Consider these for premium over-the-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to own a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones and they were great but needed to be replaced after having them for over 6 years. I was going to purchase the most up-to-date Bose headphones but also wanted to do some research on other competitive brands. After watching countless videos and getting a better lay of the land, I was able to make a decision on these Sony wireless noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones. They sounds very pristine and I love the 360 audio feature....it's really freaky at first but it's definitely a one-of-a-kind experience! They also feel much more premium than the headphones I had before so I have confidence these will last a long time.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. I never tried the new Sony line of the noise cancelling headphones but I was pleasantly surprised. However, I feel like using them to talk on the phone is not so good, the other person has trouble hearing me when it is noisy around me. Also it comes with a bag and an airplane adapter and a cable which is very convenient.

Posted .Hi DanS!
We are thrilled to hear you were pleasantly surprised by your WH-1000XM4 headphones! It’s awesome that you’re enjoying the excellent sound and comfortable fit and having the handy bag, cable and airplane adapter makes it super easy to take them anywhere.
Thanks for being upfront about your experience with phone calls in noisy spots. The headphones use smart microphones and noise cancelling tech to help catch your voice, but in busy places, it can sometimes be tough for the other person to hear you.
If you often need to take calls in busy places, trying to find a quieter spot or adjusting features like Sidetone in the Sony | Sound Connect app can sometimes make your voice clearer for the other person.
Thanks for choosing Sony. We really appreciate you sharing your feedback, it helps us make our products even better!
Sincerely,
Estefany
