Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using things headphones for work and I will say it's worth the money. I use these headphones for work and and can say these headphones exceeded my expectations. They're comfortable and can be used non-stop for 8+ work days without causing any headaches, or sweat. The audio is crisp and with the app I can change the mode settings based on my location to see how much noise cancellation I want. The headphones come with a small travel case, aux cable (if you don't want to use bluetooth), and a charger. Con: The microphone isn't the best Pro: I have 4 budgies and have been able to block them out thanks to these headphones when I'm working!

Amazing.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, however my only gripe is that they’re kinda loose if you have a smaller head. That being said the sound quality is still amazing, as well as the battery life. I use them for hours and I don’t have to worry about charging.

Best looking headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a college student, I have used these headphones almost every day walking from class to class as well as studying. They have the best sound and bass you'll find in any other headphone and they also work extremely well when working out. My favorite thing about them is that they are stylish. A lot of other headphones stick out and look too big on your head but these are slim and work amazing.

Perfect headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. Excellent bass, yet clear vocals. I use it for rap music, but all other music sounds excellent. I am using them wired mostly, so I cannot comment on the use of the noise canceling yet. But I have tried it out, and it blocks out a lot of noise. Beautiful matte look in midnight blue. I love the case and accessories. The only issue I can point out is the top of my head hurts a bit from the headband after an hour use, but its not enough to knock a star off. The ear pads are very plush and comfy.

Great choice prev gen noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are comfortable on the ear, have excellent noise cancellation, and top sound quality when using Tidal Hi-Fi Plus listening. I give them a four-star rating because I can't get used to the touch sensitive controls and I still prefer physical buttons on the edge of an ear cup. Also they infrequently loose Bluetooth connection at random times, however I suspect his is my phone and not the headphones. They were a welcome upgrade from my older pair of Sony headphones with older USB-micro connection. Definitely worth the purchase when on sale.

Best purchase of 2020
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely fantastic headphones. The earcups are very soft and comfortable. The headphones are not so tight that they hurt my head after a few hours. They are tight enough that they stay on securely when I move my head about, though. The headband's cushion is comfortable and don't flatten my hair. I've been wearing these every day for my 8-hour work from home days and can confirm that the battery life, sound quality, and comfort are top notch. Noise cancellation is excellent and even when I'm listening to quiet classical music I can't hear my family talk right next to me. Absolutely fantastic. Pairing with my iphone xr was a breeze with the matching sony headphones app.

Posted .Hi OctavioV,
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying the excellent noise cancellation, sound, and battery life of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. A key feature that makes their noise cancellation so effective is the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, which works in real-time to analyze and process noise signals over 700 times per second. This allows the headphones to block out a wider range of high and mid-frequency sounds, giving you a truly immersive and distraction-free listening experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!
