Alright i guess
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From my honest opinion. These headphoes arent at all bad for nouse cancelation. They have the atmosphere that you can cgange whoch i thought was pretty cool. But a few con are one there is no bass unlike the skullcandy skullcrusher headphones. Second not loud at all unlike beats by dre. These are pretty neat though.

Headphones for the road
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like these. Wish the columns was louder. I don't like that when I start talking the headphones shut off. I forget the name of that feature but it's annoying.

Sturdy, great sound
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sturdy, great noise cancelling headphones my son uses for the gym. The earbuds fall out of his ear while working out and he has lost a couple. This ones do not fall and are very sturdy with great sound.

Posted .Hi Nick, Awesome! We are glad to hear you like the excellent noise canceling feature on your WH-1000XM4 headphones. These headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. These will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities and it doesn't have an IPX rating since it's not waterproof. I recommend you practice caution when using the unit while you are sweaty or when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise.

A Blast to the Past
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset was what I thought I wanted to replace my old Sony that was 15 years old. It seemed uncomfortable for long use. It was too heavy and too pricy. I saw so many new choices I had to try.

Excellent music headset.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome surround sound and quality. It literally surrounds your head with all the depths of the sound. Was torn between this and bose but chose this for price and almost same specs aside from the clearer voices for calls on bose. Caveat is not for gaming or zoom calls, at least in my experience.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality for gaming on my computer. Use it with Discord and when playing games. Do need to adjust some sound settings in Windows, as usual to get the sound quality back up where it should be. After that great surround sound and noise cancelling.
