Great for air travel, great noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable on the ears and excellent active and passive noise cancelling. Used for several 8+ hour flights and at airport terminal, and never felt any discomfort. Felt like I was in a bubble and no one else around. Great for air travel.

Headphone review
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great clarity and noise reduction is amazing, the only thing that was lacking was bass, over all would recommend.

Posted .Hi JustinR,
That’s great to hear you are enjoying the amazing clarity and noise reduction of the WH-1000XM4 headphones! If you find the bass slightly lacking, you can easily customize the audio profile in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Go to the Sound tab and use the Equalizer settings; you can either select the "Bass Boost" preset or, for the best results, use the custom EQ and increase the horizontal Clear Bass slider, which is specifically designed to add low-end punch without distorting the overall sound.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Pricey but worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for back to school since I’m a college student and I need something that is noise cancellation and has long lasting battery. I use it to listen to recorded lectures as well as music when studying. I guess the only con I have is that I still can’t figure out how to connect it to both my laptop and iPhone and be able to make an easy transition from either devices.
