I love this headset.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched headphones and this came out on top. It's a pretty penny, so got it when it was discounted. Very comfortable fit. I've worn out for hours. There are so many features. The touch controls were a little tricky, so I had to youtube the instructions for all the different swipes and taps. Now that I'm use to it, it's easy. It comes with a nice sturdy case.

Great ANC but gets HOT
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC is great. Sound is good. Bass struggles when it gets really loud. Earcups just sounded muffled. Transparency is ok. I still had to lift up a side to hear the conversation. Touch controls are acceptable. Can be sensitive sometimes. My main issue is that this thing gets HOT on the ears. Definitely buy it on sale if you are dead set on getting it.

Not worth for the price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound effect and comfort on the ear. But biggest problem is multi device support. I paired it with apple TV and two iPhones and one Mac book. Whenever I turn on the Sony Headphone it's automatically connects last connected device (for example last connected device may be iPhone). If I want to connect to Apple TV, I have to remove the device and pair aging. Sony need to do something on that.

Posted .Hi Wills, while we are glad to hear that you are happy with the comfort and sound quality of your WH1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with its bluetooth connection feature. Once a device and the headset are paired, there is no need to pair them again. Connect to devices already paired with the headset using the methods necessary for each device.
For this, if you are pairing the headphones to your TV, please turn off the Bluetooth connection of your mobile device.

Don't fly without them!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have helped tremendously in long flights, especially when babies are on board. If you turn on the noise canceling and put ear plugs or the air plane ear buds underneath, you won't be able to hear anything.

Wow
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I put these headphones on and turned them on the white noise made me feel like I was alone. The sound quality while playing dance music was unparallel. I will definitely enjoy these for work purposes only ahem.. the USB C cord is pretty small in length but it charges quickly. The ear customization settings for better sound quality was mind blowing

Nice
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a nice feature packed headphone. I am NOT giving 5 stars is only because of this one option missing which i need a lot which is there is no option to switch between the connected devices. Ex: I use these headphones with my Cell phone and Laptop so it would have been better if there was some button which allows you to switch to previously paired devices which my Bose Sound Sport ear phones do rather than going to the device and connecting.

Best ANC Headphones around!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best ANC headphones I've used! I've owned the Sony XM2 & XM3 prior to these. These improved on the ANC from the XM3 and those are still considered one of the best. The multipoint connection makes these so much better. My only issue with these would be that the "cabin pressure" feeling on these are ever slightly more noticeable than the previous models.
