Best noise cancelling ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Missed a deal that took an additional $80 off! Worth the price, as I travel internationally for a living and the noise cancelling is phenomenal. But if a deal is available, take full advantage.

Sound Greaat!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound awesome. The only issue I have is they don't work well with Samsung Televisions. When you get them connected with a Samsung TV they sound fine but after a few minutes the audio starts breaking up and sounding garbled. This is a known issue that's been going on far to long and needs to be fixed.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like these headphones. They sound amazing, are very smart and look fantastic. However, I repeatedly get headaches whenever I use these and it is too much. I am going to return them.

Posted .Hi JeniGilbert80, While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality of your new WH-1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing discomfort after using the headphones for a long period of time. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while.
Regards,
Carl

Great headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good sound quality. Don't expect these to totally block out all noise. They reduce noise very significant Ly, but have better sound quality than the Bose headphones. The Sony app is very good to customize sound.

The best ANC headphones in the game right now.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. It can block out sound and the microphones are great for conference calls. Also being able to link to my phone and computer at the same time makes it worth it. They are pricey but worth the $350.

Multi device support extremely flawed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really excited about receiving these but that excitement turned to frustration when I tried pairing these with another device after initial setup from my iPhone. When I tried to setup multi device use, the toggle in the app just refuses to activate. When I tried to connect to another device I paired with such as my MacBook or desktop PC, I am unable to do so without forcing the headphones into pairing mode. There are a several Reddit threads with the same issue even with the latest firmware update. There's just no seemless way for me to go from my phone to my laptop. For $350 plus tax, there’s no excuse for this and I’m hoping it’s just a select few with these defects or just a bad batch. These do sound great, and are comfortable headphones but I'm returning these if Sony doesn't address this. As of now, I can not recommended these headphones until this is fixed.

Great !
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality: The product is as advertised. The sound quality is good for the price. Please be careful with the head band. Since it is plastic it tends to break on not handling properly. Ease of use: In this day and age, it is not great when switching between devices. It does not disconnect automatically when pairing with another device.
