Great Quality Headphones but...
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked these at first, but they did not compare to another brand I purchased. I did not like having to use an app to have the control settings. The other brand I purchased is able to work seamlessly without the app. They are great-quality headphones but did not like the user interface.

Posted .Hi Techie2o11, Thank you for choosing Sony. While we are glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM4 headphones, we are sorry to hear that it did not meet all of your expectations. You can use the headphones even without the application installed on your Bluetooth device. The Sony Headphones connect app will allow you to change the settings of the WH-1000XM4 and these settings will remain even if the headphones disconnects or pairs to another device. The settings will only revert back to default when the headphones are initialized back to factory default. I hope this helps and thank you so much for your feedback.
Regards,
Carl

Great headphone and plenty of features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Builds on the XM3 and adds more to what's already great. No issues with it at all. Only thing that can get a little annoying are the various movement profiles since sometimes I'll be moving a little bit which will trigger a profile movement change

Better than Bose 700
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive, but better than bose 700. Sony sound quality is better and does not nickel and dime you for every little thing like bose. Bose is selling a portable usb link to help with the connectivity of the bose 700. They are trying to make more money by solving a problem in their headphones, which is the connectivity. Sony headphones connect to my pc, but bose 700 glitches.

Great sound quality!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from the older version which I’ve had for a few years and still sounds great. Noise cancelling works amazingly when traveling on a plane or the train to work. Best over-ear headphones on the market in my view.

Best purchase ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best headphones I have ever owned and I am not a big fan of over ear headphones. The sound quality is fantastic and to me way better than any other over ear headphones. For the price you really shouldn't pass these up.

Solid Sony headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product from Sony. Noise cancelling is wonderful and the controls on the earphones are easier to use than our Bose QC45's. Taking away a star due to not being as comfortable on the head as the Bose.
