High Quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros:Love how powerful the low frequency active noise cancellation (upstairs stomping),sturdy,sleek,simple user interface,excellent sound,big spacious earcups.The best low freq noise cancelling headphone out there (triumphs over bose qc ultras). Better than XM5 model for now because the human is still in control of the noise cancellation (XM4) Cons: can get hot quickly if worn for a long time in a hot area.

Really great headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and functions! If I were to change anything it would be to swap plastic with aluminum and get rid of the touch gestures as they can get in the way and be a little hard to get down in memory.

Worth the upgrade from the WH-1000XM2's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally upgraded from the WH-1000XM2's and the difference between the two models is greater than i had thought. First, Sony continues to enhance the incredible sound quality from previous generations of the product line. The construction of the headphones feels much more secure and solid as compared to the older generations which often broke near the headband. The slimmer headphones also appear to be noticeably less bulky on my head while being worn.
