Best headphones I've ever used
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a beginner audiophile, there are the perfect set of headphones. I initially bought them to help me study and it boosts my focus like no other. I use them daily to listen to music and the quality is unlike any other earbuds or headphones I've used before. I love the functionality of the touch panel. It's been about 2.5 years of use and it's held up great, with frequent cleaning in between. I highly recommend these headphones.

Best I’ve ever had. I have 2 that are both broken.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been an avid user of Sony WH1000XM4 headphones, and they are the best sounding headphones I’ve ever had but the suckers will break on you and customer service is very lackluster. Sony, I would pay double if your headphones didn’t break. that’s what happened because I just bought another pair In april. They are already broken again. Your headphones should tolerate a varieties a charging voltages. The charger you provide is a joke. To anyone considering buying these keep your receipt for the love of God do not charge the device with any other cord but the one provided. Non-Apple lightning cords won’t destroy your iPhone. What’s your excuse Sony

Very happy & always looking for excuse to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really a 4.7 only because they are not quite as comfortable as I would like. Can't wear them for more than hour (think podcasts). Dual pairing is brilliant (phone and TV) and swaps between devices automatically and effortlessly. I like the layout of the new app as well. Not a good a Philips Hue but way better than Sonos. Oh and yah they sound really good too :) I got them for $100 off with a my $50/yr membership!!! (so worth it).

Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear that you're happy with your new Sony headphones. Your positive feedback regarding the sound quality and connection is greatly appreciated. If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort.

Thank you for choosing Sony!

Sony noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value. Noise cancellation works perfectly; I can’t hear a person speaking right next to me. The sound is good, although it has plenty of adjustments, which I haven’t fully explored, yet. I use them when working out and I find them comfortable for extended use. When on sale, they are a great buy.

Excellent ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far the best headphones that I have ever owned in terms of checking all the "boxes" for my needs. The noise cancelling is incredible as so many others have stated and the sound quality, with a little tweaking, is also amazing. I have used these wireless and wired and both sound very very good to my ears. While wired gives you true Hi Res quality depending on the source, I was pleasantly surprised by the Bluetooth streaming sound quality as well. No drops and a nice crisp sound that can be tweaked in the app to the user's liking. Almost two months in and I am very satisfied with the headphones in terms of features, sound quality, and overall build.

Best of the current main stream headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build quality is amazing and the sound quality is great. These are significantly better than the beats or Bose headphones. The USB C is also great. The touch controls aren't the best though.
