||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter wanted one and then I bought one about a week later. Yes they are expensive hence why the best buy credit card came in handy. I have always been a Bose kinda girl and never even tried Sony. EVER! I am not even a fan of the look but I am taking continuing education at the college and I like to study in the campus center and that place is so loud. The students are always yelling and while the amount of people help me stay focused the noise does not. These headphones are amazing they knock out all the noise. The really fun part is when you go to talk the music stops and you can hear the other people without having to remove them

Top of the line Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They have ready great sound. HPs are very customizable for a person's noise cancelling preferences. They are very comfortable to wear. Damien, Store Manager, at Arundel Mills MD store gave me the sale discount because the sale price had ended unbeknownst to me 2 days earlier. So I got a ready great price.

Wouldn’t pay full price for them.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these bad boys on sale for $250.00. ANC is good, took them on a flight to Vegas and significantly reduce the sound of the jet engine however if your expectation is for the to completely eliminate that is unrealistic. Also, doesn’t do a good job canceling peoples voices, so if you getting them to get piece and quite from your family look elsewhere. Audio quality is excellent and plenty of adjustments available via the Sony app.

Exceptional
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned pretty much the previous 2 generations of this and this model is by far the best. It’s lighter, and I love how we can finally connect to 2 devices! Took them long enough. I’ve been a fan of the touch features and being able to hold a hand over the ear cup to let sound in. Now you can enable when you speak for it to stop playing and that’s super convenient but of course can be annoying sometimes too. But I definitely recommend these over any of the other headphones on the market.

Pretty good for the price point and definitely wor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The customization and sound quality is really amazing especially with a little bit of tweaking through the app and it allows for excellent music and the noise cancelation is pretty good but that is expected for the price point, its able to block out most noise whether it be with the adjustable feature it has within the app and on the physical buttons and the soft padding on the cups and head band allow for wearing the headphones for a pretty long time. That being said sometimes it randomly disconnects and takes about 2 to 9 seconds to reconnect.

Posted .Hi Honestly,
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying the amazing sound quality and effective noise cancellation of your WH1000XM4 headphones. The comfort features, like the soft padding, are a key design element that allows for extended listening sessions.
Regarding the random disconnections, we understand how frustrating that can be. While these headphones are designed for a stable connection, factors like wireless interference from Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices, or physical obstacles can sometimes cause this. For a more stable connection, you can use the Sony | Sound Connect app to switch the "Bluetooth Connection Quality" setting from "Prioritize Sound Quality" to "Prioritize Stable Connection". This can often resolve such issues by prioritizing a strong signal over the highest audio bitrate.
In case the problem persists, please make sure to reach to out technical support at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones for further assistance.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have an excellent day!

Comfortable, clear sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a lot of Sony products and they are generally good. These are no exception and I love it that they have great sound and are comfortable, so can be worn for long stretches. They seldom lose connection but when they do, they connect back quickly. No complaints.

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So let me start off with, I returned the headphones. The noise cancelling is awesome and it has some great features. Also, these are very comfortable headphones, although they are very light and can easily be bent. As an audiophile want-a-be, I thought the sound was very good, but not great. I prefer the sound of my Sennheiser M2's although they are not nearly as comfortable. (the Sennheiser M3 is out now for $399). Sound is subjective so try them out first and compare to other products.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the best headphones you can get right now, it is on the pricier side, which I should probably give 4 stars for. But the ANC and comfort and sound quality makes this an incredible purchase.

Great headphones and on big sales now
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these based on other reviews. Loved my Bose QC-35 but the battery wasn’t lasting more than 8 hours. The Sony headphones sound great and have amazing noise cancellation. The battery life is easily 16-18 hours. My only complaint is they take longer to pair to my phone and iPad. The Bose paired immediately. Since these Sony headphones have a new version out, they were almost $80 off. Great deal.
