    The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are a great set of headphone. These headphones are good for listening to music when doing chores around the house or just sitting back and relaxing. For me the best feature is the ability to pause when the headphones are removed. They are excellent at blocking outside sound and sound great for music or podcasts. Their only weakest is phone calls, not as clear as when listening to music.

    So glad I went through with purchasing these! I hesitated for a while because of the price. But when they were on sale, I jumped on it. I wish Spotify supported the 360 Reality Audio because I don't bother with 3rd party music apps I have not heard of. Regardless of that, the sound and features of these headphones is worth it to me. You get what you pay for!

    I bought these for my wife for Christmas because I knew the active noise cancellation was really good. The separation that you can hear between the instruments is pretty impressive for the money. I would recommend.

    These have been a gamechanger working from home during the pandemic. Sound is fantastic and noise cancelling is pretty strong. I did purchase these on sale ($70 off) which has greatly increased the value, but I would recommend at full price. During extended wear, they can start to bother my head, but the earcups are the most comfortable I have ever had (and wish the PS Pulse 3D headset learned from)

    I bought a pair for my husband and he loved them so much, 2 weeks later I purchased a pair for me. I love them! Great sound, love the noise canceling and you can keep them on, place your palm on the right ear and it allows you to hear someone who’s speaking to you.

    The balance is spot-on, bass is deep, mids are clear, and highs are crisp. It's a game-changer for travel and noisy environments. The Adaptive Sound Control is clever too, adjusting noise-cancellation settings based on what I'm doing and where I am.
