Pricey but worth it if you care about music.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven’t test a different set of headphones but they sound really good, noise canceling its unreal when you have music on the only thing I notice is that they get kinda warm in your ear when they are self power, but I use them to edit videos with the cable in comes with and they don’t create any heat so they are more confortable to use. The only thing I didn’t like was the feature that silence music when you talk I think is way to sensitive but you can turn it off so after that there is no issues. Two things that I really like is the feature that you put your hand over the right headphone to listen the outside, and the other one is that you can change between 2 different Bluetooth devices and change between them very easy.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the price drop since the release of the XM5, these are a great value. Battery life was exactly as advertised, and maybe longer if not using bluetooth. Noise cancelling performance was great, although I don't have experience with the current XM5, so I can't compare.

Great sound and NC function
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphones. I like to use these to drown out ambient noise while watching a movie. With the 360 sound imbedded into these phones it really immerses you into what you’re watching on screen. I actually prefer this to my sound bar. Also, the bass great but is not too punchy. The noise cancelling feature is my main selling point on these: drowns out a city bus and even on the subway. It may be a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for.

Excellent Headphones, Poor microphone
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to love these headphones, but the microphone quality isnt clear. Noise cancelling is top notch. Super comfortable. Audio is excellent. App works with ease. Auto Bluetooth switching between laptop and phone is amazing. The one negative I cant get over is the microphone quality. I have to use these for work conference calls, and the people on the other side had trouble understanding me. I'll had to return these for a pair with better mic quality. If you plan on using these as just headphones and the occasional phone call, I would definitely buy these. If you need clarity of voice for conference calls and audio blocking, maybe try something else like the Bose or Surface Headphone.

Posted .Hi rh612, thank you so much for the 4 Star review. We are pleased you are satisfied with the incredible noise canceling function, amazing sound quality, multipoint connection function, and comfortable fit of these headphones. We are really sorry if the microphone quality did not live up to your expectations and that it needs to be returned.

One of the best over-ear wireless BT headsets
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned Bose QC 35 IIs, but I'm happy to be back in the Sony Eco-system. The ear cups are very comfortable and can be worn for hours at a time with minimal discomfort. A lot of convenient features such as the touch gestures, USB-C charging, and "hand over right earcup to talk to people" make this headset one of my favorite. The sound quality is on-par with the Bose, and I think the headband is more comfortable.

Awesome headphones for true music lovers!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these headphones. Purchased a few goodies over the holiday sale period, and these are by far our favorite. Outperform our BOSE headphones, AirPod Pros, and Jabra Elite 85Ts (yes, I know these are not earbuds). The crazy good battery life, excellent spatial/3D/360 sound through Amazon Music, makes these an even better deal. Easily 20+ hours on a single charge. Buy them, you won't regret it.

Best Wireless Headphones for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wireless Headphones can get a bad wrap from audiophiles, but the Sony WH-1000XM4's simply have the best all-around value of any wireless headphone on the market. They are comfortable, convenient, reliable, sound great, and have a great warranty. On top of that, they have a great app which allows you to customize your sound and enable/disable various settings like Speak-to-Chat.
