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.

Not a keeper for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought to listen to TV without disturbing others. Was using AirPods Pro which work very well but sometimes bugs my ears. Back to the Sony headphones… Sound is pretty good, not great. Seems to have some crackle at times. Could be the Bluetooth connection which is also why I’m returning them. They have a really hard time staying connected to our LG OLED C2 which hasn’t been a problem for the AirPods or other buds. Too frustrating. Purchased Bose QC Ultras to try instead. Much more money of course but way better sound and no more connection problems.

Great sound, great noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m blown away by the quality and the sound over previous generation Bose nc headphones and would recommend on that. There’s a lot of extra features and controls that I’m not using, which probably went into the the high price of the headphones, oh well.

Great Headphones, Not So Great for Video Editing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise cancelling, many sound optimizing options, and they're very comfortable to wear. Great for listening but not great for editing because the bass is amplified so you won't get a natural sound. Using them on bluetooth with my wireless mouse and keyboard created lag between some function of my laptop, like adjusting my computer volume.

Best headphones I've used
|Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are easily the best headphones I've ever owned. The audio quality out of the box is crazy good and I only had to tweak the EQ a tiny bit to get the bass exactly where I wanted it. The muffs do get a little hot after a while and can make my ears sweaty but I usually don't end up using them that long except on flights.

Hot and bothered
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These run a bit hot on my big head, but the sound quality is fantastic. Its spoiled all my other sound systems. Need to put some time into figuring out how to make them comfortable (for me I have to wear them at max extension), while not slipping in the gym (much tighter), and the cushions are maybe a bit thin for super long wearing. Hurts after a few hours.

Switched from Bose to Sony
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stellar sound quality and noise cancelling. Switched from Bose Quiet Comfort’s to the Sony XM4’s. Didn’t think I’d ever love another noise-canceling headphone as much as the QCs. These are amazing though. Great sound, battery life, quality.

Posted .Hi ValeriaG, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're extremely pleased to hear you are enjoying the amazing battery life and exceptional sound quality of your WH-1000XM4. These headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. I believe these will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities, I recommend you practice caution when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise.
