Best headphones I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had Bose and Beats headphones, these are by far my favorite. These are the most comfortable and best sounding headphones I have tried. The touch controls are really interesting, the only major complaint is that some features can be counterintuitive.

Sony figured it out!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have used Bose for over 8 years. Lost my headphones (left on a plane after an early flight) and decided to get these. Used to be a fan of Sony from back in the day when they were heavy into music, but felt they lacked the edge of technology. Well I am pleasantly surprised that these are excellent in noise cancelling and crisp music. Bose are really good, these are GREAT, they figured it out and are very comfortable. I can wear them for hours at a time. Uses USB-C which is nice because most of my devices connect with the same. The app does what it needs to, and one feature you may want to consider toggling is the pause every time you speak. I did not realize how much I spoke to myself out loud only to realize that I had pause the music. The touch controls on the side are also easy to use and intuitive. Would highly recommend

Excellent noise cancelling, heavy bass
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise cancelling, very comfortable. Great sound; heavy on the bass but you can eq that out. Noise cancelling doesn't remove all higher frequencies but makes them much quieter, while low frequencies are pretty much gone.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! I don’t hand out five stars easily but these headphones never cease to amaze me. They have more features than you could ever imagine. If you get stuck in a setting just Google how to get out of it by using the model number of the headphones. It has more settings than are listed in the instructions. These really keep the noise out and would be great on an airplane even in the noisiest seat. They charge in the blink of an eye and the charge lasts me for a week of viewing in the evenings at least. I haven’t had to charge them yet. I just wish the charging cord was longer than 3 inches. They really exceeded my expectations.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony headphones do not disappoint. They have excellent, rich sound with plenty of bass to make songs thump. They connect seamlessly through Bluetooth and offer extended control through the phone app. For the most part, the headphones are comfortable for wearing and have nice padding. But after a couple hours of wear the pinch force begins to hurt. Overall they are great headphones.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality, really love it.The Sony M4 headset delivers impressive sound quality with rich bass and clear highs, enhancing your music listening experience. Its comfortable design allows for long listening sessions without discomfort, and the built-in microphone ensures clear voice calls. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of higher-end models, it offers great value for its price range.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best. They sound great, they are comfortable, and they isolate well. My one and only gripe is that the touch controls aren't the best, but they aren't bad either. Very satisfied

WH-1000XM4 Review
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: Sound quality (9/10), build quality (9.5/10), long battery life (consistent ~30 hours on full charge), quick charging, being able to connect to 2 devices at once (so underrated if you use your phone and laptop back to back for the same tasks). Cons: The app has been buggy on and off for me (sometimes reactivated speak-to-chat in the settings after an update). The charger cable could've been longer. Sometimes, the touch interface mistook my tapping (pausing/resuming) as swiping (previous/next). Extra notes: At some point they were beeping for no reason, so I had to factory reset the headphones a few times (which did fix the issue). Do not use these for picking up phone calls or for voice chat! Summary: Very good headphones for students if you're only focused on the noise-canceling, audio quality, and build quality. However, the software is a bit buggy, so I would recommend trying them out when they're on sale and taking advantage of the return window if you're on the fence about them.
