||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Bose 700 and with the noise canceling on I could still hear my roommates yapping downstairs with my door closed and music at moderate volume. I returned them for these Sony’s. BEST DECISION EVER. I can’t hear them at all. The Sony app is also more seem less than Bose.

Great noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best headphones ever! Just got off a flight sitting infront a crying infant and singing toddler and heard NONE OF IT! Noise canceling is so good, it's almost scary how silent it can get if not playing any audio.

Outstanding
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding purchase, these have been the standard for a few years and perform as well as the newer XM-5 without a few of the bells and whistles. But at 1/2 the price.

Class leading noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the prior version WH-1000XM3 for about 18 months, and absolutely was amazed by the sound and noise cancellation, absolutely worth it for several flights. These have kept everything I loved about the prior units and, improved in a few small areas, such as multiple Bluetooth connection capability.

Choose these
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are fantastic. I also have the xm3 so these are very similar. However, better range and they link to more than one source. Noise cancelation is great. If you are a fan of bose, go for those, if you are undecided between the two, these are amazing and have some neat touch response features!

They work great for listening to music or audio books. They are also great when I have a meeting so I don't have to use the computer speakers. They fit great and don't make my ears feel gross.

Great upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones. I upgraded from the 3s and even though feature wise the changes aren’t drastic, it was enough to prompt me to buy these on sale. What really has me over the moon is that the ear cups are slightly larger than my older ones making them much comfier to wear.

Really nice.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound VERY nice. As usual with noise-cancelling headphones, the soundstage isn't very wide, but the tones all come through nice, even, and clear. I would say the noise cancelling sounds like having normal in-ear gummy earbuds, or putting your fingers in your ears.

Posted .Hi Myxo, thank you for the awesome review! We're glad you like the sound quality of your new headphones. If you haven’t already, download the Sony - Headphones Connect APP. This will give you the ability to fine tune your music using the built-in equalizer.
And to ensure you're getting the optimal noise canceling experience, please try to follow the guidelines and troubleshooting steps below:
Make sure that the noise canceling function is turned on.
Adjust the headset into a comfortable position.
Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off.
Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
