Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned several Bose headphones and these are as good if not better than any I have used. I’m not sure what I think of the touch controls over other headphones I’ve used, but these are very comfortable with a long battery life and great sound. All that said, I think you can’t go wrong with these or Bose. Just go with whichever you prefer.

Great Cans
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is great although not the best bass. They are so comfortable I can wear them for hours without feeling pressure on my ears. I really like the easy controls for skipping tracks or replaying ones I especially like. Raising or lowering volume is a snap. Of course not struggling with a cord is nice. I highly recommend.

Great noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The noise canceling is really great, I have young children and my one kid has a squeal that will split your ear drums. I put these babies on and tho I can still hear his squeal that rivals Mariah Carey’s highest octave range, it’s so much more bearable! Aside from that, the Sony app that comes with it is pretty cool I like to use it to change some settings. I think there’s definitely some quirks to it but overall great noise canceling comfortable and light headphones I highly recommend.

Best Daily Use Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using these headphones for about a year now and it's been a game changer for my day-to-day. I work remote but the headphones work great for calls on all types of apps (zoom, google meets, teams, etc) and the ANC blocks off the background noise if you have some family. I only have the occasional connection issues but it isn't anything you can't fix with a quick reset.

Great Noise Cancelling Headphone.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise cancelling headphones that didn't produce any pressure like other ones I have used so I'm able to wear them for extended hours.

Amazingly Amazing Sounding Headphones!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are all they're cracked up to be on the amazing reviews online! Sony has the corner on the market with over the ear headphones in my opinion. I've had some Sony wired MDRV-6 headphones for decades and they're still making them as they're one of the most venerable pair on the market still today, running around 4 Bills to get them. These Sony-WH-1000XM4's are no slouch for Wireless Headphones! I'm truly amazed with the spatiality, accuracy, and noise-cancelling qualities of these headphones. When you add in the Sony 360 Reality recordings it's truly going to take you to a whole different level. Wanna feel like you're in the studio and looking in different directions for each musician... that's what 360 is about. Very much like a live performance. I'm using TIDAL for my online music choice after reading many reviews about different services. I'm TOTALLY happy with their quality as it never fails to amaze me with their sound and they offer the Sony 360 music too! I'm sold on these, and the only headsets that compare are my wired Sony MDRV-6's. I don't like to buy things twice as I like to get what I want the first time, and I'm very happy. You might pay a pretty penny for these, but they're worth every hard earned penny you spend!
