Sound booth good!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise canceling over ear headphones you can buy! Get these over the xm5 due to the xm4 ability to fold up and fit in a smaller carry case compared to the xm5 that dont fold at all. The headphones are worth every penny because when you put them on ALL unwanted noise pollution is gone! Perfect companion for NYC commuters!

Great Wireless NC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been researching for decent wireless headphones and I have been a fan of Sony for quite some time. Sony delivers a great punch for their sound and I have always trusted the quality. These wireless NC headphones have some added features that our quite handy aside from the NC, but the talk through as well. These are the best technology advanced headphones and well worth the price.

Practical and stylish
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing beats these in value or style. Noise canceling is great, surround sounds makes me feel like I’m at the movies, and they make me look cool. Only feature I don’t like is the speak-to-chat. I’ve disabled it multiple times but, since my family likes to steal my headphones, it keeps reactivating. They’re easy to carry and work even better using the analog aux cable.

The best just got better!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not boosting on how many headphones I own but I use it for business and pleasure and I have to say this model exceeds all the past models. I love this more than Bose because the noise cancelling is second to none. The case is very compact and can easily be hung on your back pack or carry on luggage for easy travel. The gold color looks very stylish to me and holds off stains very well (as of yet).

Good replacement for last pair
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 4 years of use on my old Sony pair, the right ear went out. I went with these after looking at other Sony models, mainly due to price and the specs I wanted -- wireless, noise cancelling, over ear. Talking features are great (noise cancelling turning off when you begin speaking), as is noise cancelling. These aren't as comfortable as my last pair, but do have a slimmer profile. Carrying case is a nice touch. Battery doesn't last nearly as long as my last pair, but given that these seem to have more going on inside, it makes sense.

We are so glad to hear that your husband is enjoying his new WH-1000XM4 headphones!

I use them at work to block out sounds to help me focus. They work amazing on planes and for daily use. When it's time to buy another pair I'm going for this model because they're better than the nee ones in my opinion.

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.

Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for my wife and she couldn't handle the noise canceling/air pressure while listening to music. I ended up using them myself for a few days and they are amazing. Honestly the best sounding wireless headphones I've ever used. The noise canceling is incredible and the features work flawlessly.

Ok but far from perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are really good headphones, but I like the second version more. These are lighter and sound better. The battery is nowhere near as good as the second version. These last two work days and end up with less than twenty percent battery left over. Version two would last at least three full days. These also squeak on my glasses when I turn my head. I can hear it even when I’m playing music loudly. The control pad doesn’t seem to track gestures as good as the second version.
