Customer Ratings & Reviews

Touch panel is WAY too sensitive. I’m talking don’t raise your arm or they change songs type sensitive. I had to turn the panel off, which is a good feature but absolutely sucks if you’re working out. They’re comfortable but if you wear glasses they’re terrible; I’m sure most over ear headphones suck for glasses users. The noise-cancellation isn’t bad but it’s not as good as my AirPod pros…the little white earbuds. I chose these over Bose because they sounded better in my opinion. I’ve worn them on the plane and they were better than my AirPod pros for that purpose, which I literally purchased them for the plane. So they’re good for what I bought them for but musically there are better headphones out. These only sound good because I fixed the EQ; they should have sounded good right out of the box considering the price. For comparison I tried the Bose equivalent of these and could hear EVERYTHING with the noise cancellation on BUT the Bose sound better musically. These, I can not hear the TV while standing right in front of it at a decent volume. I’d catch these on sale, definitely do not pay full price. I might add that the battery life on these is insane. I can go a month or more on a single charge using these 3-4 days a week for 1-2 hours each of those days. When I say insane….I literally forget where I’ve placed my charger because I don’t use it often.

I bought these in anticipation of a long overseas flight. Got them on sale at the low price end of quality noise canceling headphones. What a bargain. Tried them out immediately and they instantly quieted the sound of my overhead fans and general house noises even before playing anything through them. I found the initial sound profile for music a bit less than I hoped, but the software includes equalizer adjustments along with a few preset choices. I changed to the 'Bright' setting and was more than satisfied with the sound after that. Clear distinct sound with good range and more than adequate base for my taste. I took them out to my patio with my air condition nearby and train noise a few blocks away. They disappeared almost comlpetely even with my music at low volume. I've gone through a variety of musical styles and found the sound to be very good across the entire range, soft ambient to full blown rock. Battery life is great. I've listened for hours and haven't had to recharge yet. The Bluetooth connection has worked flawlessly. I find them comfortable, even for long stretches. Can't think of anything I don't like. One of the best things I've bought.

Great sound quality. Comfortable fit even with glasses. Great battery life.

Best headphones I've ever bought. I also have the XM3, and while I think the noise cancelling is better with that headset, everything else about this one is superior. It's lighter on the head. Sound quality is amazing. The touch controls seem to work better. Battery life is phenomenal, I wear this thing for hours at a time and it'll go about a week or so before I need to charge it. Been using it for almost a year now, have had no issues whatsoever. If I have a gripe, it's that the built-in microphone doesn't work with PC at all, which is a bummer, and if I want to configure something or update the firmware I need to use the mobile app and connect the headset to my phone, but I haven't felt like I needed to so it's not that big a deal. I use this for gaming on my PC and attach an Antlion mod mic to the side of it (because the built-in mic doesn't work with PC). Gaming headsets in this price range pale in comparison. It's got simulated surround sound so I can accurately hear where enemies or other sounds are coming from. I don't have to download proprietary software and mess with an equalizer to get clear audio out if it like I did with my LG and Corsair headsets, though if you want to there is a mobile app where you can do that. It's lightweight and I can wear it comfortably with glasses for hours and it doesn't even feel like it's there. 100% would recommend this over any other gaming-focused headsets.

I've been looking for a pair of bluetooth headphones for work and running, and after seeing these on sale I got them. Battery lasts a long time. The noise cancelling feature is maybe my favorite part about them. I can still hear if someone needs to grab my attention, but it blocks out all of the other noises I dont want to hear. Music and audiobooks sound great. I recommend.

Not the newest model, but still top-tier and excellent noise cancellation. Really nice sound quality with customizable EQ. Battery life is exceptional at about 38 hours. They have touch controls, wear detection and very comfortable as well as light weight. Easy to pair with phone, TV and so on.

Great sound quality and very comfortable. Holds battery charge for a long time to.

