Great sounding and comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is not quite as good as the WH1000XM5, but the sound is on par, if not better, they feel more sturdy, collapse smaller into the case, and (for me at least), they are more comfortable when wearing for long periods of time (ie several hours). I compared a lot of wireless over the ear noise cancelling headphones from Beats, Bose, Sony, JBL, Apple, and SkullCandy. Sound wise, these rated towards the top of the list, clear strong bass, matched evenly with the mid and highs, easily adjustable in the app when using with your phone, and sound great connected to my PC, which I use them with most of the time for work (both listening to music and for zoom or teams meetings) for 4-8 hours a day.

Great noise cancelling headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I have never owned a set of noise cancelling headphone before and was very surprised at how well they work. They wirelessly connect to my phone and I can easily be in the next room without any issues. I can go a couple of weeks on a single charge (with occasional listening) and have even let them sit for a couple of weeks without use and then just used them without charging. Very comfortable as well.

Great sound and long battery life
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have excellent sound and an adjustable EQ. The noise cancellation is the best I’ve heard. The headphones are comfortable as well, though the top of my head is sensitive so I do find myself needing to adjust where headband sits on my head periodically if I wear the headphones for several hours at a time, but probably less so than other similar headphones due to these being very light weight.

I was happier with bose
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been a Bose and Apple guy. Then I bought Sony. I’m a fan of Sony. But the Bluetooth connection on this headset keeps dropping. It’s not as intelligent as Bose when automatically switching between my phone and fire tv. The touch controls were annoying, I had to disable it so now I can only control the volume via my phone or tv - but worth it to remove the annoying feature. Sound quality is better than Bose but not by much (q35). It’s tighter than my Bose and pressing on my ear so I have to take a break when wearing. Noise canceling is better in Bose. Great to wear if you have glasses.

Posted .Hi Rion,
We are glad we could earn you as a fan and that you recognize the superior sound quality of the WH-1000XM4 headset! We apologize for the issues you are experiencing with the Bluetooth connection dropping and the multipoint switching not being as seamless as you'd like; this is often linked to the "Prioritize Sound Quality" setting, and we recommend changing it to "Prioritize Stable Connection" in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to improve connection reliability. Regarding comfort, the clamping force is a design element for optimal acoustic sealing and Noise Cancelling performance, but we are sorry to hear it feels tight. Your decision to disable the touch controls is a valid way to customize your experience. If the disconnection issues persist after changing the setting, please ensure your headset firmware is up to date, or contact Sony Product Support at 1-800-222-7669 for dedicated troubleshooting.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Just the best
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it, it's been years since I've had a headphone upgrade and my biggest complaints about my previous device were that it was too heavy and the noise cancelling was uncomfortable. Both issues are virtually non-existent here. These are super super light and comfortable and the noise cancelling doesn't have that weird suction feeling some headphones have. Honestly for the price these are the best headphones money can buy.

A no for gamers, but overall good.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There’s an issue with these headphones that I can’t let slide, the Bluetooth 2-way audio sucks. If you like talking to your friends while gaming, the game will sound terrible. 99c earphones sound better than that. This is the same issue my $25 headset has, I did not expect this same one to arise in $300+ headphones. I’ve heard Bluetooth audio can be pretty bad in general, but I was hoping for it to be better. I wish I was aware of this issue before purchasing. Besides that, these are comfortable for people who have glasses, noise canceling is good, and the sound is great, battery lasts long.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love these headphones after eight months of use. Easy to pair, great sound, supremely comfortable even with my glasses (this frames though). If something happened to mine I'd buy another pair, no questions. I use them with a variety of devices (iPhone, MacBook, Sony X900H TV, Switch) and appreciate that they include the option to run a wired cable. Battery life is strong, too.

Amazing Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used these for a bit now and they're absolutely fantastic. The Audio quality is fantastic. You'll be surprised at how amazing music sounds and you just want to listen to every song you know so you can see how it sounds now. It is super comfortable, has a good battery life, and comes with a great case. My only complaint would be the build quality as it feels a bit cheap

Best and Worst All in One Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't usually write reviews, but the experience I've had with these warrant writing a review. Buyer beware. Pros: (when they work): Unmatched noise cancellation Decent call quality Most comfortable pair of headphones I've worn. I often use them 10 - 12 hours a day in the office. Great app and features Really good sounding with music, with customizations through the EQ. If you have a device that supports LDAC, higher quality wireless audio Great battery life Cons: Quality, Quality, Quality! It took three pairs of headphones initially before I got one that worked correctly (the first two pairs failed within the 30 day return window). My 3rd pair has recently developed a nasty bug that requires a warranty replacement. That's 4 pairs of headphones *in one year* I work in an open office plan, and these are my go-to headphones for comfort, noise cancellation and making calls. If they weren't soooo good when they work, I would have abandoned these long ago. Prior to owning these, I used the Sony WH-1000xm3 headphones for almost two years. That entire time I didn't have any issues, and they were still in great shape after 2 years. I wish Sony could figure out the quality issue on these. When they work, they are the greatest wireless headphones I've every used. However, when they glitch they aren't using even if they were provided at no cost. It's the Best and Worst experience all in a single pair of headphones.

Great Headphones only one downside for me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connects to both my laptop and phone at the same time. The noise cancelling is fantastic. Music quality is great. The comfortability is great too. I can wear this for a good 4 hours or so and not be uncomfortable. Like most headphones they do get warm so you do have to take them off get a breather. The battery life is fantastic. The only downside I have is when connected by wire, the headphones do have their bluetooth connection turned off. So if you are connected to a xbox controller you can't connect to your phone over bluetooth. But other then that they are great.

Amazing Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They pair seamlessly to my devices and being able to have them connected to 2 devices is amazing. They feel incredibly comfortable on my head, even after using them for long periods of time. They charge surprisingly fast and last a very long time. The noise cancelation is really good and the sound quality is amazing as well. The included usb-c cable is a bit on the short side but having usb-c in itself is a great addition.

Headphones A
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using these for a couple months, I switched from AirPods to these so that I could go to the gym and not have my headphone fall out. I unfortunately haven’t gone to the gym yet to try them out but I can say these are a bit more technical than I thought. Maybe it’s just me, but the app is weird and I don’t think the sound quality is as good, bass is great and to be able to change the sound quality to what your listening too is cool. They are quaint and cute! I would recommend them, sony has been around for a long time and they make quality products. I recommend these. Battery life is out of this world, I use them off and on for a week each day and everytime I come back it has battery and the Bluetooth is okay, it won’t connect right away which I dislike anddd I can’t use Siri

Best headphones I have ever owned!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down the best headphones I've ever owned! I was never the one to splurge on headphones until I had a really long flight that I wanted to be able to sleep on. First off the music sounds incredible. I have listened to tracks that I love and have listened to hundreds of times and have noticed little nuances of the song I've never heard before. The treble hi and low ranges are insane and the bass hits just hard enough with no cracking or other issues. The noise cancelling feature works so well I still can't believe how good it is. I also love the fact that you can put your palm over the right earpiece to deafen the noise canceling allowing you to hear other people or important things like announcements without taking the headphones off. Google assistant works very well allowing me to call, check notifications, or text without having to pull my phone out. I guess my only negative thing I have to say about them is sometimes if i lean my head and it hits my shoulder during a workout the motion control on the headphone will change songs or mess with the volume. All in all this is the absolute best pair of headphones you can buy in my opinion and totally worth the money. This may be the best electronics purchase I have ever made! If you are on the fence about purchasing them but have the money to do so I would definitely recommend these over anything!!!
