Best in class
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for someone else who’s not as tech savvy, but she loves the headphones. They are built to last, and (while I have not listened to them) she says have great audio quality. The noise cancellation works exceptionally well, and automatically turns off when she and I have a conversation. Well done, Sony!

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Completely satisfied with purchase ! Noise canceling feature fulfilled my expectation when using them at a local coffee shop. I could barely hear any outside noises. Also, the feature of using Bluetooth on 2 devices is convenient for those taking calls while multi-tasking on a laptop or other electronic device. The only con I can think of is the material used for the ear phones. If using for several hours, it does get slightly sweaty and hot.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used Bose 700 for over a year and now using Sony WH-1000XM4, mobile app of Sony is much mature, and it has lots of preset modes. Call quality of Bose is unbeatable, if your prime purpose of headphones is listening to music then I recommend go for Sony, I am sure that you won't regret.

Best in the industry!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these headphones because as a student, it's important to me to have some quiet when I need to study. I put these on with some white noise, and I don't hear a thing around me. With no music or sound on, of course you'll still hear some things but overall, best noise cancelling headphones I've ever used.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've upgraded from WH1000XM3. The quality fit and sound are second to none. The new multi device Bluetooth connection support is a must and a real game change. The voice activated auto mute works great. Its an awesome feature when you're working in the yard and have a set of gloves on. I love these over the ear head phones.

Best headphones I’ve ever used!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound fantastic! The noise canceling is top quality. I am a truck driver. At night when my truck is idling, I put on reduce wind noise which is the notch before full noise canceling and I can’t hear my truck so it works great. Listen to the new album by Silk Sonic while wearing these.
