Best Bluetooth headphones I've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Bluetooth headphones I've ever owned! The battery lasts forever and they sound great. I've had a couple of strange disconnects during calls but I'm not really using them for that anyway

Lots of great features like: Swipe Volume Control, Swipe Skip, Swipe Replay, Auto Pause when you speak and much more control and customization using Sony's app.

Good recommendation if ANC is a priority
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is amazing! Comfort is also great, but the ears can get hot a couple hours in. Touch control can be a bit finicky, I had to exchange mine out for a replacement, but it worked ok after that. I hate having to adjust the headband slider every time I put them back in the case, since I use the case often, but that's just being nitpicky. Great headphones!

Great unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read a lot of reviews before purchasing the xm4 headset. I am very happy with these. I am not a music expert but I know what I like being of the older generation. I amazed by the noise cancelation, sound and battery life of the unit. The one problem is after a couple of hours having the on my ear start to sweat so I take them off.

Posted .Hello WinA,
Thank you for choosing Sony!
We're excited to hear that you’re enjoying the WH1000XM4 headphones and appreciate their great sound quality and value. Your honest note about the bass response is especially helpful, as it offers valuable insight into your listening preferences.
To enhance your experience, you can adjust the bass on your WH-1000XM4 headphones using the "Sony | Sound Connect" app. The app lets you choose from preset sound profiles or create a custom equalizer setting, where the "Clear Bass" slider allows you to increase or decrease the bass to your liking.
For a step-by-step guide, this video shows how to adjust the bass and equalizer settings: https://youtu.be/z9Ak6Z0qxz0?si=r4jBO5LentUDXc6j.

10/10 Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I adore these. Super comfy lasts for days of occasional listening or about two ish days of almost non stop listening. I really like the app and the different sound profiles that are premade and available. The noise canceling is amazing also. It’s not 100% but it sure tries its hardest to give it to you.

Best headphones out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased a pair of the new Bose Quiet Comfort headphones and returned them for these. They didnt compare at all when it came to style, functionality, sound, and features. The Sonys have a built in assistant that can be accessed at the touch of a button which could be used with Google or Alexa. They have a unique feature to hear your surroundings by holding the outter side of the headphone. The app has countless settings to fully customize them to your liking. And even a feature to capture a photo of your own ear to get the best sound possible. I noticed the headphones are also scratch resistant and stay clean for the most part. Every other pair of headphones that ive worn, ended up with scratches and blemishes shortly after purchase. The case included is protective and functional. The right ear side has hand gesture functions that help you amswer calls, end calls, skip songs, and change volume. Which does take some getting used to. I personally recommend these to anyone. I can finally be heard with ease on my calls without too much background noise. You can't go wrong with this purchase.

Best Headphones for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bang for buck one of the best headphones you could ever get. I had the previous gen of the headphone and decided to upgrade and it was the best decision I made. They took the previous model and improved in every way. Sound never cuts and you can feel the bass in your ears. Truly an amazing experience to listen to anything with these on.

Perfect for Morning/University Commutes
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these!!!! They block out 90% of regular noises that I would normally hear on buses (light fixture buzzing), arguments, drunk party goers, and etc. They also make it more likely for me to have my own sense of space when I am anywhere. I get to be comfortable and well contained in the spaces that I'm in, like a I'm the only person in the world. The noise cancelling features, atmospheric pressure adapter, and different sound modes are added benefits that you never know you needed until you have it! I also have sound more headphones but these ones best them and I always have them on even in bed. They are also a beautiful black color and I am wearing them out but they aren't really showing signs of wear or waning sound quality. Best impulse purchase ever!
