Best Noise Canceling Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling headphones. Have worn this pair on many flights and I could never travel without it. The best part is the sound which can be tuned to your liking via the Sony Headphones app. I've tried Bose Q45 but switched over to Sony once I heard the sound profile.

Great sound, great noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for my wife for Christmas because I knew the active noise cancellation was really good. The separation that you can hear between the instruments is pretty impressive for the money. I would recommend.

Review of Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bass in these headphones are amazing! However, it is confusing at times to remember which way to swipe across the headphones to turn up the volume or switch songs. I’ve also noticed that the headphones will change from noise cancellation to ambient without me doing it and I don’t know if that’s a simple fix or if it’s something else.

Posted .Hi JheneS,
We are thrilled to hear you're loving the amazing bass on your WH-1000XM4 headphones. Regarding the controls, for volume, swipe up repeatedly for louder and down repeatedly for quieter; for tracks, swipe forward for the next song and backward for the previous song. The automatic mode change is likely due to the Adaptive Sound Control or Speak-to-Chat features in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Please open the app and disable both of those features to keep it locked on Noise Cancellation. If the issue continues after checking those settings, please reach out to our support team for further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Excellent Over-Ears for All Sorts of Things
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Straight out of the box i was not very happy. After downloding the Sony headphone and creating my own sound profile, my thoughts did a 180. They sound incredible and i love the hand-to-ear ambient sound feature that allows you to listen in on whats going on around you. Top notch!!
