Sony vs Bose
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sounds quality overall is okay but not as good as Bose. They do have a bit more bass than the Bose headphones but the notes and sound quality itself isn’t as good as the boss headphones. So if you want sounds quality don’t care for base I’d go with Bose. If your a bass head and don’t care much for quality of sound then grab these. They connect well and the app works sometimes with the headphones. But I went bald to the quiet comfort 45 Bose headphones. Just better sounding in my opinion you truly can’t go wrong with Bose they make better products.

Noise Cancelling Headsets
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headsets. I bought them for the noise cancelling effect, which has been working great so far. After I have been able to connect them to my older TV's and Tablet, I have this,wonderful surround sound effect. Even though I did not plan buying headsets,that pricey, it definitely was a good investment. Highly recommended.

Former Bose, new Sony Fan!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the 700 Bose headphones first, and while the sound was 'good', had too many issues with connections and with the Source List in the app not working when I needed it. Switched to the Sony headphones and couldn't be happier!! All my issues with Bose are nonexistent with the MX 4s. Longer battery, better sound (imo), better functionality with the controls since you have twice the surface area to work with... and the cheaper price is the icing on the cake!

Solid pair of headphones!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones for the reduced price. Audio quality is solid and the Bluetooth has been very handy while traveling. Took a little time to get used to compared to open ear. Battery life is a little less than expected with certain settings enabled.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed review, TobinD!
We are pleased to hear that you found the WH-1000XM4 headphones to be a great value at the reduced price and that you are enjoying the solid audio quality and very handy Bluetooth feature while traveling.
We understand that switching from open-ear headphones requires a slight adjustment, and we appreciate you giving yourself time to get used to the sealed fit. We also acknowledge your feedback regarding the battery life being a little less than expected when certain features (like full ANC or certain codecs) are enabled; performance can vary based on usage settings.
We are glad the XM4s are serving you well on the go!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best set of headphones I've ever used. I'm not an audiophile or anything like that, though. I mostly just use them while working or while cutting the lawn (noise cancelling works great as ear protection and the music is a bonus). They are very comfortable and they sound great.

Great Headphones
|Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these headphones are great. The battery lasts plenty of time on a single charge. The sound quality is great, as is the noise canceling feature. The Sony Headphones app is a must for these. They are not for exercising or sports, since they are not water resistant or very tight. Great for commuting and leisure.

One of the best over-ear wireless BT headsets
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned Bose QC 35 IIs, but I'm happy to be back in the Sony Eco-system. The ear cups are very comfortable and can be worn for hours at a time with minimal discomfort. A lot of convenient features such as the touch gestures, USB-C charging, and "hand over right earcup to talk to people" make this headset one of my favorite. The sound quality is on-par with the Bose, and I think the headband is more comfortable.

Great sound and NC function
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphones. I like to use these to drown out ambient noise while watching a movie. With the 360 sound imbedded into these phones it really immerses you into what you’re watching on screen. I actually prefer this to my sound bar. Also, the bass great but is not too punchy. The noise cancelling feature is my main selling point on these: drowns out a city bus and even on the subway. It may be a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for.
