Sounds great, my flaws with it
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great, great battery life, charges super quick, great on planes. Biggest issues it is pretty big not great for small heads. When going to the gym, need to wear an hat to fit without falling off. And it doesn’t have great communication if trying to use it as a headset for a computer. Or at least mine, I’ve got a Lenovo think pad.

Sony 1000XM4 Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 4th, I think, pair purchased or exchanged through Best Buy, Sony had terrible customer service, as I have tried with previous to send off for repair. They recommend a company in New York. Unfortunately, one of the pairs had broke above one of the ear cups. I keep getting this product because it is the best Noise Canceling on the market. I wish Sony, for the amount they charge, do a better job of service
