Best wireless noise canceling headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best wireless, noise cancelling headphones out there! I have the new Bose noise canceling headphones and the new AirPod Pros as well. I would rank these Sony headphones slightly above the Bose and the Apple AirPod Pros last. The Sony’s switch back and forth between your devices flawlessly and no other headset does that effectively. Sound wise, they’re just as good as the other 2 and have the best bass. You can’t go wrong with these!

XM4 better than the XM5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, Great feel. XM4 , in my opinion, better product than the XM5 and i see no noticeable sound difference for the non audiophile , Bought on sale so way cheaper than comparable competitor and worth waiting for them to be on sale.

Beyond Impressive
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Started enjoying right out of the box. Have owned Bose noise cancelling, JLab in ear, Apple wired and in-ear wireless. When it comes to hearing all the nuances of just music, these are hands down my fave. So many options that it takes a little time to learn all it will do. Gotta tackle dealing with "Alexa" smart home devices next. My first time with a Sony product and looking forward to many more. Long life between charges - a huge plus. Don't buy anything until you try these. Highly recommend them.

Very good over all
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re an audio file, you’re not going to be blown away by these wireless headphones. But for general listening they’re pretty good. I pair them with my TV for video games and I use them with my phone to play music. The audio quality is very good. My only complaint in that realm is that the volume doesn’t get quite loud enough for my taste. I had the old version and they got very hot. These have the same issue. If you’re going to wear them for video games after an hour or so they get pretty sweaty. There seriously lacking in the looks department but that’s not a dealbreaker

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite being out for a number of years now they still sound amazing. I was debating between the XM5s and these and these were more comfortable and felt slimmer. I have really enjoyed these anywhere I go including the plane where it blocks out all sound except announcements. Overall I highly recommend

Creaky hinge, but second pair is great

Great quality and features
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality (once you customize in the app - Not great out of the box). Excellent Noise cancellation Nice range, nice battery life, great features, better than Bose 700 headphones. But, my requirement was to connect to three devices and two at the same time (ipad and iphone) and want to switch seamlessly when a call comes while watching movie in ipad. Sony WH-1000XM4 doesn't do that (Bose 700 does that well). So, I had to return it. I tried Bose Studio 3, which is not even comparable to this Sony in noise cancellation. I am sticking with my Bose

Gamers choice real 3D audio for VR and online FPS
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're like me and you want headphones that have real 3D space audio for video gaming look no further. Before buying these I tested a few other wireless headsets but I can say that only these accurately depicted where enemies were coming from. Also these headphones are amazing for using with the Meta Quest 2 via bluetooth. You'll be even more immersed in whatever you're doing in VR with the rich audio quality and deep bass these provide. I love them and I'm sure you will too.

Awesome Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have many ear and headphones. I found these to be very comfortable and light. Easy to wear and sound great. They have a graphic equalizer in the apple phone app which is great. Noise canceling is very good. The controls are much better than my older Sony headphones. I like that I can put my hand on the right side and can hear my wife talking. Also I can listen to something on my laptop and if my phone rings it will switch to it.

XM4 review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent investment, it lasts long, has amazing sound quality, and is simply comfortable to wear, but they do start weighing on you after you have worn them for a while, like for 3-4 hours straight.

Love it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable and I cannot hear my family with the noise canceling feature even when the volume isn't that high up. The battery life is excellent as well. When the headphones die, it takes around 5-10 minutes for it to charge all the way up and it lasts a long time.

Sony Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH1000XM4 headphones have quickly become a favorite of mine. The battery life is impressive, often lasting longer than I'd expect, and the noise-cancelling functionality is top-notch, really letting me immerse myself in my music or podcasts. However, there are a couple of gripes. The built-in Alexa support can be hit or miss, and the mobile app isn't the most user-friendly. Additionally, the adaptive noise-cancelling feature isn't really my cup of tea. Still, overall, these headphones deliver where it counts.
I would recommend this to a friendBuy, dont wait
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are very good quality! I even use them for gaming on the playstation sometimes becasue of the bass. I really like that these are noise cancelling, but also let you have the option to hear your surroundings. I wouldnt purchase them if you work out becasue they are not water proof and not really for sweating. I should of bought these sooner tbh.. Highly reccomend them, also got them on sale. Oh and the app for these headphones could be better but they constanly update it so its not an issue so much
