Amazing!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for my husband for Christmas and let me just start off with saying wow! I am not well versed in tech but the sound quality, noise canceling and comfort these provide are outstanding. I never found headphones to be comfortable until I put these on. From the experience we have had so far, 100% would recommend.

One of my Best Purchases!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is fantastic and the noise canceling is top notch. I’ve gotten used to the touch controls. One of my favorite features is the connection to 2 devices. I switch between my iPhone 12 Pro and IPAD seamlessly. I created my own equalizer setup in the app and use it all the time. The case is handy and it is a quality built case. Battery life works as advertised. Just put on Shazam’s top 100 (Apple Music) sit back and enjoy.

Excellent but...
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best headphones I've worn. The sound is so clear and the bass is perfect where it doesn't muffled the music. The comfort is good but if you have them on at least 3 hours, your outside ears starts hurting in discomfort. The JBL under armour is the most comfortable. Battery life is very long. Overall everything is excellent.

Buy them if you can get them for the right price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros -Sounds great. This is how I want to listen to music. -Noise cancelation works great. Negates alot of sound although not as much as I thought without music playing. - Innovative app. Cons - Speak to Chat feature is gimmicky. If you sing along to songs like I do then it is practically useless you use it for podcasts. - Touch controls don't react sometimes. Toss ups - I don't feel like the Battery last the advertised 30 hours but its good enough.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, noise cancelling did the job well. The sound quality is great, but the bass is a little bit too much for me personally, but it supports the Sony's app so it was fine. The DLSS Extreme didn't really "enhance" my experience, but it might be that I'm used to many kinds of headphones and compressed audio. Overall, it's a great product, but too many features that you won't even use.

Great Sony Fidelity and Noise Cancelling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Strong technology which you would expect from Sony. The noise cancelation across the entire audio spectrum including an aircraft interior is impressive. Balance and fidelity are excellent. Controls are simple to master. The one negative is the relatively fragile feel of the head phones compared to older models.

WH-1000XM4 v. QC-35II
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was between these and the Bose QC-35II's but after doing a side by side comparison of the two (using friends pairs of each) ended up going with the Sony WH-1000XM4's...especially since I snagged them when they were on sale, which I have to say after a month of use, I definitely would pick these over the Bose even at their regular price (~$30 more than the Bose). Quality built, exceptional sound, battery lasts forever and super easy to use.

Sweet Ride, Mellow Music
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Listening to music with my new Sony- WH1000XM4 is more enjoyable. The notes from different instruments flows sweetly, so mellow. No in-flight entertainment on my flight but with my Sony headphone, the movie sounded like it was seen on a big screen theater. The plane's engine's noise unnoticeable.

Great Headphones, thankful for customization
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are fantastic headphones. The best sounding wireless Bluetooth headphones I have personally ever used. The sound quality is extremely detailed and enhances the overall listening experience. Applicable whether you are listening to compressed music files or even more so demonstrates attention to detail with less compressed, higher quality music files, such as on Tidal or Apple Music. The immersive capability with 360 degree sound and/or Dolby atmos is incredible. I hadn’t listed to roses by the chain smokers in years due to saturation/overexposure, and I listened to its 360 version thru Tidal and it sounded like a whole new experience with the nostalgia of first discovering the song. The noise cancellation is truly impeccable - you quite literally hear nothing outside your own world it creates. The ambient noise feature is quite definitive while listening to music, podcasts, etc. layering it on top of what’s going on around you - helpful in for when you’re in the office. The headphones app is absolutely necessary in my opinion as you can customize characteristics and more importantly disable any features that aren’t to your liking. Personally, voice to chat; ambient sound control; among a few others come to mind which I deactivated. They would interrupt or fluctuate the listening process. The ambient sound control seemed interesting from a conceptual standpoint, but it really tries too hard in my opinion. Scaling between full ambient sound and noise cancellation - now the scale is great, the mind of its own - take a lap buddy, you're not that guy.
