Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these on so many great recommendations from family and friends and am glad I did! I am currently in grad school and purchased these mainly for use while note-taking/doing coursework. However, they definitely get their use beyond that! Really great battery life as well. Highly recommend!

Not very breathable and kind of buggy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the sound is great, my ears get really sweaty when wearing these headphones. I did not have this issue with my last model of Sony headphones. They seem way less breathable, which is an issue because I like wearing them for multiple hours at a time. They also make a weird, loud clicking noise if you use noise-cancelling but aren't playing anything. The battery life is really good at least. For the money I expected something a lot better, and I was much happier with the previous model.

Best headphone
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are one of the best headphones I had for a long time. I used to use the Apple headphones but they were too heavy for me to work out in them these are the perfect ones to work out in. The sound of them is the best out of any I had so far. So if you're looking for headphones these are the ones.

Constant connectivity failure is product killer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted so badly to love these headphones. They were supposed to be Sony's best ever, and I had *never* - in 40+ years - had any issue with Sony audio. The brand has earned my loyalty and trust. But the WH-1000XM4 has been a letdown of epic proportions. The pros: They're very comfortable and - when working properly - the sound quality is 9/10, perhaps even a 9.5 depending on what you're listening to. They're lightweight, yet solid state. They also have great battery life - I've used them 20+ hours without a recharge. The cons: Unfortunately, the above-mentioned sound quality is often compromised and there's no explanation for it. When watching TV in the office - I'm 9-10 feet away from it - the sound will suddenly warble for stretches of time, from as few as 10-15 seconds up to 3+ minutes. There has been less of that the past few months, but also, I have been using them progressively less and less, which could account for the apparent reduction. What's still happening with EVERY single use, however, are the dropped bluetooth connections. Whether I'm walking, working in the garage, or just sitting at my desk, the connection will drop and have to be manually re-started. It's extremely frustrating and today, I reached my wits' end. I turned them off for the final time and listed them for sale. I'm going to try the XM5s, however, if the same issues appear, I will be returning them immediately.

Nice Headphones
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great, but I miss the my old Beats Solo Pro’s ease of pairing with multiple Apple devices. I’m hoping these will last longer than the Beats (the noise canceling failed after two years with a loud buzzing in one year). I do appreciate the nice case the Sony headphones came with, and the cords should I need them. They are comfortable for a few hours, but then I need a break.

Excellwnt build quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gave them to my wife for Christmas and i cant get them away from her. Irregardless of the type of music shes listening to they provide an excellent listening environment. I have the high end Bose 700 and the B&W over the ears and the Sonys provide the same quality of sound for a lower price. In the end its the listener who decides whether or not they like them. My wife loves them.
