Sony XM4
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for a while now, and honestly, they’ve completely changed how I listen to music. The noise cancellation is so good it feels like I’m in my own little world, and the sound quality is rich and detailed, everything just sounds better. I love how comfortable they are, even during long work sessions, and the smart features like auto-pause when I take them off make them feel almost futuristic. They’ve become one of my favorite everyday gadgets.

Posted .Hi SamM, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying your new Sony XM4 headphones. It's great to know that you appreciate their exceptional sound quality, long battery life, user-friendly app, seamless connectivity, comfort, and effective noise-canceling features. We understand that you may be experiencing discomfort during extended wear, and we apologize for that. We recommend adjusting the headband to better fit your head. As for the noise-cancelling feature, your headphones are equipped with a function called NC Optimizer. This feature enhances noise cancellation by analyzing factors such as the shape of your face, hairstyle, how you wear the headset (including whether you wear glasses), and changes in air pressure, such as when you're on an airplane. For optimal performance, we suggest running the NC Optimizer function the first time you use the headset, whenever your wearing conditions change, or when transitioning between being on an airplane and on the ground. For more information, please visit: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752831.html. For more information regarding the noise cancelling you may refer to this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752738.html Hope this information helps! If you need further assistance or have additional concerns, may we contact you directly? If so, please email the following information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

Best noise cancellation and battery life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation is incredible. Superior to any earbud style headphones with noise canceling, including my AirPod pros which I was using previously. The battery lasts all day which is important to me since I use them for pc gaming and watching videos for long periods. They are very comfortable and surprisingly light on your head. Yes, they are pricey, and I was hesitant to buy until I saw they were on sale. But now that I’ve been using them regularly I can be confident in purchasing future models at full price if need be.

Sony’s best headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What I really like about these headphones are the bass and clarity it produces. Very comfortable to wear especially on a long flight or a long ride. The noise cancellation feature work exceptionally well. One flaw that these headphones doesn’t do well is the mic. Other than that. I would highly recommend these headphones.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was on the fence about spending a lot on a pair of headphones, but I have to say I continue to be more and more impressed by these headphones. The noise cancelling is outstanding, they are very comfortable, and the sound great. I really like the bass response. It’s strong without being muddy or overwhelming the rest of the music. It’s also great that they have several eq modes to help find a sound that suits you. Finally, the ability to connect to two Bluetooth devices is very helpful.

The best headphones ever.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are far and away the best over-the-ear headphones I've ever owned. They're so light and comfortable that it's easy to forget you have them on. And the noise cancelling is incredible. Definitely worth the $200 I paid for them. The sound quality is also amazing. The full audio range is clear, and the bass is thumping. Not to mention, the connectivity is great, and the app is intuitive. I simply love everything about these headphones.

Great headset
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headset for the gym. These are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I was worried they would get ruined by the sweat but I make sure to dry them after every workout and I added a couple of silica bags to keep them dry after each use. They have a great sound and excellent sound quality. The battery last for a very very long time as well. Ever since I bought them back in February of 2022 I’ve only charge them 3 times.

great listening experience
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had these for over a year now, great headphones overall. Noise cancelling is insane, music quality is crisp and clear. The app has a lot of options lets you adjust the EQ levels very specifically if you so choose. They're comfortable enough that I've fallen asleep wearing them before. The only downsides I find in these headphones is that they will slide off during some workouts at the gym, (mostly ones where you lay flat or at an angle). And they get a bit sweaty while working out, but really what over-ear headphones don't get sweaty, y'know? I also have trouble connecting them with my computer sometimes, but that just might be user error...

Amazing noise cancelling, best purchase for WFH
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are quite pricey but the noise cancelling capabilities are truly high quality, better than Bose in my opinion. I'm still getting used to the voice command feature, as the headphones sometimes pause to listen when I'm singing along to music. The tech is overall really advanced and convenient. I like that I can connect it to both my phone and laptop, but I sometimes have a hard time transitioning back and forth, especially when when I try to pick up a phone call and am video chatting on my laptop, but that will likely get easier with tie
