Comfort, quiet, and AMAZING sound
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I looked for a very long time to find a pair of comfortable headphones that have great noise cancelling (flying even during covid) and amazing sound. I can say that these more than meet the bill. I have ZERO complaints about the sound. The noise cancelling is amazing - especially with the ability to temporarily let ambient noise in to hear overhead announcements and the speak mode. The comfort, while important, was beyond expectation. Anyone that wears glasses or now has a face covering on for hours at a time knows just how bad the pressure can be behind the ear. I'm happy to say that I have worn these for many hours through airports and flights and was very happy with the comfort.

Best headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did my research before deciding to purchase them. I saw these on sale last year around this time and I did a big mistake thinking they would be on sale a few weeks before Christmas but they weren’t and I ended up buying them but I returned them because of the price which was full price. So when they came around the holidays again this year, I didn’t hesitate when I saw the price drop to the same one as last year. In my opinion, they are the best ones comfort sound and price. I’d rather buy these than the Apple headphones.

If you have the money, get them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these for a little over two months now and they’ve been great. I got these headphones in particular after being told they aren’t harsh on the ears, which is an important thing for me. They fit and feel wonderful, even with all of my earrings on. As for the actual sound of the headphones, everything sounds great to me. The noise canceling is especially great since I use these in noisy environments and hardly anything distracts me from my work when I have these on. So if you are looking to get headphones, these are a great option.

Best headphones I've had so far.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As an audiophile, I've been looking for noise cancelling headphones that also have good quality sound and range. These have checked all the requirements so far, and more! They're comfortable to the point I can wear them 8+ hs a day, and switch between meetings and music seamlessly. The noise cancelling is so good my roommates need to signal to me in order for me to look up. I thought the gestures were going to take some time to learn but it hasn't been the case, they're intuitive. The remove noise cancelling to talk works really well. Too well sometimes. I'd be walking close to someone talking and it will activate. The option to have two devices connected hasn't worked for me so well, I had issues switching from my phone to my laptop with the result of the laptop switching back to its speakers. It might be my MBP, I haven't tried with other devices yet. She sound quality is excellent, as expected from Sony, the sound is crisp and balanced, with a good range.
I would recommend this to a friendAmazing sound. Great device.

perfection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Turned in perfect conditions. Love the color not too bright but not too dark. Amazing sound quality. As someone who likes to still be aware of her surroundings at times, the ambience sound does an amazing job and so does the noise canceling. One of the best noise canceling headphones I had ever used, it covers my ears completely, not allowing any other sound to interfere. They are perfect.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these. I bought as a gift for someone who is not so tech savvy and she is able to use them without an issue. I have the earlier version (WH1000XM3) myself and the noise canceling on the Sony headphones is unmatched. Great Sound Quality. Extremely comfortable as well.

Unexpectedly good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have surpassed my expectations especially in comfortability, noise cancelling and sound quality. I got them to replace my Beats Solo pros and this pair hasn’t let me down. I miss the almost magical integration of my beats to my iPhone and iPad but these r okay since I can connect them to two devices (AND IT HAS AN AUDIO JACK). It even comes with an adaptor for a those weird airplane audio jacks

Great headphones all around!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the latest (mark 4) version of these wireless headphones. I really like them so far. They are very comfortable and do not feel like they are super tight on my head, as cheaper headphones do. The sound is, well, Sony: very good. I hesitated for a long time because of the price, but they are well worth every penny. If there is a negative, it’s due to the fact that the sound via Bluetooth is not as superior as wired headphones. However this isn’t really a negative at all, because it’s a given that wireless technology itself is just not going to deliver the same frequency range as wired audio. These are my walking headphones. So, I’m not going to be as attentive to the purity of sound as I would be if sitting down for a listening session. The extra features are useful (noise cancellation; ambience control)—however, they will drain the battery faster than using the headphones with those extra features disabled.
