Excellent noise canceling headset
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are very good. The build quality is sturdy, but very lightweight. Battery lasts a long time, at least 15 hours on a charge. I really like the companion app which allows you to personalize and fine tune the noise cancellation/ pass-through audio settings.

Best headphones I have had.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I work 10hr days in a loud environment. With these I can still hear my audio nice and clear. The amazing battery life on these means I can listen all day at work and not have to fret if I forget to charge them at night. I'll take these over beats any day.

SUPER Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to drown out noise as I work from home and they did not disappoint! The headphones are very comfortable even after hours of use and the ambient noise feature is great. I initially went into the store thinking I would get a pair of Bose headphones, but am so happy I decided to browse around.

The Travel Endgame
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are other wireless headphones out on the market that are technically better, but at over half of the price without much of a difference in performance. The sound signature is great for casual listening, don't get these for your dedicated listening sessions for audiophiles, this is not your product. However, if you are used to headphones that come bundled with products, these will blow your mind. The sound cancellation is some of the best I have ever heard and the gesture controls are amazing. The one complaint I have is that one audio codex is not accepted, I forget which one, but it means I cannot use these on my TV wirelessly without substantial delay. Get dedicated tv headphones for that purpose. No issue though on iphone or android

Posted .Hi PSGamer, You've made an excellent choice! We're glad you like the great sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, and amazing touch control of your Sony WH-1000XM4.
Note: This headset supports the following 3 codecs for music playback via an A2DP connection: SBC, AAC, and LDAC.
The audio playback on the headset may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games. Please check the AV sync settings or any related settings of your TV to minimize the audio delay. Hope this helps!

Excellent wireless noise cancelling headphones

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I swear by these headphones. I'm really bad at taking care of things, i've thrown these around so much especially since I work in a warehouse and move around so much they've definitely hit the ground a lot. I needed these because everything is so loud I rather listen to music. Plus they get really dirty so i wipe them cleaned every night and they still work through everything I put them through! The best part is the battery life I always get surprised when they tell me theyre going to die because it seems like I hardly charge them lol. If they ever stop working im pretty sure i'd just but another pair of these.

Better than my Bose 35’s sound and noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are serious! If you want better than average noise canceling, and some good control over how to listen to your music with the App, a good bass boost, and 360 audio sound. These do the job with a great battery life for all day listening.

Revolutionary headphone at its best version
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are revolutionary. I can get work done at the office even with people having conversations a few feet away. You can go on a plane and can enjoy the movie. During the pandemic, we don't do these but the revolutionary technology still stands. On top of everything else, it has great sound. Other high end headphones assume some really quiet environment to sound good. I've had great sounds at 3AM in the morning off some high end headphones but daily noise it's just not that great sounding. With the Sony, you can hear the details in your music during the middle of the day, going for a walk on a noisy street (with safe walk only paths) or just for a nap. For all movies, I just use headphones now. Roku lets you watch a stream from your phone while watching on the TV and we just do that when we watch a movie together. These headphones give you peace and quiet when you need it and loud and noisy when you need them without bothering anyone else and letting anyone else bother you. Game changing technology.
