones for further assistance.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have an excellent day!

Best Noise Cancelling without Breaking the Bank
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about these headphones is stellar. Battery life, noise cancellation, comfort, style. I use them when traveling the most, especially when flying and they’ve not only lived up to the 20-hour battery life after 6 months of frequent use, but the noise cancellation makes it trivial to fall asleep, even during take off! I use an iPhone and, while AirPods have the best user interface in my opinion, I have no qualms with the way these headphones work. I think the only place they’re somewhat lacking is with the all plastic design, but it gets the job done.

Greatest noise cancelling headphones out there!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise cancelling and sound quality in the business that I have heard. I work in a noisy machine shop and this will kill the drone and angry screeching sounds of metal being cut. Helps me concentrate on my work and also tune out my sons video games or youtube at home. Very comfortable and battery life has been great. The EQ with the app along with adaptive listening settings gps tag your locations to dial in correct amount of ambient noise or full noise cancelling depending on how you register the location. For example at work I use full noise cancelling, walking, i set to wind reduction, home some ambient noise depending how loud my son is blasting youtube in the living room. Also has a feature that when you start talking it cuts noise cancelling while you can conversate with someone then it will resume music or movie after you stop talking for a bit or double tap right ear phone to resume play. Have to give a great big thanks to love of my life my wife who bought me these for our 15th anniversary.

Best headphones in their price point
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has been in the audio industry Since 1950’s, and it shows. Before buying these headphones, I tried on a similar pair for double the price, the AirPods Max, which had great noise cancellation, decent base, but lacking customization and portability. This is where the Sony headphones triumph over apple, the headphones come with their own app where you can customize the EQ and button functionality. They get regular updates, the comfort makes it so you can wear these for a long period, or until the long lasting battery runs out. Not to mention the traveling case with a plane adapter and pc adapter to use. These headphones are meant to travel with their user without being scared to break the bank for great audio and industry standard noise cancellation.

Flagship for a reason
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If these are your first "premium" headphones, you will be impressed. If you are moving up from other models, you will ALSO be impressed. I own a few models of Sony headphones, and these are the flagship for a reason. Even moving up from the M2 of these was night and day. I also own the WF-1000xm3 earphones, and this is that much better. NC is next level, ambient noise mode is greatly improved, and the comfort is smooth. USB-C charging is a great standard, but the big draw is multi connection bluetooth. I never thought I would use it until I was watching a show on my tablet, and it paused the show and rang through from my cell phone. Seamless. App support is fully there, and even has Sony's "lossless" upscaling format. Battery life seems great so far, and it comes with a semi-hard case. Can be plugged in to 3.5mm wired plug, including a dual prong airplane adapter.

I travel heavily for work and the noise cancellation is optimal. Zero noise from the airline or any crying babies makes this a plus to have. Allows for easy focus on what you’re listening. The sound is impeccable. Crystal clear and I don’t need go above 75% of volume capacity to hear at a good volume. Connects easily and the sound adaptive feature makes listening at home or on the plane seamlessly simple. Comes in a nice case with charge cable and aux cable for connection to in flight entertainment.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these over the new ones. If you prefer on the sound quality side such as bass etc this is it. But if you are looking for noise cancellation might need to reconsider it. I would compare the sound system and noise cancellation as the AirPods Pro gen 2. Battery life is amazing, If you was to ask me, these would last me a good 2 weeks. Give it a try if you don’t like it you can always return it with the 7-30 days policy.
