Best headphones on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was between these and the Bose 700 and these definitely take the cake. Noise canceling is amazing and the on ear detection is great. Tons of little things as well such as auto turn off whenever you put them in the case or if they are off of your ears for 15 minutes.

Posted .Hi Bph1209, you definitely made the right choice with these headphones. 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.

Fantastic product for noise cancelling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic noise cancelling and sound quality. The only small grievance is that, ergonomically, you can definitely feel the pressure and sweat after several hours with them on such as plane rides

I wanted to love these
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great on a plane. I can cancel out sounds. I can listen to music. They are comfortable to wear. I absolutely can NOT use them for work. I work from home and the sound quality is horrid. I purchase other headphones that are a fith of the cost of these that were 1000x better in call sound quality.

Differencemaker.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Came from the AirPods Pro over to these and not looking back. Amazing quality and robust features - still finding more. The Midnight Blue color is sick. Only drawback is that your ears and head will need a break after a few hours.
