Sony Rocks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones at this moment, they notch the Bose or at least tie it. Bose have been my favorite headphones for many years but now I have decided Sony at least for now. The larger ear cups cover the ears comfortable, the strong base is strong a tight but not abusive strong, easy Sony app available for the phone. If Sony keeps it up, they would be top on my list for some time.

Posted .Hi PapiLaz, you definitely made the right choice! Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music. The addition of Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 masterfully eliminates the noise around you. Listen all day with up to 30 hours of battery life. Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.
To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best Noise Canceling Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling headphones. Have worn this pair on many flights and I could never travel without it. The best part is the sound which can be tuned to your liking via the Sony Headphones app. I've tried Bose Q45 but switched over to Sony once I heard the sound profile.

Audio cancellation takes a bit to getting use to the headphones will change settings entering and exiting different environments.

Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the new features on these bad boys there’s no need to look anywhere else for noise cancelling. Compared with beautiful sound these can’t be beaten at this price. My best feature of these are the Adaptive sound control. Living in the city I have to use public transportation so the noise cancelling kicks in automatically when it knows I’m moving at certain speeds. Then shuts off when stopped. Perfect!

After downloding the Sony headphone and creating my own sound profile, my thoughts did a 180. They sound incredible and i love the hand-to-ear ambient sound feature that allows you to listen in on whats going on around you. Top notch!!
