Sony 1000XM4 is a must
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't knew that I needed until I wear it for the first time! It cancels my noisy teammates in the office. Now I can deeply focus in my job, get the task done and get out of there without hear any whispering.

XM4 Bluetooth with LDAC is amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you start using the XM4's with the Bluetooth LDAC codec they transform into a hifi wireless delight. Im using the hifi Tidal streaming service for maximum effect. Im not an audiophile expert, but OMG they sound good. Right now Im hearing the "Alice in Chains MTV unplugged" in Tidal and my ears are in that room.

Awesome Headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality for gaming on my computer. Use it with Discord and when playing games. Do need to adjust some sound settings in Windows, as usual to get the sound quality back up where it should be. After that great surround sound and noise cancelling.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good. If you have AirPods Pro the noice cancellation on these are about 25% better(in my opinion). AirPods Pro have an overall more clearer sound while these ones tend to sound more cloudy BUT they are one of the clearest over-the-ear headphones I’ve ever owned. They are more bass heavy than AirPods but not as much i would want them to be. In fact, I wouldn’t even categorize them as bass heavy at all even with the equalizer. Basically they give you a nice overall sound.

Decent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy them. Price on sale was very good. The features and comfort are excellent. I find the sound could be more crisp. I'm not sure if I'm just having a hard time finding my preferred sound profile or if its the headphones. Adding base seems to wash out mid and high clarity.

Too big for my head and very heavy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sounded great. But I had to return them because I am a woman (pretty normal size) and they didn't adjust to be small enough to fit my ears, so they pressed on my ears at the top and made them sore after only about 3 minutes of wear. They were also way too loose to use for the gym.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great value. Awesome sound quality and noise cancelling. Appreciated that it came with an adapter for airplanes. Only con is that I wish it could charge and play at the same time. Unfortunately it turns off as soon as you plug in the power.

Excellent wireless headphones.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent pair of headphones for working in a noisy office. Bluetooth functionality is easy to use. Noise cancelling muffles the sound without completely muting everything, making it possible for people to get my attention while still not being distracted by other sounds nearby.

Excellent product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product, does exactly what it claims. Great noise cancelling, effective in environments like airports or cafes, but still allows you to hear announcements that are being made. Fast charging with USB-C, multipoint functionality makes connecting to 2 different sources a breeze. No major complaints.
