Use them specifically on long flights and it cuts down the aircraft noise a good deal. They’re comfy and look great! Also amazing sound and you’re able to modify your sound settings. They do get hot tho!

Best noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from the WH1000XM2. Headphone is much lighter and more comfy than the XM2. Sound quality is almost the same, but noise cancelling is definitely better. Can't wait to fly again in a plane to really test these out.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as a gift for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. She's been raving about the noise cancelling, especially when I'm playing games with my friends because I'm quite literally screaming. She uses it to dance and workout too and they fit perfectly and don't fall out even when she's moving around a lot. Looked up reviews comparing this model to the XM5 and didn't see much of a difference. She just liked the design of the XM4 more

In love with these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful pair of headphones in design and sound quality. I absolutely love these and it’s noise canceling especially for painting or studying. If my current ones broke I would definitely buy them again despite the price. The battery life is excellent as well. I always forget to charge my devices and then only realize until they are at a low percentage but with these, they last me so long without charging them. I’d say about 2-3 days of use for about 4 hours each day which is how I use them.

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These may be the perfect headphones for you, they are almost perfect for me. I am coming from a wired pair of sennheiser headphones that cost over 4 times the price of these, and surprisingly these headphones exceeded my expectations in both sound quality and build quality. Here’s My small list of things I think you should consider 1.) The fit. I’d recommend trying them on In store before purchasing, for me the ear cups are a little to shallow to wear for longer than an hour comfortably. 2.) the bass, I might be nitpicking but in my opinion this bass just sounds too muddy, regardless of how I change it in the app. Don’t mistake what I consider “shortcomings” as a detractor, they are highly rated for a reason and overall I was impressed, and I believe most people wouldn’t notice the annoyances I did, and will be satisfied with the positive things like the amazing noise canceling, ambient sound that can be triggered by placing a hand on a ear cup, connecting to 2 devices, the option for auxiliary (încluded) , and I got 20hrs with noise cancellation on a charge and actually 32hrs without noise canceling.

THIS is the noise cancelling you want!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't typically review products or give unsolicited recommendations, but I've gotta say, if you need headphones with some SERIOUSLY effective noise cancelling, these are what you want. I loaned mine to my boyfriend last night so he could watch TV while I practiced drums, and he fell asleep on the couch with them for a solid 2 hours while I banged on drums 6 feet from his head.

Sony wireless headphones better than previous
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of the sound is exceptional. Connects quickly to my desktop. Only downside is not having volume controls even though the temporary sound reduction is a nice feature. Fit around the ears is very comfortable.

Good but bit pricey!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent product! Still learning all these headphones can do! My recent flight to LA was a good test for this product and it did well! The noise canceling, ambient noise features and fasforward/rewind/pause features worked very good, love the mid night blue color! The wireless and bluetooth capabilities were good, paired fairly quick with my phone, TV, AV receiver and laptop. Not sure if it's needed or not but the app for these headphones helped me out, so I'd suggest downloading and using the app for these headphonesl!! Too early yet to give 5 stars, so far so good! I need to see how durable this product will be over time before giving 5 stars! Bit pricey though but thanks for BB gift card, previous BB credit on acct and Christmas gift card from coworker, I was able to afford these headphones, don't think I would have purchased them had that not been the case! So far however, this product is good and I would recommend them if you can afford them but if not, try and wait til they go on sale!!

Recommend for hyperacusis
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these to help with hyperacusis and auditory processing issues and I recommend them. The active noise cancelling is great and surprisingly adjustable through the app (which you need to download to use them). I wear these every day and they especially help in places that are loud or have a lot of background noise. They are comfortable and the battery lasts a long time

wonderful, perfect, amazing, etc etc
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for two things when purchasing these headphones: comfort for my large head and excellent ANC to spare me the sound of my sisters when they're on discord voice chat nearby. I've tried a handful of other sets of headphones that have managed one of the two requirements, but never both. The Sony's manage both and have great sound to my untrained ears. The only ding I'd give them is the touch controls in general, but I tend to use these with my laptop and control most aspects with that rather than the headphones. Still 5 stars because I wasn't planning to toy with touch controls much anyway and the thing that matters (ANC) has a physical button.

Screw Amazon go to Best Buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily the best option out there. Price point seems high. Overall worth the cost though. Listed for $349 I waited and thought about the purchase. They went on sale to $278. Glad I waited but after buying them. I would still pay $349. I initially tried them on at the store 2 months before purchase. The noise cancelling alone is worth it. If you're hesitant don't worry about it. Best buy has an amazing return policy. I've listened to these things for days without charging. They hold a charge in my experience longer than advertised. Charge time is super quick as well. Comes with a great carry case as well. Pro tips watch the how to videos to learn how to use them properly.
