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.

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.

No head soreness
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had Beats and normally uae my Samsung earbuds. These are the best headphones I've ever had. Battery life is better than I've had, wear them at night for 6-7 hours and battery usage has only gone down from 100% to 80%. Sound is outstanding.

Over Ear Headphones Done Right!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very pleased with these headphones. I was originally looking for Beats or Bose, but the Sony headphones had a lot more consistent reviews. The noise canceling is good, but the snug fit, big pillowed ear pieces, and contoured design make them extremely quiet, without even turning them on. The sound is clear and concise with good bass notes.

Amazing Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great. The noise cancelling is great though does hurt my head after a while because it applies pressure. The fitment is quite good. But I give it 4 stars because recently I have had a problem, the headphones will randomly disconnect from my phone. It doesn’t happen often but if it didn’t happen at all, I would give this product 5 stars.

Amazing headphones
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even better than the M2s that I had and that is saying something. I'm not an audiophile but these headphones give a slight improvement in sound quality, interesting features like the one that detects if you have the headphones off and pauses your music. It's pretty comfortable as well and the noise cancelling is really good for when I need to study. Overall, these are amazing headphones and the sale made it even better!

If you don’t have super high quality speakers, and yea those are a lot more expensive, get these to start. You will be blown away. They give you super hearing powers when you cup your hand over one side. Connect great. Sony absolutely smashed this generation. You are seriously missing out if you do not have these. Battery has been great but who cares… the sound makes the world melt away.
