Great sound but cheap feel
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Of course the sound quality and noise cancellation on these headphones are top notch. You would expect nothing less from Sony. The only real issue I have with these is the build quality, the plastic housing gives them a real cheap feel. However, thus far they have shown no degradation or apparent wear and tear.

Sony WH-1000XM4 NC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great. I tried my son's set and decided I would like to have a pair. The BT pairs well with my Laptop, TV, or Cell phone and the app on my phone controls which (up to two devices). Updates have gone smooth and the charge on the battery lasts a long time.

Best ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried the XM3s and loved them but ended up returning them because they couldn't connect to my laptop and my phone at the same time. The XM4s fixed that. Comfortable, best audio, easy to use. Slightly disappointed with the microsoft teams and zoom quality as it doesn't use the stereo codec but that could also be my fault.

Great wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Great audio quality using my LG V35 as the source with LDAP Bluetooth. Noise canceling seemed OK but the real test will be when I fly with them next month. Haven't tried ising the wired connection yet. Only complaint that I am sure I can fix by tweaking the software is that the headphones are too sensitive and pause playing whenever you make a sound, even clearing your throat. I realize this is a feature to pause playing when you start a conversation but it is just too sensitive.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great. I’ve had headphones from all kinds of brands, including Apple, Bose, and Soundcore, and these are by far the best. They look really nice and sound even better. Their noise cancellation and other features are far superior to anything I’ve owned to date.

Very sweet noise-cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only other time I've ever used a noise-cancelling headphones was at the shooting-range. It works similar but not that extreme. I used these to study in Starbucks during heavy traffic. It does well in blocking, enough to concentrate and still be able to faintly hear your named being called.

Love this Headphones - Noise Canceling is 2nd to n
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Some of the best noise-canceling headphones I have ever owned and it's why Sony is at the top of the food chain for noise cancellations. The only con is they are comfortable for a few hours but if you wear glasses they may start to become a little less comfortable after a couple of hours.
