Great Seamless multiple-device pairing!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Headphones are great! Switching connection from one device to another is very easy and happens very quickly. The noise canceling is also amazing, with music playing, you won’t hear anything from the outside. The sound quality is great, I love that you can customize the sound through the app, for example, if you want a higher or lower bass, it’s easy to customize. I would recommend!

Mixed Bag
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfort: 4/5 Comfortable on my big head. Not as comfortable as the Bose 700 but much more comfortable than the B&W PX7. Sound: 3/5 Where's the midrange? Vocals are severely lacking compared to Bose 700. While disproportionate to the mid range, The bass is strong but well controlled. (I did not try equalizing the sound.). More importantly as the lack of a sound stage. As a whole these headphones have the opposite sonic profile of open-back headphones, such as my gold-standard Sennheiser HD 580s. In the end I exchanged the for the Shure Aonic 50s, which have a more open, neutral, and fuller sound. Noise canceling: 3/5 Good at reducing external noise but not quite up to par with the Bose 700. It should be noted that the noise-canceling can exert a fair amount of ear pressure. My wife got totally freaked out by this and literally ripped these off of her head. Lastly, at the highest noise setting there's noticeable audible audio artifacts including very slight "crackling."

Sony headphones WH1000XM4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are very good headphones but I bought them over a year ago. Sony makes very good products. I don't use them much anymore ever since I discovered earbuds. But when I did I was happy with them. Very full sound. Nice bass.

Very good product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. The sound quality is unmatched. I am very pleased with this product. My only critique involves the ear cup “fingertip” controls: they just aren’t as responsive consistently as I would like. At times they simply “refuse” to respond with the desired action.

Audio Excellence
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the XM2's and the XM3's and while they're all incremental upgrades. The XM4's are by far the best ANC headphones on the market, especially at $279. These headphones easily compete with the offerings from BOSE and have a wonderful sound signature. The midnight blue option provides a high end classy look. I use these for evening listening of a wide variety of genres. The ANC is excellent to the point I've not heard someone yelling my name from just one room over. The ANC is fully adjustable so you can set yours so you can hear someone talking to you. But to cut to the chase, great headphones, worth every penny.

Love these
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned the WH-1000XM2 headphones and those were hands down my favorite headphones. Great at noise canceling, especially needed since I commute in public transportation. I always felt the bass on those were a bit too much but I could always change eq on my iPad. I finally decided to purchase the WH-1000XM4 headphones because I had heard a lot of good things. And they were not lying. They still have great noise canceling but the sound to me is more open and not too heavy on the bass. The app is also pretty cool. It's got a lot of features. I really dig these headphones and I'm very happy with dishing out over $300 for them.

Great Sound. Excellent Features
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am someone who always used bose headphones due to their amazing sound quality. However, my friend suggested me to try this headphone and dang I was surprised. The headphones have amazing sound quality specially base if you compare with bose over the ear headphones. I really like the right ear touch feature to listen outside sound clearly. If you are looking for an amazing quality product, look no further. One con can be that I like the acoustic sound in Bose headphones better. You may have to change the settings to get the best sound for songs with low base.

Noise Cancelling Headsets
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headsets. I bought them for the noise cancelling effect, which has been working great so far. After I have been able to connect them to my older TV's and Tablet, I have this,wonderful surround sound effect. Even though I did not plan buying headsets,that pricey, it definitely was a good investment. Highly recommended.
