Good quality headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones with amazing audio quality. I choose those because they are light and foldable, plus they have wire and adapters for the airplane entertainment. The noise cancelling is great, even with screaming baby right behind my seat, I was able to relax and enjoy my music on the flight.

Amazing, Intuitive Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony WH-1000XM4s have to have been my best quarantine purchase. They are my first foray into the world of noise cancelling headphones, and they surely don't disappoint. The noise cancelling feature is absolutely amazing, in that they cancel or reduce background ambient noises to a slight hum and greatly reduce the noise level of things that are louder and closer to the wearer. This allows for the best enjoyment of music in a more blissful environment. I also make good use of the quick attention feature, which requires the user to place their hand over the right earcup to pump in surrounding sounds and noises that allow one to have a quick conversation or listen for announcements (maybe if you are waiting for a flight or a train, for example). Of course, the same effect can be achieved by simply removing the headphones, or really, just the left earcup. Inside the left earcup is a proximity sensor that detects if you are wearing the XM4s - moving it away from your ear or taking the headphones off completely pauses whatever you are listening too and automatically resumes it once the headphones are back on your head. The touch controls on the right earcup are intuitive, and easy to learn as well. Lastly, don't forget about the accompanying app! From here you can create your own customized sound profiles if you don't like the way the headphones sound out of the box. There are also other features that may interest you that you can toggle on/off from the app as well, such as Speak-to-Chat (which is like quick attention mode but uses the sound of your voice to trigger it) and Adaptive Sound Control (which may toggle Noise Cancelling off if the headphones detect you are walking a lot so you are aware of traffic/your surroundings while you walk around the city) as well as others that I won't go into! Overall, a worthy purchase - these often go on sale for around $300 or if you have some Best Buy gift cards and want to treat yourself - this is the way. But hey, if you want to pay full price, I won't judge you - these are well worth it!

Great but hmm.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and connectivity. Some laptops may have issues connecting. I added a bluetooth 4.0 dongle and it worked fine but when a call rings when connected to both the phone and Laptop while using microsoft teams I notice that the Laptop switches to the laptop microphone which if you are not aware public will hear you very low. I know it is a microsoft issue. It would been better if the cable for wired connection would have had a micropone so that in this case we could just go fully two way comunication wired . I did it by purchasing a cable and a Lavalier Mic and a spliting cable for both headphones and Mic. Another good feature would have been to have bluetooth connected to the phone and have audio and mic wired to the laptop . Again both devices can be connected via bluetooth and works great but the laptop is not reliable.

Traveling companion
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this for travel, mainly on airplanes. Excellent sound quality, maybe a little bass heavy depending on your preferences, but you can correct for that. Good noise cancellation, and the transparency and passive modes are good features. I like the combination of physical buttons and the touch sensitive controls for forward/back, pause/play, and volume. Not as comfortable on the top of my head as I remember my Bose QCs were, foam could be softer or deeper.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent investment, it lasts long, has amazing sound quality, and is simply comfortable to wear, but they do start weighing on you after you have worn them for a while, like for 3-4 hours straight.

What a refresing sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always wanted these headphones as I knew the quality of sound. I have to say I am more than impressed with them. They are comfortable, look nice and the sound is breathtaking. Walking around with them is so good as you don't miss any notes in the music. I have to say I own a pair of BOSE you guys have to work hard to compete with SONY this time. I am retiring all the other headphones I own and keeping this one alone. The price is not bad at all. They do not look cheap.

Just dooooooeeeeet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great. Love the sound quality and the ANC is tooop notch. There was a garbage truck going crazy outside of the empty warehouse I'm working inside of, and I cycled into noise cancelling...Holy crap it's like it wasn't even there. Great buy, fantastic battery compared to my WF-1000XM3 earbuds I got a year or so back. If you can spring for these, definitely do it. Paired easily with my iPhone and Macbook Pro both with and without the app. App is also much improved from my first experiences.
