Can't Believe My Ears
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned a countless number of headphone over the years. My favorite has always been Bose Quiet Comfort, so I was somewhat skeptical about buying Sony. I am soooo glad I did, These are by far the best sounding headphones I've ever owned or heard. If you use any of the lossless HD streaming services, like Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music, or Amazon Unlimited, you will be amazed at the quality of the sound. Noise canceling is superb and offers features to quickly interrupt it when needed (just place your palm over the right earphone). Only drawback for me is ear pads can get a little sticky after prolonged listening. These are new best in class bluetooth, ANC headhones, IMO.

Posted .Hi ValeriaG, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're extremely pleased to hear you are enjoying the amazing battery life and exceptional sound quality of your WH-1000XM4. These headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. I believe these will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities, I recommend you practice caution when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise.

These headphones saved my sanity
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these so much, the noise cancelling has been a lifesaver! I was struggling with some noise issues at home as well as at work; the in-ear buds I had been wearing were starting to cause some pain in my ears so my sister suggested these headphones since her husband had the older model and had sung their praises. The price tag was a little daunting but I decided to go for it - and I don't regret it one bit! I haven't completely mastered the controls yet, but I can turn the noise cancelling on and off and that's the biggest thing for me. For work, sitting around the house, and travelling, I highly recommend!

Amazing noise cancellation!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing noise cancellation! I bought these for 4th of July because I’m sensitive to sounds & prone to panic attacks and these were so helpful with getting through firework shows!! Works better with constant sounds over sudden sounds given the technology but overall It did great to muffle the blasts! The noise cancellation can also be adjusted to hear more/less ambient noise in the app for different situations. Also offers high quality sound for music and the app and ear touch pad is very easy to use and helpful! I’ve only had a few issues connecting the Bluetooth to my laptop but it seems to only effect some apps(might be my computer issue) there is also a headphone cord to connect with if needed.

Sync with me Sony
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love how this fits on my ears, it's comfortable and sounds good. The problem is when I have it connected to my tv, the audio and connectivity will have a delay sometimes and I have to either turn the headphones off or go through the sounds menu back to the headphones again to have it in sync again. Hopefully this is just a blip.

Posted .Hi Deevs, Thank you for the awesome review! Good to know you love the comfortable fit and great sound quality of your new headphones. The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.

Sony Headphone really good.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best purchased so far. ANC is surprisingly good. One verdict is that it's hot while wearing for a long time, but feels better than an in-ear headphone in terms of comfort.

The noise cancelling worked very well, battery lasted the entire trip. It comes in a very nice compact case making it easy to put in my carry-on bag. It comes with a USB cable for recharging and a audio cable if you don't want to use Bluetooth. The sound quality is good.

Best headphones I've used
|Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] These are easily the best headphones I've ever owned. The audio quality out of the box is crazy good and I only had to tweak the EQ a tiny bit to get the bass exactly where I wanted it. The muffs do get a little hot after a while and can make my ears sweaty but I usually don't end up using them that long except on flights.
