Sony noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value. Noise cancellation works perfectly; I can’t hear a person speaking right next to me. The sound is good, although it has plenty of adjustments, which I haven’t fully explored, yet. I use them when working out and I find them comfortable for extended use. When on sale, they are a great buy.

Okayish if you like it heavy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The nice quality isn't as bad as I thought. But it could be better the reason why I'm giving it. 3 stars is because the headband piece digs into your scalp. And it could hurt, especially after hours use or if you have thin hair and the battery life is okay compared to other headphones. It tends to run out at a quicker rate depending on the volume. And setting, you have it on. But if you're a Sony fanatic, these would be better than the latest generations like the last 2 generations, aren't as good as you would think. This one, because it's thicker in the muffle area has a better. Noise-canceling property than the others, but it is heavy not to an extent. You would notice in the very beginning. But after hours use, you do notice it

Posted .Hi NicoAnd,
Thank you for the candid feedback on the WH-1000XM4. We're pleased the Noise Canceling performance is strong and that you find it superior to previous models.
We sincerely apologize for the discomfort the headband is causing during long listening sessions and the frustration with the battery life variability.
To help maximize the battery life, please check your Sony | Headphones Connect app and ensure features like DSEE Extreme are disabled, as these can increase power consumption. For the headband comfort, some users find that a third-party padded cover helps alleviate the pressure. Your detailed observations about comfort and weight are vital, and we'll ensure this feedback is passed along to our product design teams. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Thank you for the positive review of the WH-1000XM4 headphones.
It is fantastic to know that the headphones were such a great fit for your nephew!

Excellent ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far the best headphones that I have ever owned in terms of checking all the "boxes" for my needs. The noise cancelling is incredible as so many others have stated and the sound quality, with a little tweaking, is also amazing. I have used these wireless and wired and both sound very very good to my ears. While wired gives you true Hi Res quality depending on the source, I was pleasantly surprised by the Bluetooth streaming sound quality as well. No drops and a nice crisp sound that can be tweaked in the app to the user's liking. Almost two months in and I am very satisfied with the headphones in terms of features, sound quality, and overall build.

Top of the line noise-cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is the No.1 reason for buying these headphones. If noise cancelling is not your primary concern then I would recommend buying other headphones. I say this because the Bose 700 have better call quality for Teams or Zoom meetings, while other headphones have better audio quality. The audio quality of these to me is okay but a bit disappointing given the price tag. The bass is too boomy and the detail just isn't where it needs to be, this is made up for by the exceptional active noise cancelling that eliminates most exterior noise. Connection via bluetooth is easy and I appreciate the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack option for wired connection. I use these wired with ANC on while gaming and it's great. If your phone or device supports Sony's LDAC codex then that is a plus, I can hear a slight increase in audio quality when using this mode. The headset call quality is not very good in my opinion, it's 'acceptable' but at this price range 'acceptable' is not very good.

Great Heaphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound for these headphones are great. I really don't have any major complaints about them. I would just say that they are sensitive to touch, so if you are using them while moving around a lot, turn off the touch controls so that the music won't randomly pause.

Great WFH purchase
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using these for work from home since May and they have been great so far. Sound quality is excellent. The only two issues I have are: 1. When on a web call (computer), if my phone rings and I'm connected, the headphones will drop computer audio and automatically switch over to phone audio. Had this happen one too many times. So, I eventually gave up on multi-device connection, which was a purchase point unfortunately. 2. Microphone isn't great. Coworkers have told me I sound like an air traffic controller. I eventually just bought a USB mic for my laptop. Audio is still passable if needed.
