Great but hmm.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and connectivity. Some laptops may have issues connecting. I added a bluetooth 4.0 dongle and it worked fine but when a call rings when connected to both the phone and Laptop while using microsoft teams I notice that the Laptop switches to the laptop microphone which if you are not aware public will hear you very low. I know it is a microsoft issue. It would been better if the cable for wired connection would have had a micropone so that in this case we could just go fully two way comunication wired . I did it by purchasing a cable and a Lavalier Mic and a spliting cable for both headphones and Mic. Another good feature would have been to have bluetooth connected to the phone and have audio and mic wired to the laptop . Again both devices can be connected via bluetooth and works great but the laptop is not reliable.

Great comfort, sound, and battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I've had three sets of noise cancelling headphones in the last year and wish I would have just gotten these first. I had the 710n, which sounded good but is noticably smaller in the ears, leading to discomfort on long flights. Battery life is epic - easy two full days of use. Sony tends to be a bit bass heavy, but the app allows adjustment to your tastes. Noise cancelling is a big step up from the 710n - easily keeps up with an airplane cabin. Keep an eye out for sales as you can usually get them for $50 off or more.

Life changing for traveling
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound quality. Tried the Bose quietcomfort initially and returned them for these instead. I used them on a trans Atlantic flight and it was incredible, couldn't hear the airplane at all. Battery seriously lasts FOREVER and the foldability is very convenient.

Amazing, Intuitive Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony WH-1000XM4s have to have been my best quarantine purchase. They are my first foray into the world of noise cancelling headphones, and they surely don't disappoint. The noise cancelling feature is absolutely amazing, in that they cancel or reduce background ambient noises to a slight hum and greatly reduce the noise level of things that are louder and closer to the wearer. This allows for the best enjoyment of music in a more blissful environment. I also make good use of the quick attention feature, which requires the user to place their hand over the right earcup to pump in surrounding sounds and noises that allow one to have a quick conversation or listen for announcements (maybe if you are waiting for a flight or a train, for example). Of course, the same effect can be achieved by simply removing the headphones, or really, just the left earcup. Inside the left earcup is a proximity sensor that detects if you are wearing the XM4s - moving it away from your ear or taking the headphones off completely pauses whatever you are listening too and automatically resumes it once the headphones are back on your head. The touch controls on the right earcup are intuitive, and easy to learn as well. Lastly, don't forget about the accompanying app! From here you can create your own customized sound profiles if you don't like the way the headphones sound out of the box. There are also other features that may interest you that you can toggle on/off from the app as well, such as Speak-to-Chat (which is like quick attention mode but uses the sound of your voice to trigger it) and Adaptive Sound Control (which may toggle Noise Cancelling off if the headphones detect you are walking a lot so you are aware of traffic/your surroundings while you walk around the city) as well as others that I won't go into! Overall, a worthy purchase - these often go on sale for around $300 or if you have some Best Buy gift cards and want to treat yourself - this is the way. But hey, if you want to pay full price, I won't judge you - these are well worth it!

Great Sony Fidelity and Noise Cancelling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Strong technology which you would expect from Sony. The noise cancelation across the entire audio spectrum including an aircraft interior is impressive. Balance and fidelity are excellent. Controls are simple to master. The one negative is the relatively fragile feel of the head phones compared to older models.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first pair of Sony headphones. Very good to listen casually. I do workout in these from time to time and they are still holding up. Just gotta make sure to wipe it down since it can get very sweaty and wet. I guess if you want it to last longer then i recommend not working out in them. The cups themselves are very very soft and comfortable. I know that when getting helix piercings you shouldnt wear over-the-ears headphone, but i still wore these a week after I got my helix, I cant go without music in public and i hate playing music thru my phone speakers. It didnt irritate my piercings for at least 2-3 hours, which im surprised because my hyperx headphones hurts but these dont.

They are extremely comfortable, easy to use, and the sound is top notch. Money well spent especially if you can catch them on sale.

Sony Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH1000XM4 headphones have quickly become a favorite of mine. The battery life is impressive, often lasting longer than I'd expect, and the noise-cancelling functionality is top-notch, really letting me immerse myself in my music or podcasts. However, there are a couple of gripes. The built-in Alexa support can be hit or miss, and the mobile app isn't the most user-friendly. Additionally, the adaptive noise-cancelling feature isn't really my cup of tea. Still, overall, these headphones deliver where it counts.
