Best noise cancellation over the ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best noise canceling over the ear headphones. It sounds great, comfortable for your ear and light weight. Case is convenient to travel with. The only issue I had “my ears gets hot after an hour or so” which is not comfortable for me. I don’t over the ear headphones are for me. 10/10

Posted .Hi DeepakK, Thank you for the great review! We're thrilled you like the amazing noise cancellation, great sound quality, comfortable fit, lightweight design, and portable carrying case of your new Sony WH-1000XM4.

The best keep getting better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have now had the XM2, XM3 and now the XM4 models of these headphones and they never fail to impress me. It is hard to make them a lot better for sound quality and comfort but Sony adds mild tweaks every model to make them that much better. The noise cancelling is fantastic. We just got back from an airplane trip to Florida and when we got off the plane my wife said "Wow, that kid behind us was annoying" and I said what kid? Never heard them. Pros: Sound quality. Very even and balanced and if you have personal preferences you can manage that on the EQ in the app. Bluetooth range and pairing. Easy to pair range at least 30 feet even thru walls Comfort. They do seal around the ears well and after a long wearing period I do get some "ear sweats" but they are never uncomfortable. Noise cancelling is superb Able to cup your hand over right earcup to hear someone talking to you. Sensor that detects when you remove the headphones and pauses the music. (new for XM4) Adjusts noise cancelling depending on what environment you are in. Very intuitive and easy to use app for adjustments and tweaks. Case is well built and looks classy and they do hold up well. Cons: The only thing I can say I do not care for is the speech recognition that pauses the music when you speak. If you just clear your throat the music will pause but it can be easily turned off in the app. If you are looking for a pair of high end headphones with noise cancelling I cannot recommend these enough. You will not be disappointed.

Sony vs. Bose
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price point, I am happy with my purchase. I read a lot of reviews between these Sony and the Bose, and because I am an Android user, I chose the Sony. The battery life is great, the noise cancelling is decent, and the sound is good. I don't think these are as crisp and clean as the Bose brand, but I am happy with the overall product. I would recommend the Sony headphones.

Excellent Sound Quality and Noise Cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I almost didn't buy these- but I am glad I did. The sound quality is superb, especially for the price. The model is already a couple of years old but abosutely worth it. I honestly forget to charge it because the battery life is that good. My main driver during flights, long or short.

She loves them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My own personal review of the pair I purchased for myself gave these a lower rating because they pinched my head too much, this review is for the pair I purchased for my GF. She absolutely loves them and uses 3-4 a week. She says the bass thumps and its very clear. She likes being able to put her hand over the earmuff and for the noise cancellation to stop. The sound she says is great and she plans to use these for years to come.

Best Headphones on the Market for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is better than my old Bose QC ll's and rival the AirPod Pro's which provide a better seal only because of the in ear design. Sound quality is and bass on the XM4's is better as well. Good for the type of music I listen to and I love that they give you an equalizer to really fine tune to your preference, Touch controls took some getting used to but work great and really give the headphones a nice look.
