Excellent sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice headphones, excellent sound quality and noise canceling. Only complaint I have is to get them to recharge. When you plug in the charger It'll charge for 30 seconds and then quit. Sometimes it takes several tries to get them to stay charging. I've heard of several other people having the same issue with them

One word: Quality
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using these exclusively the past 11 months and they are great. Initially, I tried the AirPods Max, but they were too heavy and started to hurt my eyes. These have even better noise cancellation and I like that they can more easily fold up and fit into a bag.

Best Headphones for the Price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wh1000xm4 are by far the best headphones I have owned. The music is crisp and the bass is deep and scary accurate. The noise cancelling feature is what truly sets these headphones apart from the rest. With noise cancelling active, the outside world becomes near silent and the headphones can be enjoyed at a very low noise.
