No Brainer
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a pair of WH1000XM3's, I love them and when I needed an extra pair of headphones it was a "no brainer" for me. Great sound quality, great build, and easy to connect. After all it is a Sony.

Great on the airplane
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for long distance flights and they did not disappoint. Great noise cancellation to block out engine hum and surrounding people. Was helpful for reducing the sound of a crying baby. Also produced good sound quality for airline movies. I still like to use the cable to be able to connect without WiFi and it worked great!

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using things headphones for work and I will say it's worth the money. I use these headphones for work and and can say these headphones exceeded my expectations. They're comfortable and can be used non-stop for 8+ work days without causing any headaches, or sweat. The audio is crisp and with the app I can change the mode settings based on my location to see how much noise cancellation I want. The headphones come with a small travel case, aux cable (if you don't want to use bluetooth), and a charger. Con: The microphone isn't the best Pro: I have 4 budgies and have been able to block them out thanks to these headphones when I'm working!

Game changer for air travel!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! These headphones are a game changer on long, international flights! Blocks out almost all sounds. It really makes a flight less stressful without all the noises. I also like the feature to turn off noise cancelling (just touch the right earpiece) if you need to hear an announcement or talk with the flight attendant. Highly recommend for flights!

Perfect headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. Excellent bass, yet clear vocals. I use it for rap music, but all other music sounds excellent. I am using them wired mostly, so I cannot comment on the use of the noise canceling yet. But I have tried it out, and it blocks out a lot of noise. Beautiful matte look in midnight blue. I love the case and accessories. The only issue I can point out is the top of my head hurts a bit from the headband after an hour use, but its not enough to knock a star off. The ear pads are very plush and comfy.

Boose headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The main reason I bought it is obviously for the gym. I wanted something to be loud and clear and motivating when I’m on the treadmill, but I noticed it’s not that loud so I kinda don’t like that part of it other than that I like it’s a nice color it’s lightweight.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, KarlaV.
We are so pleased to hear that your WH-1000XM4 headphones are lightweight and that you enjoy the color. We designed them to be comfortable for active use, and it's great to know they are working well for you in that regard.
We also understand your comments about the volume. We apologize that the headphones are not as loud as you'd like, especially when you need that extra boost for your workouts. This is certainly not the motivating experience we aim to deliver. If you haven't already, we recommend checking your device's volume settings, as well as the Sony Headphones Connect app, to ensure the volume is turned all the way up.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Best purchase of 2020
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely fantastic headphones. The earcups are very soft and comfortable. The headphones are not so tight that they hurt my head after a few hours. They are tight enough that they stay on securely when I move my head about, though. The headband's cushion is comfortable and don't flatten my hair. I've been wearing these every day for my 8-hour work from home days and can confirm that the battery life, sound quality, and comfort are top notch. Noise cancellation is excellent and even when I'm listening to quiet classical music I can't hear my family talk right next to me. Absolutely fantastic. Pairing with my iphone xr was a breeze with the matching sony headphones app.
