Perfect for work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife absolutely loves these, and they're helping her concentrate at work! She charges them about once a week and they last her. She even brought them on vacation to distract herself during my driving shifts. Love love LOVE the color. In fact I accidentally ordered the black and had to return them and get the blue.

Great battery life and noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing! Im so goad i got them. They are incredible at noise cancelling and look amazing. I’ve also gone WEEKS without charging- bow this was using maybe only for a couple of house (5-6) but still amazing! The only thing is, the headphones can slide off my head a bit when movinf but i don’t mind too much.

Great Sony Fidelity and Noise Cancelling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Strong technology which you would expect from Sony. The noise cancelation across the entire audio spectrum including an aircraft interior is impressive. Balance and fidelity are excellent. Controls are simple to master. The one negative is the relatively fragile feel of the head phones compared to older models.

Great headphones! Just one problem..
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are of superior build quality. There is an issue that arises with extended use, or more specifically, extended use with too much pressure on the earcups. Earwax manages to penetrate all the way to the active noise cancellation chip, leading to an incredibly loud, annoying, and seemingly never-ending high pitched ring. The problem can be solved by taking apart the headset but it’s inconvenient. Apart from that, the ANC and audio quality are everything you could expect at this price point.

Posted .Hi Tony,
Thanks for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. We're very happy to hear that you appreciate the superior build quality, audio performance, and noise cancellation.
We are sorry to hear about the specific issue you've experienced with the high-pitched ringing. We understand how frustrating and inconvenient this can be, and we truly appreciate you providing such a detailed description of the problem's cause. We do not recommend that customers take apart their headphones, as this can cause further damage and may void the warranty.
This type of issue can sometimes be caused by moisture or debris affecting the internal microphones used for noise cancellation. For an official solution, we recommend contacting our support team directly. They can provide you with the proper servicing options to ensure your headphones are restored to full performance while maintaining their integrity.

Sony makes the best headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfy, easy to wear, especially with glasses. It has 3 modes: Noise Cancelling, Ambient Sound and Off and the noise cancelling is very good. There are some minor things like the battery and sensitivity to voice but nothing that is hard to get used to. It also folds up and the case is very hard so it protects. Overall I love these headphones.

Audiophile Wonder
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony is known for high end audio, and this is no exception! Even better than the MX3, the bass is really deep, and the high end is clear with easily discernible vocal notes. You can hear instruments individually, not all meshed together. This really makes a difference in your enjoyment of music! I was considering the Bose 700, but Sony offers so much more flexibility on their app to let you control the performance. You won't be disappointed in this choice!

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best set of headphones I've ever used. I'm not an audiophile or anything like that, though. I mostly just use them while working or while cutting the lawn (noise cancelling works great as ear protection and the music is a bonus). They are very comfortable and they sound great.

Absolutley amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted these headphones for a while because my work changed to work from home, my cheap headphones finally broke so I ordered these finally when they were on sale. I wish I would have bought them a year ago, they sound absolutely amazing, I was worried because I listen to a lot of metal and usually the bas isnt there in cheaper headphones, but these sound amazing. I highly recommend them.

One of my Best Purchases!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is fantastic and the noise canceling is top notch. I’ve gotten used to the touch controls. One of my favorite features is the connection to 2 devices. I switch between my iPhone 12 Pro and IPAD seamlessly. I created my own equalizer setup in the app and use it all the time. The case is handy and it is a quality built case. Battery life works as advertised. Just put on Shazam’s top 100 (Apple Music) sit back and enjoy.

Buy them if you can get them for the right price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros -Sounds great. This is how I want to listen to music. -Noise cancelation works great. Negates alot of sound although not as much as I thought without music playing. - Innovative app. Cons - Speak to Chat feature is gimmicky. If you sing along to songs like I do then it is practically useless you use it for podcasts. - Touch controls don't react sometimes. Toss ups - I don't feel like the Battery last the advertised 30 hours but its good enough.

Great noise cancellation and sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have excellent sound quality and the noise cancelling lives up to its reputation as best-in-class. The headphones are also very comfortable (I wear them for between 2 and 4 hours several times a week). I cannot recommend these highly enough, especially if you can catch them on sale. I'm not a big fan of the app, but I also haven't used it very much. I primarily use these while on my computer, which works well.

A very good purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first bluetooth headphone. I've used it for two months and it is a wonder. Noise cancelling is very good. It is surprising when I come to ambient....I realize how silent the noise cancelling is. I think the sound quality is excellent. A true audiophile might not think so but I have been very happy. The build quality is very good and the unit is light as a feather. This headphone is a deal when BB puts it on sale for 278.00.
