- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Perfect blend of comfortableness, & music quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a *mild* audiophile, I appreciate good sound and enjoy hearing it but I do not wanna carry an interface in my backpack with a generator in my left hand to listen to music on my commutes and at home. And these headphones deliver, more than I thought. I grabbed it on sale but it’s really worth every penny. My only cons are you must use an app to control certain things (but that’s not entirely bad), and the worst thing is the times it’ll cut out and then start to lag with watching Netflix or anything really. Little frustrating, haven’t found a solution but other than that, awesome.

Not enough improvements compared to WH-1000XM3.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1) Headphone physical properties: Does not clamp tightly enough; constantly slide forward or backward when bending over or looking up. Earpieces become hot too quickly, even in cool weather. 2) Active noise cancellation (ACN): Very good. 3) Sound quality: Underwhelming sound quality if EQ within Sony app is not used. If EQ and app are used, sound quality improves to Good. Does not support AptX L, plus LDAC cannot be used if multipoint connection is selected. 4) Bluetooth connectivity: Multipoint function very poorly implemented - just doesn't work consistently. Otherwise stable bluetooth connectivity. 5) Controls: Touch pad works surprisingly well, BUT needs more than 1 programmable button - only allows choice of summoning Voice Assistant or control over ANC level Need both.
