Best Headphones Out There
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise-cancelling are fantastic. These are also so comfortable that sometimes I fall asleep with them on while listening to music, meditation, or audiobooks at night when I am having trouble sleeping. But, I mostly use these whenever I fly to calm my nerves. The ONLY 2 negatives of these are: 1. You can't charge them and use them at the same time. (But, if you charge them prior to using, they can be used for several hours.) 2. When you connect to multiple devices (I think two devices is the max) there are a lot of "connected/disconnected" messages. So, it's best to just connect to one device at a time.

The best or nothing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simply the most comfortable, best sounding headphones on the planet (at least at this price point). I upgraded from the WH-1000XM2 headphones, so I was already accustomed to how good Sony's headphones are in general. Battery life, comfort, pretty much stayed the same. I noticed a nice bump in sound, as well as slightly better noise canceling.

10/10 headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. The noise cancelling on these is very effective and blocks out around 90% of surrounding sounds. The soundstage is also very wide and the base is very good. Battery life last for multiple days as well

Great decision
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was between Bose, and these new sonys. Looked at reviews for weeks until I broke down and spend the buttload of money for them and the protection plan, which in the end will def be worth it. Awesome clear sound, bass is loud, but couldn’t hit low notes as well as I anticipated. Feels great, comfy, and have a lot of different settings, a ton of great functions.

High performing and highly recommended.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding, high performing. Good amount of bass but well balanced. I listen to mostly metal and the low end is good but not overpowering while the high end is excellent. Wish they’d get a bit louder, I find around 90% volume is it’s sweet spot on an iPhone 12. App is quite good, lots of customization. Little pricey but the quality is there.

We're happy your WH-1000XM4 headphones sound great, but apologize for the connection issue with your computer.

Great Noise Cancelling and Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have neurological issues and was looking for a better set of headphones than the ones replaced by my previous employer after they threw my previous pair out. Those weren't worth their weight in salt anyways... These do a great job and come with the means to be able to control a few features from your phone. Took a bit of getting used to though because it kept trying to override the noise cancelling with the calling feature, making things louder (complete opposite of what I wanted). But as far as keeping ambient noises out and being good noise cancelling headphones, these are fantastic. I tend to wear them 4-8 hours a day (sometimes more), and they are quite comfortable and don't leave my head or ears feeling too irritated or warm.

Definitely the best
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know these headphones are a little expensive. But you can often find them on sale. I got these on sale and these are by far the best headphones I’ve used. I did buy a lot and returned most of them. We can connect to multiple devices. The base is really good. They are light and easy to use. And the app is pretty extensive. I recommend is highly.

Outstanding Headphones!!!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried and tested many different Headphone manufacturers from very expensive to average price and these by far exceed all of them in both sound quality and comfort. I purchased this pair as a backup to my initial pair that I purchased years ago.

Great headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing battery life, compact enough to easily travel with, and the audio quality is insanely good! I have a small head, so most hats and headphones don't fit me and this is no exception. So if tou also have a smaller head, you may also experience it sliding back and forth/off your head, especially if you're moving (running, bending over, weightlifting). I've found products online that should help by creating a smaller bridge, but haven't purchased it yet. Again, this is normal for my experience so I'm just happy that there are additional products I've been able to fine online that help fix this.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound and very comfortable. My only issue is that when you press the power button when the headphones are on it is supposed to tell you how much battery life is left but it always says battery is fully charged even when that is not the case.

Yes buy them NOW!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Oh man… I have been on the hunt for headphones that check off all the boxes. I guess I have a pea head because they fit well and the Bose fall off when I was working out. It is on the higer end price wise but the quality makes up for it. Let’s start with if you remove them they pause your music! And if you need to have a quick convo you can just put your hand over the headphone and boom it lowers the volume and turns of noise cancellation. Ok but can we also talk about the touch up down & skip? They are ahead of their time for headphones. I do wish they were more comparable with apple (Bose is legit meant for apple) but I can deal with having a few apps on my phone. These are my go to for everything. I can shut out the world and live in my own for a minute.

Buy these love them!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely great! I just started my grad program so I bought these for their noise cancellation capabilities. I can say they are extremely helpful! I tend to use the the noise cancellation without any music so I can focus on reading and only light some noises make it through. Noise cancellation is absolutely perfect when I’m listening to anything! Come with a traveling case and airplane adapter! Bluetooth user easy to use and battery lasts a long time I can’t remember the last time I charged them!

Sony vs Apple
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Apple AirPod Max and compared it to this Sony. The only thing I liked better with Apple was the fit over the ears. It just seemed more cushioned and form fitting. Everything else I liked better with the Sony. Sony absolutely blows away Apple with bass too. No matter what settings I put the Apple on, it would not come close to the hard hitting bass of the Song which was the clincher for me. Much lighter weight and more compact with a better case too were the other pluses.
