Sony WH1000XM4 Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a couple of long flights coming up and decided that I needed to upgrade my headphones to noise-cancelling. These were on-sale, had good reviews, so decided to try a pair. Went to Best Buy to look at them and thought they sounded great. When I got home, I realized that the headphones came in a nice case and included a detachable wire so that I could plug directly into the airplanes system, perfect! Now I have the ability to go wireless or wired and have a great sounding pair of headphones.

Slightly better than previous gen.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the XM3 and they were great. Only issue was the battery started losing it's charge after 2 days of minimum use. These are better in noise cancelling and comfort with thicker cushions on the ears and on the crown of your head. GET THEM!!

Noise canceling is great. It works well with my phone. Battery life is awesome. I just with my phone would use the LDAC codec but that's not the headphones fault.
