Sony MX4 Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. As expected, the noise cancellation is top notch. I don't think I've ever used anything better in that area. Battery life is really good too. I don't think I can kill these in a day even at max volume with noise cancellation on. Even if I can, they charge from 20% to 80% fast enough that I don't worry about battery life. I wouldn't complain if there was a little more volume at maximum with less distortion, but admittedly, I'm a person who has been around loud music from my teenage years and my hearing isn't the best these days, and I really like to turn up the volume sometimes. These will probably be fine for most people in the volume department when used with noise cancellation. I just like my headphones to have slightly more volume than I need while staying distortion free. Otherwise, great headphones, especially if you get them on a good sale. I'm not someone who would usually pay $400+ for headphones, but I'll take them at half price on sale for sure.

Sony - WH1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a gift from my spouse, and they are amazing. They cancel out any noise. When I am busy cleaning, I play music and when I speak the music automatically stops and the noise cancelling changes. I just need to tap on the right side of the headphones for the music to start again or wait until the outside noise stops and it will start again on its own. This is a great feature because my hands may be covered in cleaning materials, and I do not wish to touch my headphones but want my music to continue playing when I am done talking. The battery seems like it last forever and the headphones are very comfortable.

Wireless BOOM!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As one not normally discount the quality of Bluetooth over wired headsets, I have to say that these pack a major punch! Bass is incredible, the highs and mids are phenonimal. 28-30hr battery make them great fro travel. Using noise cancelling on my last flight - I couldnt hear a thing aside from my music - and no one could hear what I was playing. The app is nice and has an equalizer. One perk is an option to turn on voice assist, which can turn off noise cancelling if you get a call/start talking. 10/0 would reccomend!

Compare favorably to Airpods Max
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down best wireless ANC around IMO. Lots of great features, sound & noice cancelling. Compares favorably, IMO to Airpods Max even if evenly priced, which of course they’re not (these are 50% less). These are very comfortable, much lighter on your head than Airpods Max which gave me a headache. Sound quality very similar. Noise cancelling very similar. Not as good ambient sound. Can connect to two devices simultaneously (i.e. TV & iPhone at same time) 30+ hours listening time vs 20 from Airpods Max. Includes aux cable & hard travel case. Airpods Max do not include aux cable & it’s case is flimsy & annoyingly required to keep headphones at low power state. Sony’s charge via USB C. Airpods Max do not, insisting on Lightning cable. I prefer Sony’s over Airpods Max & think they’re the best bluetooth noise cancelling headphones on the market today.

Greatest noise cancelling headphones out there!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise cancelling and sound quality in the business that I have heard. I work in a noisy machine shop and this will kill the drone and angry screeching sounds of metal being cut. Helps me concentrate on my work and also tune out my sons video games or youtube at home. Very comfortable and battery life has been great. The EQ with the app along with adaptive listening settings gps tag your locations to dial in correct amount of ambient noise or full noise cancelling depending on how you register the location. For example at work I use full noise cancelling, walking, i set to wind reduction, home some ambient noise depending how loud my son is blasting youtube in the living room. Also has a feature that when you start talking it cuts noise cancelling while you can conversate with someone then it will resume music or movie after you stop talking for a bit or double tap right ear phone to resume play. Have to give a great big thanks to love of my life my wife who bought me these for our 15th anniversary.

Solid headphones. A definite buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great! They have pretty solid connectivity and the sound is phenomenal. Coming from AirPod pros, I don’t think it was a huge jump but still nice. They are comfortable but I’ve found wearing them for more than a few hours can make my head hurt eventually. I loved these so much I bought a pair for my sister as well. Bonus that these go on sale pretty often and are totally worth the money

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! The sound quality is really nice and the sound proofing option is really great. I love using the sound proofing when I am reading something in a busy area. The battery last a long time as well. Took a road trip that was about 8 hours. A majority of the time i used the sound proofing and then listened to music for a bit and my headphones had 90% battery.

Great Gift
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a great gift for someone who works out. My wife has worn them to run, to chill in the steam room, and in the rain. They come with a nice case, and they fold flat, which makes them easy to store. The battery life and noise cancellation are also great, and there’s hardly any noise coming out when you’re wearing them, even with the music at full blast.

We’re so glad to hear the WH-1000XM4 made such a great gift for your wife! It’s wonderful that she’s enjoying the battery life and noise cancellation, though we do want to mention that this specific model isn't rated for water or moisture resistance. To keep them performing their best for a long time, we'd recommend avoiding the steam room and heavy rain. We're thrilled she loves the fold-flat design and the quiet listening experience even at higher volumes. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Best headphones in their price point
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has been in the audio industry Since 1950’s, and it shows. Before buying these headphones, I tried on a similar pair for double the price, the AirPods Max, which had great noise cancellation, decent base, but lacking customization and portability. This is where the Sony headphones triumph over apple, the headphones come with their own app where you can customize the EQ and button functionality. They get regular updates, the comfort makes it so you can wear these for a long period, or until the long lasting battery runs out. Not to mention the traveling case with a plane adapter and pc adapter to use. These headphones are meant to travel with their user without being scared to break the bank for great audio and industry standard noise cancellation.

Best Noise Cancelling without Breaking the Bank
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about these headphones is stellar. Battery life, noise cancellation, comfort, style. I use them when traveling the most, especially when flying and they’ve not only lived up to the 20-hour battery life after 6 months of frequent use, but the noise cancellation makes it trivial to fall asleep, even during take off! I use an iPhone and, while AirPods have the best user interface in my opinion, I have no qualms with the way these headphones work. I think the only place they’re somewhat lacking is with the all plastic design, but it gets the job done.

Flagship for a reason
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If these are your first "premium" headphones, you will be impressed. If you are moving up from other models, you will ALSO be impressed. I own a few models of Sony headphones, and these are the flagship for a reason. Even moving up from the M2 of these was night and day. I also own the WF-1000xm3 earphones, and this is that much better. NC is next level, ambient noise mode is greatly improved, and the comfort is smooth. USB-C charging is a great standard, but the big draw is multi connection bluetooth. I never thought I would use it until I was watching a show on my tablet, and it paused the show and rang through from my cell phone. Seamless. App support is fully there, and even has Sony's "lossless" upscaling format. Battery life seems great so far, and it comes with a semi-hard case. Can be plugged in to 3.5mm wired plug, including a dual prong airplane adapter.
