Best Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. I am currently able to drown out some incredibly loud building construction without blowing my ear drums apart. My husband and I both bought a pair. I love the touch to talk feature that lowers the noise cancelling so you can talk to your partner, then just go back to listening to music, or watching tv. I have to check sometimes to see if construction is really still happening because it gets that tuned out.

Sound
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased these headphones. They sound good so far. But you are right in relation to the touch control. I'm not getting the pause when I double tap, that I do when I use my Bose in NC700s. However the volume up and the forward and reverse or should I say forward track and previous track. Does seem to work.

Posted .Hi JhonD,
Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear you like the sound quality of the Sony headphones. We do apologize for the inconvenience. The sensor of the touch sensor control panel is built into the flat surface of the right unit. Operate within the range of the sensor. When you swipe your finger forward/backward or up/down on the touch sensor control panel, the touch sensor control panel may not work correctly depending on the angle at which the headset is worn or the direction your head is facing. Also, the headset will not operate correctly when you operate the headset with your fingernail or a gloved hand. Remove your glove, and operate the headset with the ball of your finger.

The best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have to be the best noise cancelling headphones every. You can change the level of noise cancelling you would like when you're walking, running, on the bus or just hanging out. You can not hear anything but peaceful silence when the nose cancelling is in full effect. I would recommend these to everyone that wants that quiet time in noisy places. The other features of the headphone are great as well. These are well rounded amazing noise cancelling headphones. They're worth every penny.

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are worth every penny. I got them on sale which is even better. They sound fantastic. The biggest benefit for purchasing these is the advertised industry leading noise canceling abilities. For once something lives up to the claim. They have been fantastic when used at the gym to cancel out the music played by the gym or the sound of the treadmill. Can't wait to try them when i mow my grass for the first time in the Spring.

Good, not Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not an Audiophile, but I Love music, especially when I can hear and distinguish each instrument. I really like when I can hear the drumsticks taping the symbols. These headphones sound really good, but to my ears, they don't let me hear individual instruments so well. I returned them and are still searching. Wish I still had my old Radio Shack Realistic headphones from the 70's.

Posted .Hi Pminter,
Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones didn't meet your preference for hearing individual instruments. It sounds like you have a great ear for detail, a quality that's often best served by headphones with a more neutral sound profile. If you're still looking for that detailed sound, we invite you to check out our latest model, the Sony WH-1000XM6. They feature a new driver unit and audio processor specifically designed to deliver a clearer, more precise soundstage, making it easier to distinguish each instrument and hear the subtle details you're after.
Thank you for considering Sony products!
Best regards,
Dominick

Absolute Best
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones ever, for the price. The update to be able to connect to two different items is one of my fave “newests”. This is actually my second pair after not being the kindest to my first pair. I have autism and these headphones help massively for my sensory overload issues. I wear them constantly, especially with their 30 hour playback. I absolutely love my pair of headphones and never go anywhere without them.
