Good Pair of Over Ear Headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are quite comfy in my opinion. These are my first pair of over ear headphones and I am pleased with the sound quality. The noise cancellation and touch controls are also good as well. I bought them on sale and I think the price to feature ratio is quite good.

Expensive but good headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 is good wireless noise cancelling headphone. I have not used other high end headphones and hence cannot compare. Usage: Primarily for conference calls using computer audio Pros: Battery life Sound quality Pair 2 devices simultaneously Cons: After 6 months of usage, hear some hiss occasionally. Read that this is due to the moisture build up. Need to disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth and run the "Test connection" wizard to verify for webex calls to get the audio going.

Real does a good job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never had sound cancellation headphones before. They were more than I wanted to spend, even on sale. But I am glad I did and wish I had got them years ago. These work well. Use them at gym, beach and even at home if watching something when I don’t want to bother anyone. Just about tunes everything out. My wife’s not crazy about that. ;-) Battery lifer is good but not great when compared to my previous Sony headphones. Not sure but maybe something to do with sound cancellation ?

Truly amazing sound & active noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously purchased the wh-1000xm3's in July because I needed a pair of excellent sounding ANC headphones. I knew the xm4's would come out eventually but I needed something then. Shortly after I purchased the xm3's the announcement of the xm4's happened & I received them in time to return the xm3's but not without comparing them. Like most reviews state, the look & style is nearly identical between both. The ear cups are a little bit bigger on the xm4's. Even though the xm4's don't have as many Bluetooth codecs as the xm3's they still sound amazing & I am very picky about sound quality. I could not notice any differences between the two models playing the same music in the same environment. The xm3's may have slightly better soundstage separation but it is a very small difference. The ANC is a little better in the xm4's & they also have multipoint Bluetooth. That means I can have them connected to my computer & phone without having to manually connect it to one source at a time. That is a really nice convenience & it works flawlessly for me. The xm3's are great headphones but the xm4's just take it farther & are more user friendly. I whole heartedly recommend these headphones if you want amazing sound with class leading ANC. You will not be disappointed!

Incredible features, incredible sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones don’t come cheap, that’s for sure, but they are most certainly worth it. The amount of different functions don’t has added to these this year is incredible! The first thing is the “headset off, music pause” feature. When you take the headphones off they instantly pause and when you put them on they resume. Super convenient! Next thing is the ambient noise feature. If you place your whole hand on the right headphone it automatically lowers the sound and plays the ambient sound around you, making quick comments to people easy to do without taking off the headphones. The final thing I want to mention is the conversation feature. When you speak the headphones recognize it and pause your music letting in amplified ambient noise, allowing you to have a conversation. It then turns off after not detecting your voice for a set amount of time or when you double tap to resume music. These are just a few features that are already making my life more fun and musical and less difficult. I would definetely recommend these! Reminder that I only mentioned 3 of many many features! I didn’t even talk about automatic noise cancelling based on location, an equalizer in the app, 360 surround sound, personalized sound based on ear shape, and way more!
