Love them
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality headphones. Very durable. They have fallen from high places due to my work environment. I work in construction, zero issue with the headphones. Truly love them. Just wish I could every once in awhile replace the padding or somehow clean them a little better since I do sweat a lot while I'm working.

Proof that headphones are evolving very, very well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound (well, of course), but sound dampening also works like a charm. You're shut off from construction sites, other passengers on board planes, trains, buses. Love the ability to cup my hand over the right 'phone and instantly my music turns down and I'm able to speak to someone who's addressing me. No fumbling.

Sound great.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared Bose NC 700 and Apple AirPods Max to these Sony WH- 1000XM4. To my ears, the Sony headphones sound the best...with tweak of EQ settings. Noise cancelling is very good. At a price of $250...can't beat them.

Comfortable and Sounds Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality in feel and sound. Great features like speak to chat, where they stop playing if you start talking and then resume in as little as 15 seconds. App was clunky for me to use at first, but with practice became easier. It analyzed a picture of my ear and then the sound got better based off the picture...WOW!

GREAT product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my daughter - who didn't think she'd really like them. She wore them one night while watching Netflix on her laptop and she LOVED them. She wished she'd had them on the airplane next to the crying baby....

Solid sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are solid headphones for listening to music while working, etc… Only issue is using them when taking a call, tend to switch to phone or computer speakers instead of coming through these. Have also been told that I sound like I’m in an old radio when they do connect and I try to talk on calls.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good. If you have AirPods Pro the noice cancellation on these are about 25% better(in my opinion). AirPods Pro have an overall more clearer sound while these ones tend to sound more cloudy BUT they are one of the clearest over-the-ear headphones I’ve ever owned. They are more bass heavy than AirPods but not as much i would want them to be. In fact, I wouldn’t even categorize them as bass heavy at all even with the equalizer. Basically they give you a nice overall sound.
I would recommend this to a friendThey're great Sony went cheap on power cable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first noise canceling headphones ever. I went with Sony bc they are a good brand imo. Have no experience with other noise canceling headphones so can't compare. They are great though, best to get on sale imo. They don't come with a power adapter and the charging cable is only 3 inches!!!!! I charge them about once every 2 weeks. The sensors and touch controls are nice and didn't take long to get use to.

XM4 Bluetooth with LDAC is amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you start using the XM4's with the Bluetooth LDAC codec they transform into a hifi wireless delight. Im using the hifi Tidal streaming service for maximum effect. Im not an audiophile expert, but OMG they sound good. Right now Im hearing the "Alice in Chains MTV unplugged" in Tidal and my ears are in that room.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the NC on this, the only thing is that it is very sensitive to touch on the outside, so if your hair swipes or or your sleeve or anything, it will react! Very cute and stylish though. I do appreciate the pause when it hears me talking, I think that’s cool. Overall very good, but the microphone on the Xm5 is much better. Very soft and bendy, just gotta be careful with them.
