Came for the price, stayed for the sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price these really are great. Easy to travel with, calls and music sound great. Easy set up, what else do you want? Battery life us great for an 8hes work day, oy complaint is that when it warns you you have low battery....what it really means is you have less than 5 min. Minor complaint for an otherwise great set of headphones.

comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid sound. Easy on the ears. After spending hours on video calls, we needed a product that didn't make our ears hurt. Perfect choice. A little tricky to set up for video calls at first, but we figured it out.

Great sound, great noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m blown away by the quality and the sound over previous generation Bose nc headphones and would recommend on that. There’s a lot of extra features and controls that I’m not using, which probably went into the the high price of the headphones, oh well.

Sony WH 1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony headphones are fantastic so far. I got them because of the active noise cancelling, which rivals all of the current Bo$e noise cancelling and surpasses all the rest. What has really increased my experience is all the "hidden" features that are explained inside the box. Laying your palm on the side of the headphones pauses the ANC, intuitive swiping up/down on the outside earpiece for volume and forward and back for skipping, the double tap to pause, all very easy/user friendly interface that makes them a pleasure to use.

Best headphones I've owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing headphones. The sound quality is top notch. They are very comfortable. The app gives you the ability to adjust sound in terms of presets like Club etc or customize your equalizer for more bass etc. No other headphones compare.

Frequent flyer must-haves
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these headphones while on a trip having suffered great discomfort flying to my destination. The noise cancellation is amazing. Completely cut off aircraft noise making my trip home much more pleasant. I wear them while cutting grass. Riding mower sounds like a sewing machine. Only drawback for me is the “tap” system which interferes with the tap system on my hearing aids. I have to tap my ears twice to change hearing aid programs. Unfortunately the double tap on headphones is needed to turn off and on the NC.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. They have probably the best noise canceling you’ll ever have. Great speaker quality they are amazing. I’ve had the previous generation and they’re all so just as great. Only thing I kinda don’t like is the sensor other than that it’s amazing I love. It’s also really comfortable.

Great build quality/sound, meh touch controls
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal build quality, great sound. The swipe controls on the side of the headphone arent my favorite. I miss physical buttons. In the pursuit of sleek build design, everything has become touch-based but its a big finnicky. Dont have to use them if you dont want to. Overall love these headphones.

Posted .Hi BoydS,
It is fantastic to know that you overall love the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, especially their phenomenal build quality and great sound!
We certainly appreciate your candid feedback regarding the swipe controls versus physical buttons. We understand that while the touch-based design offers a sleeker profile, it can take some adjustment. We value this insight as we continuously work to balance design with ease of use. Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review and for choosing Sony!

Great Headphones, Not So Great for Video Editing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise cancelling, many sound optimizing options, and they're very comfortable to wear. Great for listening but not great for editing because the bass is amplified so you won't get a natural sound. Using them on bluetooth with my wireless mouse and keyboard created lag between some function of my laptop, like adjusting my computer volume.
