Best headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did my research before deciding to purchase them. I saw these on sale last year around this time and I did a big mistake thinking they would be on sale a few weeks before Christmas but they weren’t and I ended up buying them but I returned them because of the price which was full price. So when they came around the holidays again this year, I didn’t hesitate when I saw the price drop to the same one as last year. In my opinion, they are the best ones comfort sound and price. I’d rather buy these than the Apple headphones.

If you have the money, get them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these for a little over two months now and they’ve been great. I got these headphones in particular after being told they aren’t harsh on the ears, which is an important thing for me. They fit and feel wonderful, even with all of my earrings on. As for the actual sound of the headphones, everything sounds great to me. The noise canceling is especially great since I use these in noisy environments and hardly anything distracts me from my work when I have these on. So if you are looking to get headphones, these are a great option.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these. I bought as a gift for someone who is not so tech savvy and she is able to use them without an issue. I have the earlier version (WH1000XM3) myself and the noise canceling on the Sony headphones is unmatched. Great Sound Quality. Extremely comfortable as well.

Comfort, quiet, and AMAZING sound
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I looked for a very long time to find a pair of comfortable headphones that have great noise cancelling (flying even during covid) and amazing sound. I can say that these more than meet the bill. I have ZERO complaints about the sound. The noise cancelling is amazing - especially with the ability to temporarily let ambient noise in to hear overhead announcements and the speak mode. The comfort, while important, was beyond expectation. Anyone that wears glasses or now has a face covering on for hours at a time knows just how bad the pressure can be behind the ear. I'm happy to say that I have worn these for many hours through airports and flights and was very happy with the comfort.

Juat wow!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive never liked over the ear headphones because most arent comfortable. These fit so well, i was shocked at how comfortable they could be. The noise cancelling made my jaw drop. Id never been able to get headphones to fit well enough to experience it until i tried these.

Best headphones I've had so far.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As an audiophile, I've been looking for noise cancelling headphones that also have good quality sound and range. These have checked all the requirements so far, and more! They're comfortable to the point I can wear them 8+ hs a day, and switch between meetings and music seamlessly. The noise cancelling is so good my roommates need to signal to me in order for me to look up. I thought the gestures were going to take some time to learn but it hasn't been the case, they're intuitive. The remove noise cancelling to talk works really well. Too well sometimes. I'd be walking close to someone talking and it will activate. The option to have two devices connected hasn't worked for me so well, I had issues switching from my phone to my laptop with the result of the laptop switching back to its speakers. It might be my MBP, I haven't tried with other devices yet. She sound quality is excellent, as expected from Sony, the sound is crisp and balanced, with a good range.

Quality over loudness
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.4.5 stars. The crispy, smooth sounds controlled by the connection eq make these headphones great. Noise canceling could be a bit stronger, giving more volume. They lasted three days on full charge.

Unexpectedly good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have surpassed my expectations especially in comfortability, noise cancelling and sound quality. I got them to replace my Beats Solo pros and this pair hasn’t let me down. I miss the almost magical integration of my beats to my iPhone and iPad but these r okay since I can connect them to two devices (AND IT HAS AN AUDIO JACK). It even comes with an adaptor for a those weird airplane audio jacks

The goat of headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2nd pair I’ve gotten, black color is definitely superior to blue. Love everything you can imagine about these headphones. Fantastic base, noise canceling and I love the app and settings you get with it
I would recommend this to a friendHighly recommend!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, I use them everyday and the customization in the app is really neat too. The bass and volume possibly might make me deaf but who cares lol. Only con is that my headphone ear broke and I can’t get them fixed even though I still have a warranty. They only offer fixing for wear or tears, and there’s a fee (I think $99) with their partnered company or something but they only fix the headband part so…

Posted .Thank you for the review, Chemlah!
We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving the sound and having fun with the custom settings in the app—though we definitely recommend keeping those ears safe so you can enjoy the bass for years to come!
We are, however, concerned to hear about the broken ear cup and the frustration you've experienced with the repair options. While our standard manufacturer’s warranty typically covers internal components and factory defects, we understand how disappointing it is when a physical break occurs on a product you use every day.
We would like to take a closer look at your case to see if there are any other options available for you. Please reach out to us directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones so we can review the details of your situation.
Thank you for being part of the Sony family and for the shout-out to that XM4 bass!

Crystal Clear Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are incredible. The sound quality is amazing, the noise cancellation does exactly what it’s supposed to do (and does it with the touch of a button), it has great bass and solid high notes. The range is very impressive (I don’t have an exact measurement, but I have never lost sound/connection from all around my home while multitasking). The battery life is more than sufficient. It’s more than enough to last an entire work day before you will need to charge your headphones. Overall, a great set and worth every penny.

No more headaches!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only took off one star bc of the price point. However, if you are able to splurge these are greaaat headphones. While they are not 100% noise cancelling like the AirPods are, they do a pretty good job and are much more comfortable. The sound is entirely better and they do a great job of managing decibels and sound quality. I used to get headaches after wearing earbuds for a while and this has completely resolved it:)