Bought these from previously using Beats Studio 3 w ANC, same MSRP as these, and got these on blackfriday and wow the quality is incredible, SUPER LIGHT, SUPER COMFORTABLE, and amazing ANC, fan was on max and I couldnt hear it hardly unless I tried to. Amazing battery lasted 6 hours without charge straight out of box, I use the headphone jack so I cannot say if it were wireless

The active noise cancelling makes these entry level audiophile grade even though the drivers are dynamic so comfortable you can wear them for over 40 hrs fyll vol longer with anc and silence it has a feature to not allow them to auto shutdown if no audio and with anc on its amazing. has i believe 5 mics you can always swap to the mics and hear around you in approz 15ft radius so you dont shout with them on also. they full charge in under 2hrs.. and rarely need it. these are the@perfexted xmark 1s and better than the xm5s they're very nice and i own audeze lcdx pairs also. this is my 2nd set just because. my orig is fine. do yourself a favor hop online spent the 25. bucks on Wicked Cushions for these. the stocks are a bit flat. you'll get more dynamic range also. they install in no time the plastic behind the ear cusion unsnaps then just snap the others on in under a min.

These headphones provide excellent sound and spatialization. They are comfortable enough but be aware that they can get warm because they are closed headphones with no cooling air circulation. However since that didn't really bother me personally I did not deduct a star. Pricing was decent and I have had great experience with Sony products in general. Lastly, this is the second pair I purchased. The first was for me and the second for my adult son. We are both very pleased.

Very good sound quality and noice canceling. There could be better insulation from outside noise and although the headphones do an amazing job in most environments, they struggle to cancel out certain noises in real time, such as in a coffee shop. I love that they can be used both wired and wirelessly, so sound quality doesn't have to be sacrificed. The app could be better and Bluetooth connectivity can cut out if multiple devices are carried together. Overall, they're a solid choice for the money.

Probably the best over-the-ear headphone I have used. I am a jazz enthusiast and as such needed a decent headphone that will provide the proper definition and clarity of all the instruments that are at play. This headphone provided me with exactly that. The fact that it has an extra boost for the bass is a bonus. The noise cancellation feature is also very effective and true. I did buy a Bose Quiet Comfort initially but found the Sony to be better suited and more comfortable. I have used it also for office meetings in MS Teams. The headphone behaved perfectly there too unlike the Bose that dropped me off the Teams a couple of times. One comment I need to add though is that I am not sure what the "Silver" is all about, but obviously that is nothing to be held against. I will highly recommend this headphone, especially for music enthusiasts.

I love these headphones. They have all the features I was looking for and more I didnt consider. 1) great for work - you can be connected to your laptop and phone at the same time 2) the active noise cancellation doesnt give me a headache 3) the passive noise cancellation is great and the headphones are comfy for long periods 4) battery life is superior

Absolutely in love with these headphones. They're pricey but worth it. The sound is amazing and the noise cancellation is great. I can wear these for a long period without my ear hurting, which is honestly a huge plus. I assumed they were going to be heavy but they actually aren't. Another thing is the battery, I charge these once a week or two.

The noise cancelling is customizable is the app, and doesnt make me feel ill like other headsets. The mic is clear and great for calls. They are lightweight but feel sturdy and premium. Comfortable enough to sleep in. The sound feels like its coming from the room. After using them for one evening I went to buy a back up pair. The blue looks almost black and has yellow gold finishes. The black have rose gold finishes. They help me with anxiety and focus. These are THE BEST headphones. Stop looking, buy these.

TLDR in advance: try it on in store before you purchase to make sure it fits. Good for big ears. Better sound than the bose imho. Tried in store before I purchased. To me they sounded better than the bose quiet comfort 45 which was the only real competition. They also fit over my ears better because I have big ears. I also have been accused of having a big head and these weren't too tight. A friend of mine with a much smaller head and smaller ears said it felt huge on her head so its not sized for everyone. I recommend trying it in store. Noise canceling is good. Obviously it's not shooting range good but if the world around you is too noisy putting them on helps block out the noise. Probably shouldn't use the noise canceling while attending children for safety reasons because odds are you won't hear them screaming from the next room over. ;) That being said you will probably hear them screaming in the same room it will just be dulled. You can also turn off the noise canceling. Some of the gimmick features are cool but most people won't use them. Like immersive 360 sound for some subscription based music services (Not spotify). It sounds cool but im not paying a monthly fee for one music source to sound better. Especially when all the others still sound pretty good. The feature to temporarily hear your surroundings when noise canceling is active was also cool but odds are you won't use it often if at all. Overall they're cool noise canceling headphones that sound good. The app works on andoid well but I didn't do any testing with an iphone. Price is a little high but would recommend.

