Great ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are a great set of headphone. These headphones are good for listening to music when doing chores around the house or just sitting back and relaxing. For me the best feature is the ability to pause when the headphones are removed. They are excellent at blocking outside sound and sound great for music or podcasts. Their only weakest is phone calls, not as clear as when listening to music.

Very convenient features. Build quality issues.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones twice within a week. First ones had creaking issues in the ear cups, headband and hinges. For a premium product that is unacceptable. Took them back for Anker XR. Figured for $80 see if they didn't creak. They didn't but very uncomfortable and sound was lacking coming right from the XM4. Got a second pair of XM4 and so far so good. ANC, sound and swipe all make for a great headset. Just wish the build quality was better.

Sounds great, my flaws with it
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great, great battery life, charges super quick, great on planes. Biggest issues it is pretty big not great for small heads. When going to the gym, need to wear an hat to fit without falling off. And it doesn’t have great communication if trying to use it as a headset for a computer. Or at least mine, I’ve got a Lenovo think pad.

Incredible sound and comfort at reasonable value
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been a gamechanger working from home during the pandemic. Sound is fantastic and noise cancelling is pretty strong. I did purchase these on sale ($70 off) which has greatly increased the value, but I would recommend at full price. During extended wear, they can start to bother my head, but the earcups are the most comfortable I have ever had (and wish the PS Pulse 3D headset learned from)

Perfect noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones work great with my Surface Go 2, Lenovo Yoga laptop, iPod, and JBL speakers. With a Bluetooth dongle, the headphones also works well with my Nintendo Switch and Playstation 5. These are true noise cancelling headphones that block out all noises when I am on Zoom or playing video games. The con for me is that it can become uncomfortable after a long period of time.

Pretty great but…
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the headphones the sound is amazing and the feature that always you to converse with others just by starting to talk is handy. The only real issue is that feature is very sensitive to the point that even when I laugh it goes off. The feature can be turned off so its not an issue for the future so other than that I can recommend these headphones.
