Sound great.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared Bose NC 700 and Apple AirPods Max to these Sony WH- 1000XM4. To my ears, the Sony headphones sound the best...with tweak of EQ settings. Noise cancelling is very good. At a price of $250...can't beat them.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing headphones and have great build quality and sound. Only thing I have reservations is easy of set up and the battery seems to drain quick and takes a long time to charge, other than that they're great.

Great value for the price, but an honest opinion
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve tried a lot of noise canceling headphones and most of them either have a poor seal on the earmuffs or not enough white noise to isolate outside noise. These headphones do a great job at balancing noise cancellation and audio quality. The only drawback is the microphone is spotty sometimes when calling someone.

They're great Sony went cheap on power cable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first noise canceling headphones ever. I went with Sony bc they are a good brand imo. Have no experience with other noise canceling headphones so can't compare. They are great though, best to get on sale imo. They don't come with a power adapter and the charging cable is only 3 inches!!!!! I charge them about once every 2 weeks. The sensors and touch controls are nice and didn't take long to get use to.

Everything and more...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was everything I was hoping for in noise cancelling headphones. I purchased another name brand pair and returned them because of the performance. I also like the NC Optimizer for different situations. The only drawback is the app you must use is not as intuitive as I hoped.

Great if they fit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about these is great. The one issue is user dependent - which is that the ear cups might bother your ears after a while. If they do, maybe the new version is a better choice. If they don’t, lucky you. The price to quality here now is excellent.