Great headphones. As expected, the noise cancellation is top notch. I don't think I've ever used anything better in that area. Battery life is really good too. I don't think I can kill these in a day even at max volume with noise cancellation on. Even if I can, they charge from 20% to 80% fast enough that I don't worry about battery life. I wouldn't complain if there was a little more volume at maximum with less distortion, but admittedly, I'm a person who has been around loud music from my teenage years and my hearing isn't the best these days, and I really like to turn up the volume sometimes. These will probably be fine for most people in the volume department when used with noise cancellation. I just like my headphones to have slightly more volume than I need while staying distortion free. Otherwise, great headphones, especially if you get them on a good sale. I'm not someone who would usually pay $400+ for headphones, but I'll take them at half price on sale for sure.

I LOVED these headphones right from the beginning! They are noise canceling and don't give me headaches from the pressure of wearing them or using the noise canceling feature. They also have an optional feature so they can detect when you take them off and automatically pause your music so you don't miss it! If you get the companion app that goes along with them you can customize pretty much everything. You have the option to adjust the noise canceling level, the bass, if you want them to auto adjust to your lifestyle and so much more!

I wanted to do am "in-store" comparison between the Bose QC 35 I have owned for about the last 2 years and the Sony WH-1000XM4. Unfortunately, the demo station in the branch nearest to where I live, never had the demo model set up properly and, besides, I wouldn't be able to compare the same music. Well, now that I have bought a pair of these great headphones and have finally done an "in-home" comparison, listening to the same song, I can truthfully say that this Sony model is superior to the Bose QC 35. While the Bose model has produced very good sound and the noise cancellation has been excellent, the bass on the Sony is much stronger and the overall clarity of the music is noticeably sharper. Also, the Sony app provides a much superior Equalizer experience for customizing your own settings, allowing you to set up TWO custom pre-sets. The Sony even feels more comfortable than the Bose which wasn't ever UN-comfortable. The Sony just feels "softer" and "lighter" by a small margin. The Sony app even allows a more custom fit by allowing you to measure your ears using photos you take. Until recently, BB was carrying the previous model, the Sony - WH -1000XM3 but this has been, I'm guessing, phased out for the slightly more advanced XM4 released by Sony in 2020. My needs for using this headphone are very basic. I don;t really use the voice or phonecall feaures, so I'm not in a position to state how well that works. I did use the volume feature on the right earcup, (no button, you simply raise or lower the volume by running your finger vertically up or down the earcup exterior), and that worked fine and the connection between the Sony app and the headphones paired effortlessly. All in all, I'd say that, soundwise, (especially because I like extra bass), these are superior to the Bose QC 35, and are worth the price if you want the more expensive noise cancellation headphone experience.

I grabbed these on sale on 3.8.22. There was so much hype surrounding these, so I pulled the trigger. I can honestly give a review after owning them for 17 days! My taste in music ranges from bands like Rotting Christ, Behemoth, Slayer and in a flash, I can go to Frank Sinatra. Yes, I know it's a great range in genre, but these headphones keep me happy. I don't find them to be too bass happy or treble happy, but I would rather call them neutral sounding. I'm not an audiophile, but I can't find any issues with these at all. The Sony app works just fine on my S22 Ultra and it gives the ability to tweak the EQ where I want it. They are very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The noise cancelling feature is quite nice compared to my Bose QC 25's. I don't feel the pressure on my ears that I do with my Bose. Battery life thus far has been good. The longest I have had them on (on and off to be honest but still powered on) was when washing my two vehicles and my motorcycle and still had a ton of battery left. Estimated time I used them was about 6 hours. I love the color as well; the blue is very nicely done, and the picture doesn't do it any justice. The only complaint is the USB C cable is so short! I have a charging station for all my devices and the included cable is too small. I suppose if you are using your laptop and need a quick charge, the size of the cable would be fine. Are these worth the hype? In my opinion they are and if you can wait for a sale, grab them!
