Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like these headphones. I've never worn or even tried any other noise-cancelling headphones so I don't know how they compare. However, I bought these for plane travel and have worn them on numerous flights, both short and very long, and they've fit the bill. They block out a lot of the annoying airplane engine noise as well as the ambient noise of other passengers on the plane. The sound quality is good and they are easy to set up and re-connect to my phone and tablet.

Great headphones, stellar noise cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound great and the sound-cancelling is incredible. I forgot to bring these on a flight and definitely missed them. They are also great for an office environment, if you need to focus and get work done. The microphones are okay for the type of device, but certainly don't replace a headset with a proper microphone arm.

Sony - WH1000SM4
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previously purchased Sony - WH1000XM3 for work and airplane traveling which worked well. Recent purchase of Sony - WH1000XM4 is a nice upgrade. When the new headphones are on noise cancelling is impressive I barely hear surrounding environment. Audio is crisp and dynamic even when conversations are happening around me.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these headphones for working in the office. They’re exactly what I was looking for. The noise cancellation works really well and they have great sound. People would come in and out of my office and I had no idea. I highly recommend these if you’re looking for a good set of headphones that have active noise canceling and other great quality of life features.

I Love Them, Haven't went a day without em AWESOME
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I Love these headphone, the Noise Cancellation is amazing, ofcorse you can hear minor sounds, especially if they are just on your ears with nothing playing, with something playing, they are incredable, I am very happy with my purchase, sometimes the left ear makes a little humming sound but it comes and goes and really isn't that big of a deal, When using them to talk to people on the phone, they are great for you and the person you are on the phone with, with these headphones and the technology, they hear you better than ever.

Some of the best over the ear at headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my daughter for over the year headphones she had an older pair that finally went out. She had them for years. We replaced them with these because she researched all the Sony headphones and these among the best after she got them, she absolutely fell in love with them and uses them constantly

Great Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great and I enjoy the controls. The only downside is having to download a separate app in order to use the headphones. I also had problems with them disconnecting during phone calls. Overall, I enjoy these headphones and believe they are well worth the purchase!

Pretty good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound pretty good, my only complaint is they have a tendency to bring out the sibilance on vocals. Comparing to Apples Airpods Pro, base is much better, midrange a bit lacking, and vocals too sibilant (but I prefer these over the airpods).

I recommend getting them
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Over a year later and all i have to complain about is that i cant replace the earmuffs because itll cost me around 100 dollars to keep noice canceling. They became pretty flat around 3 months after i git them, but i wore them like 24/7. I dont regret getting them though. I sometimes go all week without having to charge them.
