Sleek, robust and awesome where it matters
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this headphone for a while now. It is simply the best for noise canceling and has a sleeker look than even XM5 for me. It is robust and charges very fast and lasts a long time. The multi-device connection is not the best though and sometimes the touch gestures are interpreted in the wrong way. But overall greate product.

Noise cancelling does work!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling does work! Battery is great, but I don`t think it lasts for 30h with noise cancelling. It is also very confortable.

The best in its class
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am glad I purchased this. I was also considering Bose, but these Sony headphones won me over. The battery life is the best out of all the other headphones in its class. I can go 2 days before I need to charge the headphones. For example, I used this headphones for a full day (8 am to 12 midnight) and I still had 70% of battery life left. Also, my next door neighbor was mowing the lawn one day and all I heard was a slight hum of the mower with the noise cancellation on and no music playing & with music playing I did not hear the mower at all.

Pretty nice and cute headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are good for noise canceling. They have 4 different options to choose from if you don't want to use noise canceling. Sometimes they randomly disconnect when I am using it but happens very rarely. The battery life is pretty long and it charges pretty quickly (about an hour for a full battery). It used to turn off by itself when left on and unused but now it doesn't do that so just remember to always turn them off when it's not being used.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first pair of Sony headphones. Very good to listen casually. I do workout in these from time to time and they are still holding up. Just gotta make sure to wipe it down since it can get very sweaty and wet. I guess if you want it to last longer then i recommend not working out in them. The cups themselves are very very soft and comfortable. I know that when getting helix piercings you shouldnt wear over-the-ears headphone, but i still wore these a week after I got my helix, I cant go without music in public and i hate playing music thru my phone speakers. It didnt irritate my piercings for at least 2-3 hours, which im surprised because my hyperx headphones hurts but these dont.

Sony WH-1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, and they have exceeded all my expectations. Overall sound quality is awesome, they drown out noise really well and I love that there’s an app where you can I have seen these go on sale from time to time, but I couldn’t wait, They last extremely long without me having to charge frequently which is a big plus.

Wowza!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a Christmas gift for our 16 year old son. He actually asked for a different brand that was cheaper, but they didn’t have them in stock. These were a step up and we got a "No way! These are the best! I never thought I would get these! These are awesome! Thanks mom, thanks dad!" I would say we made a good choice. I'll have to admit...they are pretty sweet, from the comfortable ear pads to the noise cancelling to the fantastic sound to the capabilities of answering your phone. Great product!

Best over ear headphones I’ve tried
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely my fave over ear headphones. It’s so comfortable to use for long periods of time. The sound quality is amazing. The controls are 50/50, the volume is controlled my sliding your finger up or down and waiting to see if you did it correctly, which I don’t like. But there are actual buttons to turn it on or off as well as to toggle between ambient sound off and on or noise cancellation on. It also connects to 2 devices at the same time allowing you to switch between devices without reconnecting Bluetooth each time. One thing I found annoying is if you accidentally brush your arm or whatever against the volume side earmuff, you’ll trigger its action by lowering or raising its volume. Also the noise cancellation is just ok, it could be better but it’s still really good.

Love them, but they are too big for my head
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really really love the sound of these, the features, the noise cancelling, everything. The only issue is my head might be a little too small because the end up being held up by my ears and that grts uncomfy. Trying to see if I can make them work or if I need to take them back and try to find some that adjust a bit smaller to my head. Ive had to put a sock underneath the headband part so it doesnt hurt my ears, they are super comfortable when they sit right though!
