Fantastic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After looking at a lot of reviews I chose these over ear headphones for an 11 hour flight. They were extremely comfortable and made the long, cramped, economy class trip less stressful.

Best headsets in that price point
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love this headset. Sounds great and very comfy. Small issue i have is with the sensor that pauses the music when it detects you talking or someone talking to you. it pauses randomly, I'd rather a button and for it to not autodetect. the color is oh so beautiful

The WH1000XM4 has a built-in proximity sensor in the left unit and the built-in acceleration sensors in each of the left and right units detect when the headset is attached to or removed from your ears, and the headset automatically controls the touch sensor control panel’s operation, powering off, pausing music playback, play music, etc. By using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you can change the settings of the wearing detection automatic music playback pause and resume function of the headphones. I hope this helps. Erin

Best workout headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best for my workouts, if tuned right. Right when i got them, i immediately went to the EQ settings and tuned them to my liking. The noise cancelation is SO good! I cannot hear a thing outside the headphones when music is playing. But i DO recommend getting a 3rd party app like Wavelet to tune the EQ setting even further if you want to tune them to the best of their ability. Though i know some people really dont care about the audi quality if just wrking out.

neurodivergent mom of 2 approved!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have made my life 1000% better as a neurodivergent mom of 2. Overwhelmed with sounds around me and need noise cancelling! Pop on the Sonys! Can’t focus on cleaning the kitchen?? Pop on a podcast and the Sonys. Seriously, if you’re a mom that gets overstimulated or if you’re just needing a solid, high quality, beautiful pair of headphones. These are so so worth the money. Worth every penny!!!

Amazing headphones, especially for students!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are awesome! I use these whenever I go to class, or am just chilling and working on homework. This past week I had a huge paper due and spent a lot of time in the library, jamming out to these headphones. Overall, the quality on these is probably one of the best in the consumer headphone market. The added functions of being paired to two devices at once, as well as the noise cancellation is a huge plus! Highly recommend these for the student who needs something to cut through a noisy room and provide a great sound experience.
