Very comfortable, great sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, easy to pair, and love the sound!! The noise cancellation drowns out everything. Noise cancellation with ambient sound let’s you hear your surroundings. The music stops if you take them off for a few minutes and automatically starts when putting them back on. Well worth the price!

Excellent wireless noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones with a lot of functions and setups for active noise cancelling. It also learns your location where to activate/switch to noise cancelling etc. Sound is Good+, not the best but again I don't listen to music really out loud. Excellent design and durability.

Better than my Bose 35’s sound and noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are serious! If you want better than average noise canceling, and some good control over how to listen to your music with the App, a good bass boost, and 360 audio sound. These do the job with a great battery life for all day listening.

Great value 4.5 star
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Giving this a 4 only because the app is a little buggy. Has dual pairing options but the switches are not consistent. Headphones themselves are really well built and still top tier considering this is a dated model.

SUPER Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to drown out noise as I work from home and they did not disappoint! The headphones are very comfortable even after hours of use and the ambient noise feature is great. I initially went into the store thinking I would get a pair of Bose headphones, but am so happy I decided to browse around.

Great price. Beats the Bose.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved it so much I bought my in-laws the white and blue one. The sound is excellent. The Bass is not heavy. Worth the price. I know the 1000XM5 is out but I can't imagine it being that better than what they have already made. The battery is great.

Revolutionary headphone at its best version
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are revolutionary. I can get work done at the office even with people having conversations a few feet away. You can go on a plane and can enjoy the movie. During the pandemic, we don't do these but the revolutionary technology still stands. On top of everything else, it has great sound. Other high end headphones assume some really quiet environment to sound good. I've had great sounds at 3AM in the morning off some high end headphones but daily noise it's just not that great sounding. With the Sony, you can hear the details in your music during the middle of the day, going for a walk on a noisy street (with safe walk only paths) or just for a nap. For all movies, I just use headphones now. Roku lets you watch a stream from your phone while watching on the TV and we just do that when we watch a movie together. These headphones give you peace and quiet when you need it and loud and noisy when you need them without bothering anyone else and letting anyone else bother you. Game changing technology.

I highly recommend these to everyone and area WELL worth the price.

I prefer Sony WH-1000XM4 over the others
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simply the best noise cancelling headphones I have tried. Better than Bose or Beats at the same price level. These are comfortable. The mic is great for calls and zoom sessions. Then, when you need music the sound and clarity are the best without being overly base thumpy. The case is great too.

Very nice Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will give 5 stars to this product, but when you use it the only negative thing is that you don't feel them so tight on your head, besides that, they are really great and with the updated app from Sony the options for the sound coming out of the speakers OMG...Great! , I don't think they could manufacture a better product, I own Bose, Beat, those are good products, but these Headphones are way better, very happy with them.
