I found Bose 700 better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found them average. Bluetooth connectivity with multiple device take at least 10 sec to switch between the devices. Sound is pretty good but I think Bose 700 is much crisp.

Posted .Hi BrianG,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4! It's unfortunate that the unit was already returned. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. With the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can use the app's equalizer function to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. Additional functions are also available on the app. We hope you consider Sony in your future purchase.

Good budget ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my son. He wanted something with active noise canceling and these fit the bill. Sound quality is fine, albeit a little bass heavy. The noise canceling is okay, but not nearly as good as my Sony XM4s. Plenty fine for my son.

HORRIBLE Controls
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.BUTTONS PEOPLE. For the love of God, why is normal basic human functionality such an unreasonable request? There I was, just washing some dishes wearing headphones while on an important call, and somebody needed to get my attention and talk to me for a minute. Naturally, I go to just simply move one earpiece off of my ear to easily listen to what they needed to say real quick. No need to touch any controls at all, right? Not with wet fingers. Now the call I was on needs to hang up immediately and without warning because that's how touch screens work. I shudder to think how these headphones will suffer in slight damp rain! I usually buy the Bose Quiet Comforts, but I had to return the pair I JUST bought because of a million and a half issues, but Lord Almighty I miss those buttons. Buttons never push themselves. Just TRY to rapidly lower or raise the volume while listening to music on these Sony's. It skipped like three songs in a row just trying to do what the Bose would do SO EASILY. Honestly, like leave the touch screen for all the people who just die over every ridiculous and unnecessary innovation. Fine, but give me some dang buttons that I could use instead! Like, it's already got two buttons, an On and Off button, why not a VERY simple volume button? Better yet, why not let me turn off the idiotic touch screen on the app and just use my buttons? I will suffer through reduced capabilities with a smile on my face knowing that BASIC functions will work without worry. They are comfortable and provide good isolation, and unlike the Bose pair the microphone actually works. Time will tell how they hold up, but I fear the rain, and I fear touching the controls AT ALL knowing that it might interpret my touch as literally anything if I don't do it exactly perfectly precisely right. I did a ton of research and it seems that all the decent headphones today that have the features I need (Excellent isolation as I work with loud, rumbling equipment all day, Bluetooth, battery life, water resistance for rainy weather (yeah right, I know), and a microphone that, you know, works) all have those stupid touch screens. The exception being the Bose QC45's, but I tried em and they had so many connectivity issues, garbage mic issues, and couldn't handle the noise from a window being rolled down in a car without painful bursts of sound in my ear, so I guess I'm stuck with this crap. If there was literally ANYTHING else I would buy it.
