The best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have to be the best noise cancelling headphones every. You can change the level of noise cancelling you would like when you're walking, running, on the bus or just hanging out. You can not hear anything but peaceful silence when the nose cancelling is in full effect. I would recommend these to everyone that wants that quiet time in noisy places. The other features of the headphone are great as well. These are well rounded amazing noise cancelling headphones. They're worth every penny.

Even my tech opposed father enjoyed them
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these for my father who is not particularly techy, and is typically rather frugal when it comes to tech (i.e. if he's able to hear sound coming from the cheapest pair of headphones possible, those are the ones he wants). I took a shot in the dark and bought him these headphones as a gift, but he enjoyed them so much that he wanted a replacement pair when he lost the originals on a trip. Since then I bought myself the earbud version wf 1000xm4 and my girlfrield also has the WH-1000XM4. We are all very satisfied. While I don't consider myself an audiophile, I think these headphones sound great for a middle of the road pair, and the noise cancelling is excellent. I have always had a hard time with over the ear headphones as they make my head uncomfortable after even short amounts of wear, but I found these headphones to be as comfortable as any I have tried.

Some of the best over the ear at headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my daughter for over the year headphones she had an older pair that finally went out. She had them for years. We replaced them with these because she researched all the Sony headphones and these among the best after she got them, she absolutely fell in love with them and uses them constantly

Fantastic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect version for the wh1000x series so far. Multiple devices connection and no latency. The improved noise cancellation is a little bit more effective on higher frequency. I really love the memory foam and the right pressure of the head band. Too high, uncomfortable; too low, ineffective noise cancellation. Something I need to say: it does get hot and uncomfortable after 1 hour, but this is the satisfaction you have to take for good seal and noise cancellation. Recommend this to people who haven’t bought 1000xm3.

love these!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the color on these! They sound great even on wireless. They come with a free 3 month trial to HIFI services, (you get to choose which one). These services' audio quality are so much better than Spotify, and you can actually tell the difference when listening with these headphones. The noise canceling is amazing. I bought them since I'm in grad school and sometimes the kids are loud in the house and don't let me focus. I cant hear anything with these and am able to concentrate on my work.

The Review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony XB900. I heard great things about the XM series and decided to give them a try. To be honest, I'm not sure what the big deal is about them. Yes, sound is clearer and Noise Cancelling is better than the XB900. If you compare the Noise Cancelling to the Airpod Pros, they aren't near as good as Airpods Pros. The bass is there, but not as full or deep as it was on the XB900. In conclusion, if you'd like headphones with clear sound and above average bass, you can't go wrong with these. But if you are hoping they have a deep bass punch, I recommend looking somewhere else. Personally, I will be going back to the XB900.
