Best wireless headphones money can buy.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After months of watching YouTube reviews videos I finally pulled the plug and purchased them. Not a regret in the world…they’re just as good as the reviews claimed. They feel great on the head and sound awesome. The noise cancelling is the best I’ve had in a pair of headphones. Going to enjoy these on my flight to Hawaii in a couple weeks.

Yeah...Oh yeah...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First pair of cans since 1972. Those were great wired headphones from Koss. Well, these are very different to say the least. And they are excellent. I'm no audiophile, no question. But love my jams regardless. Light, comfortable, easy to use. Sound is rich, full and clean. The Active Noise Cancellation comes in handy when daughters, granddaughters and dogs come over. I'm keeping them.

An Unplanned Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these because my old Sony headphones broke. It was an accident. They were in excellent condition and worked fine. It's just not as comfortable anymore, and I really don't want to tape it up. I will give it away to anyone who could use it. Anyway, the new headphones work fine, and it's taking a little getting used to with the lack of controls and the swiping nonsense. I prefer the controls on the headphones. I will get used to it, I suppose. It's a personal thing; I have nothing against the sound quality or the improved noise cancellation. That is a plus, as it is way better! Minus one star because I do not like the swiping.

Best headphones I've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned several different pairs of headphones from several different manufacturers, and these are by far my favorite. My last set was actually a pair of Sony wh- xb900n's, which I liked but wasn't blown away by. These blow them away. I like the fit of the XB's a bit more, but these aren't uncomfortable at all. The sound paired with the noise-reduction makes buying these a no-brainer.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony headphones are amazing! The headphones are designed to be both comfortable and stylish. The sound quality is impeccable. The only con I would like to point out is that sometimes the headphones will automatically connect to other devices they have been paired with and will refuse to connect to my current device without holding down the bluetooth button and pairing again.

Posted .Hi hellocorky,
Thank you for an amazing review! We're glad to hear that you like the comfortable fit, stylish design and great sound quality of the WH1000XM4. We're sorry to hear that you are having issues with Bluetooth communication on the headphones. If you touch an NFC-compatible smartphone to the headset while the headset is connected to another Bluetooth device, the connection switches to the smartphone (One-touch connection switching). However, the connection cannot be switched when talking on a headset connected to a Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone.
When an NFC-compatible smartphone is connected to the headset, if the smartphone is touched by another NFC-compatible Bluetooth headset or Bluetooth speaker, the smartphone is disconnected from the headset and connected to the Bluetooth device.
If you need assistance, feel free to contact us by send us an email with the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

Solid choice
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're solid. I really wish they had buttons though, I need to press a button not swipe, i still haven't figured em out. But they definitely shut out the noise, maybe a bit too well honestly.
