Amazing headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is amazing, very light on the weight. I would get headaches from my beats over the ear headphones but I have no issues with these ones. If you think over the ear headphones wont work for you, these are a great option to try out!

Great product, had to get it a second time.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.great quality that matches the price, had to get a second pair due to my first ones going through the ringer of 3 years of sweat and abuse. great for working out and just listening to music or movies. Gives more detail in the tones an vocals along with decent bass, all of which can be altered in the app that is supported by the headphones.

Great sound. Great Features. Great Price
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven’t traveled at all since buying these, but I have had the experience of using them at home while my wife and I were both on phone calls. The noise canceling is as good as my old Bose headphones (which my wife uses now), and the sound is spectacular, both on calls and for listening to music or watching streaming movies. They are quite comfortable and can be worn for hours without issues. I look forward to traveling again when I can really get the best out of these headphones.

XM3 to XM4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I still love the WH1000XM3. I think they are just as good as the XM4. XM4 has different features. I really did not notice more noise cancelling than others stated. These are super comfortable. I wear them when I sleep sometimes, as the noise in the city can be overwhelming. Great price for the quality. My XM3 lasted for ever and are still great!!

WH-1000XM4 Review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Impeccable quality. I was hearing musical textures in songs I've listened to for years for the first time. The only negative thing I have to say about it is how sensitive the touch pad is. I'm always accidently hanging up.

Posted .Hi User144668,
We feel privileged to know that our headphones have allowed you to rediscover your favorite songs by revealing musical textures you hadn't noticed before. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the sensitivity of the touch sensor; if you find it a bit too reactive for your style, you can actually disable the "Touch Sensor Control Panel" within the Sony Headphones Connect app to prevent those accidental hang-ups.
Thank you for trusting Sony and making us a part of your daily listening.

Awesome sound but weak build quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is excellent. Clear, crsip, music with plenty of bass for most types of music. Wouldnt recomended if you only listen to rap. Mostly using it for pop, kpop, jpop, jazz. 80s and 90s. Build quality weak. Made of plastic, not expecting to last more than 2.5 years. Previous sony headphones broke at the swivel by the ear piece. Nice carry case, great battery life, decent noise canceling especially on flights. Slighty pricey, look for a sale and handle the product with care.

Best headphones I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that i can connect to my work laptop and phone at the same time, and they seemlessly go back and forth between devices without me having to touch anything. I have had them about a month now, and they have been amazing on charge as well as sound quality. I would say I get 100% noise cancelling in the office and about 95% on the plane. So for me they are once again great.

Best headphones I've ever owned!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are hands down the best headphones I've owned and I've had the CH700s(I think thats the right line), XB900s, Anker Space 45s and then these, and these are the best when it comes to noise cancelling and sound quality. I will say that the XBs are definitely better when it comes to bass but that's the point of the XBs (Xtra Bass). I am not disappointed with these headphones!

Great pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have one of sonys first Generation over the ear headphones and hate them. They are heavy ugly and pinch my head. I could tell right away when I picked these up for the first time they would not be any of the things I hated about my last pair. They are light, good looking and don't hurt to wear for hours. Noise canceling is best ive ever had and the sound quality is great. I usually dont think anything that costs this much is worth the money but I didnt regret spending a cent on these love em

Would buy again in a heart beat.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily the best pair of headphones I have ever owned. I tried multiple top tier brands and this was by far the most comfortable over the ear. The sound quality is clear, which I found was not the case in some of the other brands. The noise canceling is way above my expectations, it cuts out everything with the exception of really loud noises close to you. There are alot of features that i could go on about. They are pricey but definitely worth the cost if the cost alone is not the deciding factor.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the price drop since the release of the XM5, these are a great value. Battery life was exactly as advertised, and maybe longer if not using bluetooth. Noise cancelling performance was great, although I don't have experience with the current XM5, so I can't compare.
