Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found these headphones to be very comfortable. They work as advertised. The volume control on the right earcup needs a little work but they are quite satisfying. I would recommend them over the apple iPods max as the max is much heavier. The app works very well. Noise canceling is very good.

Incredible sound cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are incredible headphones; the noise cancelling has to be heard to be believed. It makes plane journeys much more tolerable. The battery life is amazing too.

Good value and quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable to wear and do an excellent job of cancelling external sound. These work particularly well when one is playing music. And the quality of the speakers is very good. But just in case you think that these will cancel noise effectively without playing music - like if you want to do homework or something else and just block out noise - don't, because that won't happen. All in all, a great set of earphones though, and good value for the money.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I swear by these headphones. I'm really bad at taking care of things, i've thrown these around so much especially since I work in a warehouse and move around so much they've definitely hit the ground a lot. I needed these because everything is so loud I rather listen to music. Plus they get really dirty so i wipe them cleaned every night and they still work through everything I put them through! The best part is the battery life I always get surprised when they tell me theyre going to die because it seems like I hardly charge them lol. If they ever stop working im pretty sure i'd just but another pair of these.

Perfect headphones

Noise canceling is prefect, sound is customizable, and battery lasts over a day and charges super quick.

The Travel Endgame
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are other wireless headphones out on the market that are technically better, but at over half of the price without much of a difference in performance. The sound signature is great for casual listening, don't get these for your dedicated listening sessions for audiophiles, this is not your product. However, if you are used to headphones that come bundled with products, these will blow your mind. The sound cancellation is some of the best I have ever heard and the gesture controls are amazing. The one complaint I have is that one audio codex is not accepted, I forget which one, but it means I cannot use these on my TV wirelessly without substantial delay. Get dedicated tv headphones for that purpose. No issue though on iphone or android

Posted .Hi PSGamer, You've made an excellent choice! We're glad you like the great sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, and amazing touch control of your Sony WH-1000XM4.
Note: This headset supports the following 3 codecs for music playback via an A2DP connection: SBC, AAC, and LDAC.
The audio playback on the headset 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. Please check the AV sync settings or any related settings of your TV to minimize the audio delay. Hope this helps!

Super comfortable & top of the line ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was considering getting the cheaper version of Sony's ANC headphones but after trying side-by-side, really there is no comparison. If you want a pair of headphones you can wear comfortably for hours and have some of the best noise cancellation, these really are the top of the line.

Excellent noise canceling headset
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are very good. The build quality is sturdy, but very lightweight. Battery lasts a long time, at least 15 hours on a charge.

Very comfortable, great sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, easy to pair, and love the sound!! The noise cancellation drowns out everything. Noise cancellation with ambient sound let’s you hear your surroundings. The music stops if you take them off for a few minutes and automatically starts when putting them back on. Well worth the price!
