Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using ear buds for quite awhile but thought I’d try a good set of headphones and so far have been extremely satisfied. They’re not so heavy to cause discomfort and they are very good at isolating other sounds in the room. Being cordless really makes being mobile extra good!

Effective Noise Cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome noise canceling headphones. Great features that speak to you to let you know if it’s on or off and how much battery is left. I use this to drown out my riding lawn mower noise as I mow. With the Bluetooth function I listen to my favorite tunes the whole time.

Great quality, functional, sleek, would buy again
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love: I love these especially for listening to music, streaming shows/movies, walking while listening to things. Great noise-cancelling feature and the ambient background noise option is great when I need a little white noise, but not full-blown noise while working in places like open-office spaces, cafes, etc. HOWEVER: The only thing I don't like about them is that when I'm on the phone, sometimes the noise-cancelling feature doesn't work as well when I'm in a crowded place with some noise and the noise-cancelling feature is actively trying to cancel noise, you feel me? That's the only thing that bothers me so far, otherwise, I LOVE THEM! Color: Headphones are professional, sleek-looking, and pairs well with my other tech things. The slightly pearl looking finish is a nice touch, especially since over-the-ear headphones can look very bulky/chunky. Comfort: Great, soft headpiece at the top, very comfortable ear pieces. I don't know about you, but I hold a lot of heat in my head which makes wearing these for more than 1 hour in the winter time (northeast US) a little uncomfortable. However, they make for good earmuffs when I'm jumping in and out of the car when shopping. Price: I paid the sale price on these which wasn't too bad, but I had to wait a year or two for them to be the price I was willing to pay. Overall: I am not disappointed! Love these and would buy them again in the future.

Top of the line noise cancelling headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noice cancelling. These headphones are lighter than the WH-1000XM2 that are being replaced. Build quality is not as robust as the older pair, but sound is better. Great deal when on sale. Best Buy is the only store that offers the Midnight Blue color which I like the best.

Very satisfied with purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. Very sturdy. Affordable for the brand name. The design is simple and adore the color of our purchase. Not disappointed at all. Very comfortable to wear but depending on the duration, it can get uncomfortable. One improvement is to improve the cleaning aspect.

Great Sound, Mixed Features.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound very good and the features they come with can be very useful, though some of those features have a few annoying knacks that could annoy some people. Again, if sound is all you care about, these are great noise cancelling headphones that sound fantastic. Now for the issues. These headphones have a few quality of life features. For example, if you're wearing them and you begin walking, it'll turn off noise cancelling. Sometimes. If you tap the right headphone, it'll pause. Sometimes. If you take off your headphones it'll pause your media automatically. Sometimes. There are some great features though a lot of them are unreliable. These features can be turned off via the headphones app if it annoys you. Overall, a solid pair of headphones. I give a thumbs up.

My apartment is next to a busy road, when I'm doing hw, the noise cancellation is amazing. Sometimes I don't even use it for music, but just pure Bliss and silence.

Amazing ANC and Incredible Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these for the ANC, I was blown away by the 360 Reality Audio. If you are looking at the XM4s or even the XM3s, you already know that they have set the bar for ANC. When you put these on, you just hear all that background noise woosh away putting you into silence. I've had other headphones from Anker SoundCore, to Cowin to some weird Chinese brands from Amazon and nothing comes close to the level of ANC that Sony can produce. It is truly incredible. Playing around with the Sony app(s), I stumbled upon the 360 sound demo and I was not expecting it to work as well as it did. Then I found some of the 360 / 3D / 8D videos on YouTube and it is awesome. Goofy ones like the Tucker Zone that will make you turn your head because you could swear someone was behind you knocking on a door, to songs remastered in a way that is like 5.1 and goes beyond your typical stereo effect. I can't believe I waited so long to purchases these, but I am so glad I finally did.

Very good sound and noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great, quality and build is great. Expensive because they are fantastic. All the great reviews are true, I won’t repeat it all, but I will mention a couple of small complaints, but I still love these headphones. 1) My hair isn’t what you would call long, but these things tend to pluck a hair out every time I take them off. It has gotten less so as I have become more careful but the reason for this is also problem 2 2) Sony always makes these foldable headphones. I couldn’t care less that they fold, and I don’t care or need a cute little case they fold into. I just put them in my backpack anyway, and I get the feeling Sony puts all this r and d into this stupid folding feature. Unnecessary moving parts make them feel cheap and wiggly, and pinch my hair out, and I bet I’m paying more for this annoyance. They are built to last, but I don’t think I am alone in NOT GIVING A CRAP that they FOLD UP. 3) The charging cable is like three inches long...
