SUPER Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to drown out noise as I work from home and they did not disappoint! The headphones are very comfortable even after hours of use and the ambient noise feature is great. I initially went into the store thinking I would get a pair of Bose headphones, but am so happy I decided to browse around.

SONY Noise-Cancelling HEADPHONES
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best for the money. I was in flight with a person using these headphones and I asked about them. He said that the SONY were the best. I went to Best Buy and tried Beats, Bose, and others and when I put on the Sony I could not believe the difference. I see so many on the Plane with Bose and think they just went with a name. Listen for yourself and you will agree SONY is the BEST.

Another great product from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My favorite headphones, yet I will say that the touch controls are a bit finnicky at times, so I have them disabled. Other than this minor point, the sound quality and the noise-canceling are rivaled by few. The color is also a nice matte finish that is neutral enough to not stand out. These come with a carrying case and pack down well enough to travel with. I recommend wearing them around your neck though!

Revolutionary headphone at its best version
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are revolutionary. I can get work done at the office even with people having conversations a few feet away. You can go on a plane and can enjoy the movie. During the pandemic, we don't do these but the revolutionary technology still stands. On top of everything else, it has great sound. Other high end headphones assume some really quiet environment to sound good. I've had great sounds at 3AM in the morning off some high end headphones but daily noise it's just not that great sounding. With the Sony, you can hear the details in your music during the middle of the day, going for a walk on a noisy street (with safe walk only paths) or just for a nap. For all movies, I just use headphones now. Roku lets you watch a stream from your phone while watching on the TV and we just do that when we watch a movie together. These headphones give you peace and quiet when you need it and loud and noisy when you need them without bothering anyone else and letting anyone else bother you. Game changing technology.

Excellent headphones - def recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are reviewed as one of the market's best, so I had pretty high expectations. They're comfortable to wear, sound great, and look good. I would definitely recommend them. My only complaint is the passive noise cancellation works so well that it makes my ears warm.

I prefer Sony WH-1000XM4 over the others
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simply the best noise cancelling headphones I have tried. Better than Bose or Beats at the same price level. These are comfortable. The mic is great for calls and zoom sessions. Then, when you need music the sound and clarity are the best without being overly base thumpy. The case is great too.
