Sony-WH1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At the time when I purchased these I was beginning to get tired of earbuds and wanted to try something different. When I bought these it was like a whole new world of music was unearthed to me. Definitely a worthy purchase as it completely changes the way music sounds. The audio quality and noise suppression plus the comfortable fit makes these a top choice.

Absolutely the best over ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Any review that reads that these are the best headphones for the money is spot on. This from a long time Bose disciple. Great comfortable (even when on the wrong way for a couple of hours without realize it), absolutely great sound, and very good battery life.

Small issues, but still great headphones
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My one gripe with these is that they sometimes cut out while I’m listening to music. The other thing is that when I’m connected to two devices (IOS), and I take a call, it messes with the whole system until I can figure it out. This could be my own user error so take this with a grain of salt. That being said, these are probably the comfiest headphones I’ve had the pleasure of owning. They might be plastic, but that doesn’t take away from the overall quality at all. I can wear these for hours on end without it hurting my ears or head (and it never has hurt…ever). The sound is great for a casual listener without trained ears, and I love the way they look. Overall, those small issues might take away from these slightly, but I would absolutely buy them again.

Best Headphone Ever
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headphone is amazing!! I bought this product while it was on a flash sale, and this was one of the best investments I have ever made. The headphones sit comfortably on your ears, the sound quality is smooth with a sturdy bass, and the noise cancellation is astonishing. The battery life is great too as it can last for almost 20 hours for me. I mainly use it for the gym, and I could go on without charging it for a whole week. With a built-in swiping feature, I am also able to skip through songs and hold down the headphone to muffle the music and listen to outside noise. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to buy nice headphones for a decent price

- Pros mentioned:Bass, Sound quality
Great all around sound with extra bass.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the Bose 700 ANC first and wasn't satisfied with the bass response. The highs are second to none however the bass was really lacking. I returned them and got the MX4s. All I can say is wow! Sound quality is awesome and the bass is deep and loud. The app allows for adjusting the sound and I was blown away. Definitely a keeper. Bose does have the option in their app but it does little help for bass. The MX4s headset is great for plane flights. With all the noise on a plane, the MX4s block it all. The Bose 700s left me with a earache due to the air pressure, I didn't get that with the MX4s. Great job Sony! I fly very frequently and both headsets have their plus and negative. To me the MX4s do what I need them to do. I'm bass heavy so the MX4s are great for me and the 360 sound is amazing. If you like sound clarity with light bass; go with Bose 700s. If you want clarity and good punchy low end bass, go with the MX4s. Sony did a better job when it came to all around sound. That's my 2 cents.

Great product for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Quality Headphone that are versatile and comfortable. I use these headphones for when I play my PS5 because it comes with a aux cord. Not a lot of high quality headphones still have aux ports on their products, and I love that Sony still does. The sony app also does a good job of helping you EQ your sound, which beats JBL's app in terms of quality and function. I would suggest spending the money to get these headphones because they will last a long time. Sony makes great listening products.

GREAT headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't say enough great things about these Sony headphones! I did a LOT of research and analysis before making my decision. I compared the Sony with the Bose 700 and Apple AirPods Max. The price point alone was a significant factor in my decision. But there were other important reasons I decided on the Sony. The noise cancellation technology is excellent. I have used these on several plane rides and it cancels out all the background noise. However, when important announcements come across, the voice recognition technology allows for those important messages to come through. The sounds quality is what you have come to expect from Sony. Great sound and deep, rich bass. The battery life is excellent. And if you're running low, a quick charge gets you going again. Overall, these are exceptional headphones. My 2nd pair of Sony's and a great purchase for the money.

Perfect Bluetooth ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are light weight, comfortable and long lasting (about 29 hrs from my test). Keep in mind that for gaming you need to wire up, to avoid BT lag. If you're looking for gaming headphone only, there are cheaper options out there but if you're looking for these specifics features, this is the headphone to beat!

outperforms the competition
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I debated between these headphones and the Bose 700 for many months. I bit the bullet when I spoke to someone in the store who spoke about his experience with these for the last year. I’m glad I listened. These are so comfortable and the noise cancelling is incredible. The audio quality is top notch, the automatic noise cancellation feature can be great when turned on. It will enable 100 percent when stationary and when it detects you moving it will allow all sound to enter to hear your surroundings. You can adjust the intensity of the noise cancelling on multiple levels and for multiple preset scenarios. Audio quality is consistent throughout every setting. I am someone who worked as an audio engineer for 8 years and this does not seem to color the sound of any audio. No extra bass, no harsh highs. Just perfect for comfort, quality, ease of use. Happy with this purchase and if you’re debating… don’t and go buy them!

Sony Wh1000xm4 you may be stolen but will be rem….
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I miss them so much! I recently graduated college with my masters and love using them to study or simply being deep in thought with the ANC feature. However they were stolen. Now I only have the memories of studying together, getting ready for football games, long walks, and helping me with my mental health. Holding one hand on one ear cuff was a killer feature so I can talk and hear my surroundings. I highly recommend and I know the M5 may be even better.
