Portable noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Get this if you need noise cancelling! Light, great battery life, and comes with a travel case. Never knew how much white noise there was in my room until I put these on. There is an annoying "feature" that might accidentally turn on where the noise cancelling stops when you speak. Pressing and holding your fingers to the right earcup toggles this.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great! Only problem is they aren’t that loud so don’t expect to get your ears blown up. They last 4 days for me on average and the noise canceling is great too.

Review of Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bass in these headphones are amazing! However, it is confusing at times to remember which way to swipe across the headphones to turn up the volume or switch songs. I’ve also noticed that the headphones will change from noise cancellation to ambient without me doing it and I don’t know if that’s a simple fix or if it’s something else.

Posted .Hi JheneS,
We are thrilled to hear you're loving the amazing bass on your WH-1000XM4 headphones. Regarding the controls, for volume, swipe up repeatedly for louder and down repeatedly for quieter; for tracks, swipe forward for the next song and backward for the previous song. The automatic mode change is likely due to the Adaptive Sound Control or Speak-to-Chat features in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Please open the app and disable both of those features to keep it locked on Noise Cancellation. If the issue continues after checking those settings, please reach out to our support team for further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

These work amazing for noise canceling and the sound is quailty is pretty good. The only thing is they are pretty expensive however I feel like they will last me a long time. Overall a great purchase that I'm enjoying.

Top of the line quality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the set I finally stayed with afte trying all the top brands and models. Beats not so great. iPod Max over the ear are great. And bit pricey. Bose top of the line great too. It takes some time to get used to the controls. But it’s genus engineering. These are as good as it gets unless you want to step up to corded Audiophile headphones
