As good as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the packaging to the actual headphones and accessories all feel premium. The sound of the actual headphones are the best in class for Bluetooth in my opinion. Only knock would be it feels like it could break east if not folded carefully.

Good, not perfect!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, incredible noise cancelling, good optimization when wearing glasses under headphones. Only gripe is that my ears, which are small, are a bit cramped and sometimes touch the headphones, which can start to hurt. I also don't like the way the headband is a bit raised, not the most fashionable.

Good ANC + sound but uncomfortable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound pretty good for the price point. Their main advantage, though is the noise cancelling. The only thing is, they're uncomfortable after wearing them for a little while. I would also not recommend this item if you need to switch smoothly between devices. You have to manually disconnect from the other device before you can use the other.

Simply the BEST!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re undecided, don’t think about it buy these. On sale they’re so worth it. I’d say watch the video on YouTube but you need the headphones to really hear what they’re capable of! I’m hearing parts of the song I’ve never heard before. The 360 degree feature is other worldly. The BEST noise reduction I’ve ever heard. Sorry Bose yours are inferior!

Not worth for the price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound effect and comfort on the ear. But biggest problem is multi device support. I paired it with apple TV and two iPhones and one Mac book. Whenever I turn on the Sony Headphone it's automatically connects last connected device (for example last connected device may be iPhone). If I want to connect to Apple TV, I have to remove the device and pair aging. Sony need to do something on that.

Posted .Hi Wills, while we are glad to hear that you are happy with the comfort and sound quality of your WH1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with its bluetooth connection feature. Once a device and the headset are paired, there is no need to pair them again. Connect to devices already paired with the headset using the methods necessary for each device.
For this, if you are pairing the headphones to your TV, please turn off the Bluetooth connection of your mobile device.

Best NC headphones I have tried!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had these for a week and I've been using them everyday. Perfect for gaming on a laptop which produce a lot of fan noise. I have enjoyed playing with all the ease of use features and they respond VERY fast to touch. Only gripe I have, they get pretty warm. They are noise cancelling so can't expect that not to be a thing. Know what you are buying and you will enjoy these.

Grandma’s Like These Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item does what it advertised it would do. The music quality is outstanding. It cancels out noise and when you turn your head to the left or speak, it stops the sound that are coming through the headphones. Attractive appearance, you almost don’t see them when they are on your ears.
