UNBELIEVABLE!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic. Just... FANTASTIC!!! The Sony WH-1000XM4 shows just how good a high-end, flagship pair of headphones can sound. Did I say fantastic? FANTASTIC! Get these. No, really, GET THESE!! Or otherwise you will never know what music really sounds like. Now, all I have to do is decide whether to throw away my Powerbeats earbuds, or give them away. I know I will NEVER listen to them again. Not after listening to THESE HEADPHONES. Difference?? Night. And. Day. No wonder these are the top-rated headphones. They are...I really can not explain it, okay. Just BUY them! You will not, definitely NOT regret it. I surely didn't.

A must for students and anyone who likes quietness
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these! I bought them for my class since I kept breaking my EarPods (wired). I highly recommend, especially for students. I had construction going on right outside my window during my lectures and the noise cancelling blocked out the noise allowing me to focus in class including exams! In some occasions I would used them to take naps while construction was still going outside and I was able to sleep comfortably. I consider these headphones to be my BEST investment.

I can drown out the demons
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I still think this product has the best noise-canceling in the market, and that's it. The sound is satisfactory but far from impressive. It will sound amazing to the average consumer, but if you are not the average consumer and listen to HIFI or use a streaming service like Tidal, the sound is average, even with the AUX cord. Yes, these do support LDAC as well, and it is the same story. The XM4s are aimed at consumers with the increased bass right out of the box. Make sure you wash the back of your ears extra well because of how sweaty you will get wearing these in the summer.

Best headphones ever!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth every penny spent on these headphones!!! The only thing I would like to see change is they don’t come with a charging block (not a big deal), the usb cord is SUPER short, and for the money you would think they would have a nicer case. All nit picking stuff. That’s how AMAZING these headphones are!!! The headphones themselves are hands down the best headphones I have ever owned and in my humble opinion the best on the market. The sound quality is AWESOME and the noise canceling is AMAZING. They even canceled out the noise of a concrete saw cutting through 12” and 14” of concrete. Like they worked better than ear plugs!!! Highly recommend!!!

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had some beats studios from a long time ago that was not performing like it used to. I did a bit of research and these headphones were a great upgrade. The sony app that the headphones require is user friendly and will turn on only when the headphones are. Noise cancellation is awesome. Lots of other great features but it would make this review into a story. I would highly recommend anyone that is in the market to try these bad boys.
