Amazing Headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic. I did try the other high end brand of headphones. But I returned them, I purchased the Sony headphones and I absolutely love them. They work great with my cell phone and my gaming laptop. I recommend these to anyone. Also when they have an update they inform menof that so my listing experience is on point.

Great Heaphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound for these headphones are great. I really don't have any major complaints about them. I would just say that they are sensitive to touch, so if you are using them while moving around a lot, turn off the touch controls so that the music won't randomly pause.

it is a steal for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is much better than some of the high end headphones found in Magnolia. Very good warm bass but it overshadows the high frequencies. The sound may sound muddled. But for the price, it is worth like a steal. Surely, it is very highly recommended for the price.

One of the best noise canceling headphones out!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable, great noise canceling, fits over ears perfectly, convenient design to fold up in carrying case, pairs easily with any app or device, good base. One thing to note: outside of the Sony headphones app, you can also adjust the settings in your actual phones settings. Took a minute to figure out, but it makes a huge difference when you learn how to do that as well.

Great quality with one tiny issue
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality, having a separate app is kind of annoying, but if you want a lot of customization in your sound preferences, this is definitely for you.

Incredible sound!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love wearing these headphones while I'm working out or even shopping at the grocery store or I can listen to some great music without hearing external sounds. With one touch on my headphones the music stops and I can talk to people with my headphones still on and hear them perfectly! I highly recommend this model and this series presented by Sony. Best Buy is a great place to purchase these along with reasonably priced protection plans.

Great ANC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These certainly are not the best sounding headphones on the market, but they probably are the best sounding headphones with active noise canceling. Now, don’t expect them to completely block out all noises, that’s not what ANC is even supposed to do. However, these are excellent at canceling out background noises, like low rumbles and stuff like that. If you’re listening to music or a video or something, then that noise plus the ANC will probably block out those other sounds anyway. I used these while I was gaming and I was never once disturbed. The only downside is that they’re a little bulky for my taste, but that’s just an issue with all over the ear headphones.

Posted .Hi Walt, Thank your for the amazing review! We're glad to hear you feel the WH-1000XM4 is the best Noise-Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones in the market. The noise canceling function of these headphones is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies. We appreciate your feedback about the size of the unit.

Slight improvement over last gen Sony XM3
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC on XM4 seems to be slightly improved over XM3, especially in the bass region. Otherwise nearly identical to XM3 in sound, fit & finish, and tech- which is a good thing!
