The Best Noise Canceling Headphones I Own
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the WH-1000MX3 for about a year and a half and I can say that these WH-1000MX4 are not a huge leap from the previous model but still the best noise canceling headphone I own. It has a few new features from the previous model but if you can get the previous model on a good sale deal, then take it. These are great but wouldn't pass over the model 3 for them if I could get the model 3 at $250 or less because they are the same headphones with maybe a 10% difference. If both are the same price get the model 4 but if you can get a deal on the model 3, take it.

Amazing on long flights!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used these headphones on my 15 hour flight to Johannesburg and they are amazing. You turn on noise cancellation and you can still kind of hear the sound of the plane. But when you put on some music and turn up the volume, you can't even hear the plane. I'm not even over exaggerating. The quality is decent. Nice plastics are used. It is a little pricey but depending on who you are, totally worth it.

Nice headphones

Very well rounded
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really impressed with the sound quality. The noise canceling was what I expected outstanding. The quality of the sound was a pleasant surprise I knew the sounded good I listened to them in store but I had a chance to use them on a very long flight and I was amazed at the depth of the sound. I own a really good pair of B&W p7s and I really like their sound but the Sony set really were really quite spot on add the superior noise cancelling and this is my go to for using on flights.
