Great for my college aged son
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son wanted noise canceling headphones for Christmas and asked for these after doing a lot of research. He loves them! I haven’t listened to them, but he has and also has borrowed my Bose headphones. He likes the sound better through these and says the canceling works very well.

Posted .Hi KenW,
That is an incredible find! Getting the WH-1000XM4 for $160 is a fantastic deal, especially since they remain a gold standard for noise cancellation and sound quality. We are so glad your patience paid off and that you're finding them "awesome" after watching them for so long.
With up to 30 hours of battery life and the ability to fold them into a compact case, they should be the perfect companion for years to come. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Favorite Headphones Ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I’ve ever had, I personally think they are better than Beats or Bose. My previous par of headphones just like this stood the test of the elements in Afghanistan. I sold my older pair to upgrade and I don’t regret it. Please consider these when shopping for headphones.

Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a pair of good headphones. It has awesome noise cancelation; the sound is crisp and base is descent. The app that comes with it does enhance the sound quality a lot. Other than this, I also have Beats Studio and JBL Club 950NC. The Sony is produces much better audio quality

The sound is crisp. You can hear every instrument clearly. My phone calls are amazingly clear. The noise cancellation is out of this world. These are second to NONE. Best pair of Bluetooth headphones I've bought to date.

Quality Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality. No drops so far. The controls are easy to follow which is important. Love the color. The case is somewhat bulky so I usually do not carry it. I also like the fact that there is an audio cable so I can use it with my computer.
