Gift for Son
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Son really seems to enjoy them. The feature vs. other brands is what sold me on these. The adaptive noise canceling and volume functions are great. Also, the pause by placing hand over the right ear is a great feature, so you dont have to pull the headset off.

Posted .Hi Chuck,
We're happy your WH-1000XM4 headphones sound great, but apologize for the connection issue with your computer. This is often fixed by clearing the headphones' pairing history: please try performing a factory reset by holding the power and NC/Ambient button for about 7 seconds, and then attempt to re-pair with your computer.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best of the current main stream headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build quality is amazing and the sound quality is great. These are significantly better than the beats or Bose headphones. The USB C is also great. The touch controls aren't the best though.

Excellent ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far the best headphones that I have ever owned in terms of checking all the "boxes" for my needs. The noise cancelling is incredible as so many others have stated and the sound quality, with a little tweaking, is also amazing. I have used these wireless and wired and both sound very very good to my ears. While wired gives you true Hi Res quality depending on the source, I was pleasantly surprised by the Bluetooth streaming sound quality as well. No drops and a nice crisp sound that can be tweaked in the app to the user's liking. Almost two months in and I am very satisfied with the headphones in terms of features, sound quality, and overall build.

Sony noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value. Noise cancellation works perfectly; I can’t hear a person speaking right next to me. The sound is good, although it has plenty of adjustments, which I haven’t fully explored, yet. I use them when working out and I find them comfortable for extended use. When on sale, they are a great buy.
