Great headphones with a few major drawbacks
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphones with lots of software but the software and the amount collected information is absolutely ridiculous. You need a lawyer to explain what you're agreeing to. Honestly I have no idea why these are so complicated. No ps4 or 5 support even though they are superior to the sets they make for the systems. Pretty much a let down other than the battery life and sound quality after finally getting them set up. If you are getting them just for your phone and dont care about signing your life away these are for you.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, really Boss headphones. If you have any doubt about the quality of the noise cancellation technology, just drop it. It will block just about everything out. Blaring TVs, voices, engine rumbles, etc. Now, I'm just wondering if I need the Geek Squad on these. Bluetooth technology still isn't perfect and who knows if it'll crap out in two years./

The noise cancellation is fantastic. It flawlessly drowns out the noises of the world. I would recommend these headphones to everyone! The sound quality is amazing.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my new headphones. I bought them to use when I’m traveling in my motor home which has a lot of road noise. But have since used them when working out and on an airplane. They are easy to use have great sound and definitely cut out all of the extra noise

Posted .Hi EricaM,
We appreciate you acknowledging the top-notch sound quality of the WH-1000XM4 headphones! We are sorry to hear they did not provide the necessary stability for your runs, as they are primarily designed for stable use during travel and daily commuting rather than vigorous athletic activity. For activities like running, we recommend considering one of our true wireless earbud models, such as the LinkBuds Fit, which are engineered with secure-fit wing tips and an IPX4 splashproof rating to ensure they stay comfortably and securely in place during movement.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
Beware - Not Worth the Investment
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these less than 6 months ago for sole use as my office headphones. I only used them while working and made sure to keep them protected in their case while not in use. A few weeks ago, plastic at the right the ear cuff joint began snapping off and the piece has continued to disintegrate. It is now unwearable and functionally useless. I immediately contacted Sony and although the product is within warranty, they refuse to cover "physical damage". There was never an incident that would have caused this damage, so I'm very disappointed in these headphones and am now researching alternatives! I now know that there are many Reddit threads about this exact damage occurring. This was a terrible first experience with Sony customer service and I will be avoiding their products moving forward.

Great for Gym
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones for the gym and everyday use. I sweat a lot and still they don’t seem to slip off or anything. My only drawback is for my set they only charge when I have them charging through my laptop rather than a wall outlet.

Best headphones I’ve ever owned!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Former Beats user. These are far beyond beats in every way. Tons of features and adjustability. With multiple levels of active noise cancellation. Wish I would’ve bought these sooner! The only thing that could be better is lack of iPhone support like beats and AirPods
