As good as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the packaging to the actual headphones and accessories all feel premium. The sound of the actual headphones are the best in class for Bluetooth in my opinion. Only knock would be it feels like it could break east if not folded carefully.

Phenomenal headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been weighing between the Sony WH-1000XM3 and the Bose 700 for the last year and when these came out and I saw the reviews on them I just had to try them out. These are by far the best headphones I have ever owned. I am more than happy with my purchase and they not only sound amazing but the noise canceling is second to none! I have used them every day since I got them!

This is a buy!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 3rd purchase from my house. This time I bought it for my husband as my kids love this item. Using at home and airplane, they are very effective. Sounds is great while the headset actually cut the noises. I do recommend this item to everyone who is looking for a quality noise canceling headset with reasonable price.

Good, not perfect!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, incredible noise cancelling, good optimization when wearing glasses under headphones. Only gripe is that my ears, which are small, are a bit cramped and sometimes touch the headphones, which can start to hurt. I also don't like the way the headband is a bit raised, not the most fashionable.

Great purchase, quality noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality headphones, these have better bluetooth range than the Bose QC 35ii, which is why I got them. The sound quality is on par with Bose headphones, although the 2 headphones have different sound profiles. If the noise cancellation gives you headaches, try returning them for a different piece, as I had a similar issue with the one I first purchased.

Good ANC + sound but uncomfortable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound pretty good for the price point. Their main advantage, though is the noise cancelling. The only thing is, they're uncomfortable after wearing them for a little while. I would also not recommend this item if you need to switch smoothly between devices. You have to manually disconnect from the other device before you can use the other.

Simply the BEST!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re undecided, don’t think about it buy these. On sale they’re so worth it. I’d say watch the video on YouTube but you need the headphones to really hear what they’re capable of! I’m hearing parts of the song I’ve never heard before. The 360 degree feature is other worldly. The BEST noise reduction I’ve ever heard. Sorry Bose yours are inferior!

Not worth for the price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound effect and comfort on the ear. But biggest problem is multi device support. I paired it with apple TV and two iPhones and one Mac book. Whenever I turn on the Sony Headphone it's automatically connects last connected device (for example last connected device may be iPhone). If I want to connect to Apple TV, I have to remove the device and pair aging. Sony need to do something on that.

Posted .Hi Wills, while we are glad to hear that you are happy with the comfort and sound quality of your WH1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with its bluetooth connection feature. Once a device and the headset are paired, there is no need to pair them again. Connect to devices already paired with the headset using the methods necessary for each device.
For this, if you are pairing the headphones to your TV, please turn off the Bluetooth connection of your mobile device.
