Nice SOUND headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is very good, much of the surrounding "noises" are nullified by the snug fit. It's comfortable for long periods of time, the jack/cable are high quality construction and the headphones themselves are of "sound" quality. I highly recommend this product!

The perfect headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphone quality is amazing and there are so many options and settings available on the app. The UI on the app is very easy to use as well making it quick to switch modes. I work in a factory where we can listen to music and these headphones are always on me and they help so that I don’t have to hear all the loud noise around me with the noise cancelling mode. Great product!! My brother put me onto these headphones:)

Sony - WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-t
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these during the Black Friday deals and I do not regret my decision. The active noise cancellation is excellent, the sound quality is great, and the comfort when using these headphones has been great so far but they do get a bit uncomfortable if listening for a long time.

You made the right choice! Intelligent and intuitive, the WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. Meanwhile, the Equalizer lets you customize sound levels to suit your music.
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. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage.
Sony takes feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!

Sounds great !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound fantastic. They are quite comfortable, although I do notice a little tension in my neck and behind my ears sometimes if I have them on for more than a couple hours. They feel nice, great quality and sleek, matte black. I would definitely recommend these !

JUST DO IT ALREADY
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned the Bose NC 700 for these... After using both for about 2 weeks 8 hours a day for work, I can confidently give my results.... BOSE had the better NC and phone call quality... However, Sony wins on every other aspect you can imagine... Sound quality is substantially better with music and voices in general.. Not to mention you can also adjust the frequencies to your own liking.. The app is a little weird and not every feature is fully explained on the Sony headphones, but I am so glad I got them.. There are already a lot of lengthy reviews but basically between these two, I would go sony every time.. Noise cancelling is amazing but just not quite up to par with bose in my opinion.. There are different reviews stating otherwise but IN AN OFFICE SETTING, I can hear my keyboard when I type having the sony headphones on.. With BOSE, I could not hear my keyboard... However I keep hearing sony blocks more overall frequency but I have just not been in the situation to compare.

Great headphones, garbage controls
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones look and sound great. I prefer them to my bose headphones. That being said, the touch controls on the headphones are a huge steaming pile of garbage. Whoever had the bright idea to implement it was either in to deep to back out or purely clueless to what people want in their products. I have 20 year old vending machine headphones with better controls.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.4.5 / 5 Purchased for my wife - who shares my office space. She notes that during my conference calls she can still hear me; however, if I am not actively talking, the background noise gets completely drowned out. Not disappointed about the noise cancelling, however, not 100% impressed with it. Battery life is great, music quality is great, and build is great.
