Junky headphones with too many bells and whistles
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are chanty garbage for the price. I wore them for 2 months, not even daily, and one of the ear cups snapped off just from removing them off my head. Sony warranty does NOT cover physical damage and they want me to pay hundreds of dollars to repair their poorly made product. On top of that any time you try to slightly adjust the ears, settings get messed up and your music will pause. The noise cancelling feature also kicks on and off at random times. These just do not make for a great listening experience and they are not well made. You're better off getting a cheap pair of SkullCandy. At least when they break you're not out $500+. Do not buy this product.

Perfect noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones work great with my Surface Go 2, Lenovo Yoga laptop, iPod, and JBL speakers. With a Bluetooth dongle, the headphones also works well with my Nintendo Switch and Playstation 5. These are true noise cancelling headphones that block out all noises when I am on Zoom or playing video games. The con for me is that it can become uncomfortable after a long period of time.

Too big for my head and very heavy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sounded great. But I had to return them because I am a woman (pretty normal size) and they didn't adjust to be small enough to fit my ears, so they pressed on my ears at the top and made them sore after only about 3 minutes of wear. They were also way too loose to use for the gym.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendVery convenient features. Build quality issues.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones twice within a week. First ones had creaking issues in the ear cups, headband and hinges. For a premium product that is unacceptable. Took them back for Anker XR. Figured for $80 see if they didn't creak. They didn't but very uncomfortable and sound was lacking coming right from the XM4. Got a second pair of XM4 and so far so good. ANC, sound and swipe all make for a great headset. Just wish the build quality was better.

Perfect headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphone I’ve own. I had the previous version and even though there is one generation ahead I still chose this one. The case is awesome for traveling and do not take much space. Sound quality is amazing. Charges quickly. Perfect in my opinion. I wish Sony would keep this model, not a big fan of the most recent version.

A little overkill, but great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love great sounding music and am a bear for over the ear headphones most of the time. I honestly thought that I would use these more as I listen to a lot of classical music and jazz at home and am extremely picky about quality and depth of tone. These hit all those marks and then some. I think the only reason I do not use them more is because I do not carry a backpack whenever I leave the house so I am not likely to carry them around with me.

Great sound quality and convenient.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are great. The sound quality is just as good as more expensive options, and I prefer it over the XM5 since it can fold. The only issue is that the it pauses too long after a conversation.

WH1000 XM4

Really Nice, Excellent Noise Canceling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are very nice, the sound quality is good, and the noise canceling is great. Right after I got these headphones my basement flooded and part of the cleanup involved leaving very loud fans running all day but with these headphones I couldn't hear them at all. The adaptive sound control is a really neat featured. A bit on the expensive side but if you worth it in my opinion.
