    I cannot rave about these enough. As someone with sensory sensitivities, these have been an absolute lifesaver. They are incredibly comfortable and block out an amazing amount of irritating noises and sounds. The sound quality through them is crystal clear and pristine. I wish they offered more color options! These are WORTH EVERY PENNY. Battery life is incredible on them too!

    Best headphones you will ever buy, top of the line audio, build quality is good but I would still handle with care considering they are mostly plastic. Charges fast and definitely last 30 hours without extreme mode and equalizer turned up. The pairing and the app are very simple and straight forward. Not bulky at all, on the slim side actually. Super comfortable, easy to wear for hours with little to no ear stress.

    So far the sound quality and battery life have been great. The headset is comfortable enough to wear all day and the microphone has been working great for all my meetings as well as phone calls. I haven't had them that long so I'm still figuring things out, but being able to connect to two devices and have it pause music on my laptop to answer a phone call has been a huge help while working from home. These are an expensive pair of headphones, but you definitely get what you pay for.

    The official price is very expensive but with the Black Friday price of $278, the value proposition is much improved. Having M2 and M3 myself, 1000XM4 is a much better version to previous models with improved noise-cancellation and more comfy to ears. Most importantly it can now simultaneously connected to two devices at once without the need to manually disconnect one to the another. Very satisfy with its performance, the touching mechanism is still annoying though.

    Got some lower quality noise cancelling headphones for Christmas (anker) but as more and more people came in the office the noise cancelling just couldn’t deal. So I did some research and after listening to co workers bose and Sonys (previous gen). I decided on the Sonys and waited for a deal to come along. Sound quality is excellent, and they are comfortable to wear. Sound reproduction is great and they are a lot more comfortable than my previous models. Features that I thought were gimmicky during initial research are actually quite nice. The music stopping when you remove the head phones or the gesture controls on the right ear, are actually super handy and make for a good experience. There is some stuff that might be useful to creatures of habit that i don’t use ie the location based settings in the Sony app. They are great headphones use the Sony app to customize to your taste and you will be happy. The case is super well built I don’t know if I will ever actually use the old two prong airline adapter but being able to use the headphones wired without a charge is a nice feature. Early in my career I worked a lot in live sound so wireless headphones were always kind of a convenient gimmick that sacrificed quality in the name of not being tied to something with a wire. These are excellent units that I use to block out the world at the office and join conference calls with excellent tool and appliance that I also enjoy.

    Amazing sound, mediocre to poor UX in other ways

    First, the good. The sound quality is incredible. ANC works great, audio sounds fantastic and crisp out of the box. Setup is simple (as long as you are using a single device; more on this in a moment) with either a phone or a computer. The headset is lightweight and easy to wear for hours at a time. Now the bad: The touch-sensitive buttons are bad. They regularly just didn't do anything. They're unintuitively designed and feel like a bargain-brand implementation of what is considered a high-end function. The headset mode vs headphone mode is also not great. There's no way to control side-tone in headset mode, which means that the great noise cancelling function is all but useless when using it as a headset (like meetings and phone calls). Also, not being able to turn the headset on while charging is ridiculous. I am an extremely heavy user (like 6-10 of active use per day), so charging while using is critical to me. Using the headset with multiple devices is great if those devices are computers, but terrible if one is a phone. If you get a phone call while using it on a computer, the phone call takes over (without the ability to override this that I am aware of). Then to reconnect to the computer the only way I've got it to work is to turn the headphone off and on again. When I'm in the middle of a meeting, this is not ideal. If you care about audio quality above all else, it's easy to recommend, but overall usability makes this difficult to recommend to most people, especially for the premium price.

    So far, so good. I wasnt sure about purchasing the Sony product as I've bought Bose for my other audio products, but I loke these very much. Bought online so didn't have ability to compare as i would in store. Sound quality is good and i loke being able to adjust on the equalizer. The controls are easy to use, as is the app. The noise canceling is very good, but found that when i dont want it on, it sometimes automatically comes on by itself. They are Fairly comfortable and I was able to use them on a four hour flights without issue. Battery life is awesome. Overall, happy with my purchase so far.

    Overall I absolutely love these headphones. I have the wf-1000XM5 earbuds which I love, but they aren't super comfortable so I bought these. The earbuds have slightly better quality in the sound and noise cancellation but that's understandable since these are only over the ears. These are super comfortable, I can wear them for hours and even sleep with them on. The only issue I have with these is that they don't fit super tight so sometimes they fall off if I move around too much, so if you plan on using these for the gym and you have a small head like me they probably won't work well.

    I got these headphones when there was a little sale going on but I have to say it's well worth the full price. The mark 4's not only look great but they sound amazing. I can put these on, use the noise cancelling, and listen to my music with no distractions, even when sitting next to someone in the car playing their own music over the speakers and singing as well. I'm glad I made this purchase. On the flip side, there are two minor issues I've run into since using these. One, the touch controls are a little bit unresponsive at times. For instance, double tapping to pause sometimes takes a few tries to work. Moreover, the touch controls are only available on the right side of the headphones. Though this is fine I suppose in most instances. Two, the battery percentage is perhaps inaccurate? When I first got these, they came supposedly at 100% battery because that's what the headphones said when I pressed the power button. However, it kept saying that for a while, until all of a sudden it dropped to 40%. There was no gradual battery drainage i.e. 100% > 75% > 50% > 25%. I haven't been using them for very long so I'll have to see if this can be fixed or not. Aside from these very minor problems I've encountered, these headphones are an amazing product and I'm excited to keep using them, especially when taking flights.

    The headphones are arguably the best audio I have ever experienced from a pair. The bass thumps without being overbearing. The clarity is exceptional, and the detail is outstanding. The headphones also remain comfortable to wear over extended periods of time. I do wish they were water resistant. These rival Sony's latest model, which I also have, if you want to save some cash.
