A Worthy Investment!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! I use it to listen to music primarily when im winding down before bed. It pairs really fast and I really like how you can fine tune and adjust sound settings. The case is great too as it is durable and folds neatly inside the case. Perfect for travel too as it blocks out the outside noise with the noise cancelling feature. Uses USB-C charging which works great if you are an Apple user. These headphones are expensive but think of it as a worthy investment!

My traveling studio companion
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the loudest of loud airplanes with the most talkative neighbors in the seats around me I've found studio quality audio and noise cancellation with these Sony headphones. The hires audio sounds I'm able to get via bluetooth are fantastic. I did purchase the adapters for both USB-C and Apple Lightning so I could hardwire to either my iPad Pro or the Apple iPhone 13 Pro but I'm honestly not sure its needed.

Absolutely unreal
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling alone just when you put them on your head while powered off is amazing. Turned on? Oh my goodness. Fired up the "Blade Runner" vinyl and quickly had my mind blown. The Sony Headphones app is great and easily allows you to connect to devices, update firmware, EQ and more. I would give this an extra star if I could.

Love these
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these on sale for a great deal.. Amazing sound quality. My TV wouldn't turn up the volume high enough for my liking so I use an aux chord to my controller. I use the dolby atmos app on my Xbox and it really brought these headphones to life. It makes games and movies sound much more full and dynamic. Using them on my phone is flawless. Music sounds fantastic and podcast sound rich. The app is easy to use and I like that you can adjust the eq settings. The noise canceling works great too!

The music sounds so incredibly clear and I like that I’m able to custom the listen quality to my liking. My only issue with these is they take a while to connect to my phone but I believe that’ll stop over time since they’re still pretty new.

Excellent all around
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. I had the originals and decided to upgrade to the Mk 4s. The noise cancellation is amazing. I can sit right next to a window air conditioner and hear nothing but silence. Sound quality is very good in most aspects. The bass is a little heavy at low volume and a little light at very high volumes, but overall it's still pleasing. The speak to talk feature is clever. And the ability to focus on voices and filter out other sounds works better than I expected. All in all, I'm pleased.

||Posted .

It's finally the time to upgrade! The Mark 4 has excellent sound quality and NC capabilities. I love the multi-point function, which solved a long-standing pain point for the 1000X series and is perfect for working from home.
