Best Travel Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the highest quality headphones for sound cancelling capabilities that you can find at this price point. They go on sale fairly regularly, so I highly recommend setting an alert for picking them up here. Best Buy has a solid warranty program, so I picked one up for myself and my partner.

One of the Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down the best over-ear noise canceling headphones I’ve ever used. I’m really big into music and beats and when I saw many reviews I had to hear it for my self and I gotta say these are a 5/5. Sony really did an amazing job with these. The clarity in music is just CRAZY you fell like you’re in the studio while hearing music. If you have Apple Music I would definitely recommend these as they have great quality songs

Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. I never tried the new Sony line of the noise cancelling headphones but I was pleasantly surprised. However, I feel like using them to talk on the phone is not so good, the other person has trouble hearing me when it is noisy around me. Also it comes with a bag and an airplane adapter and a cable which is very convenient.

Posted .Hi DanS!
We are thrilled to hear you were pleasantly surprised by your WH-1000XM4 headphones! It’s awesome that you’re enjoying the excellent sound and comfortable fit and having the handy bag, cable and airplane adapter makes it super easy to take them anywhere.
Thanks for being upfront about your experience with phone calls in noisy spots. The headphones use smart microphones and noise cancelling tech to help catch your voice, but in busy places, it can sometimes be tough for the other person to hear you.
If you often need to take calls in busy places, trying to find a quieter spot or adjusting features like Sidetone in the Sony | Sound Connect app can sometimes make your voice clearer for the other person.
Thanks for choosing Sony. We really appreciate you sharing your feedback, it helps us make our products even better!
Sincerely,
Estefany

Posted .Hi JennaH,
Hello! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. We are sorry to hear you're experiencing some issues with the touch controls, as they can sometimes be a bit tricky to get used to.
To improve the responsiveness, make sure you are using the flat part of your finger to tap and swipe, and not just the fingertip. For the buttons, please ensure you are giving them a firm, deliberate press. If the issue continues, a quick reset of the headphones often resolves minor glitches. You can find instructions on how to do this in the Sony Headphones Connect app or our online help guide.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

These are now the #2 headphones. Great noise cancelling and fold up very small. Also very light. Sound is a bit muddles compared to airpods max or B&W px.
