SUPER Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to drown out noise as I work from home and they did not disappoint! The headphones are very comfortable even after hours of use and the ambient noise feature is great. I initially went into the store thinking I would get a pair of Bose headphones, but am so happy I decided to browse around.

Beautiful Sony!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unmatched sound and functionality! Sony has always been my favorite when it came to bass, and these didn’t let me down at all! The work seamlessly with my iPhone and computer! I was going to get another headset for my laptop, but I don’t need ot with these!

Worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these over the new ones. If you prefer on the sound quality side such as bass etc this is it. But if you are looking for noise cancellation might need to reconsider it. I would compare the sound system and noise cancellation as the AirPods Pro gen 2. Battery life is amazing, If you was to ask me, these would last me a good 2 weeks. Give it a try if you don’t like it you can always return it with the 7-30 days policy.

Excellent headphones - def recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are reviewed as one of the market's best, so I had pretty high expectations. They're comfortable to wear, sound great, and look good. I would definitely recommend them. My only complaint is the passive noise cancellation works so well that it makes my ears warm.

Great over-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy listening to music with these but it's true that after a while your head starts to hurt a little because of the band and the ear cushions get kind of hot but overall these are great headphones with active noise cancelling literally you can't hear anything outside and I love it when going on the bus.

Revolutionary headphone at its best version
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are revolutionary. I can get work done at the office even with people having conversations a few feet away. You can go on a plane and can enjoy the movie. During the pandemic, we don't do these but the revolutionary technology still stands. On top of everything else, it has great sound. Other high end headphones assume some really quiet environment to sound good. I've had great sounds at 3AM in the morning off some high end headphones but daily noise it's just not that great sounding. With the Sony, you can hear the details in your music during the middle of the day, going for a walk on a noisy street (with safe walk only paths) or just for a nap. For all movies, I just use headphones now. Roku lets you watch a stream from your phone while watching on the TV and we just do that when we watch a movie together. These headphones give you peace and quiet when you need it and loud and noisy when you need them without bothering anyone else and letting anyone else bother you. Game changing technology.

Love these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend who loved them! Finds the side control features fascinating as well as the noise cancelling. Would recommend keeping in its case it comes in — I have my own which the skin has started peeling a bit because I didn’t take extra good care of them but that’s on me. Still going strong for 2 years!!

Very satisfied with purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. Very sturdy. Affordable for the brand name. The design is simple and adore the color of our purchase. Not disappointed at all. Very comfortable to wear but depending on the duration, it can get uncomfortable. One improvement is to improve the cleaning aspect.

I prefer Sony WH-1000XM4 over the others
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simply the best noise cancelling headphones I have tried. Better than Bose or Beats at the same price level. These are comfortable. The mic is great for calls and zoom sessions. Then, when you need music the sound and clarity are the best without being overly base thumpy. The case is great too.

XM4s are whatever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, after having these headphones for a while, I think they're all right. I bought them because I was going on a big trip, and on the plane, they held up pretty good and were nice to have. However, I also brought my AirPods to see the difference, and to be honest, it wasn't that much of a difference that 300 dollars is buying you. These headphones sound great, and that's pretty much all they offer: good-sounding wireless headphones. However, I can't say it's worth the $ 300 price tag. I'd say if you're looking for good quality headphones,s they're other options better for your pocket to,o and If you already own noise canceling wireless headphones like AirPods Pro 2nd gen or of the same generation, I'd say just stick with as these headphones are really that much of an incentive to buy them they're also from 2016
