Good noise cancelling, great customization!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very satisfied with these. While a bit prices the sound is excellent, pleased with the noise cancelling and customization of sound is great. I also like how the headphone senses when you are speaking or someone is speaking to you and changes modes.

Sony headphones

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise cancellation and audio quality. Really appreciate having these to cancel out the noise of machinery during my workday. The only negative is when in a phone call the receiver cannot understand me clearly.

Best Wireless Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to be obsessed with Beats. I had the Solo 2 & 3 and Studios 2 & 3. However, I tested these Sony recently and I am never going back to buy any new Beats ever again! These headphones are much better and I think these are the best at the moment.

Wanted these for Teams
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really wanted these for Teams use in the office, but they just don't handle switching between stereo audio and headset audio when going back and forth from Teams calls to videos or Spotify etc. My Bose 700 seems to handle the task just fine, so I'll just use those for calls and keep the Sony's at home for music, cause they do sound amazing. Definitely like the sound better than the Bose, it just feels more alive. I wish the app had more information in it regarding the different features and what all the different settings and modes were for. The noise cancelling seemed to be on par with the Bose for office use, but I didn't really like the 'speak to switch' feature, when singing along to Spotify it would pick up my voice and paused my music for 10 seconds. Couldn't seem to turn it off while keeping the additional features of noise cancelling. Very premium feel, love the color and the non-flashy styling.

Posted .Hi CrazyLefty, while we are glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality of the WH-1000XM4 , we are sorry to hear that you are having a hard time using them for office use specially on Teams. For this, please make sure that your device has a Bluetooth function that supports calling connections (HFP/HSP). Re-establish the connection between the source device and the headset.

Pretty good, but could use improvements
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad for my first pair of noise-canceling headphones. They are definitely a must for working from home. They're comfortable and do a good job of canceling out low- and mid-range ambient sound. But high-octave ambient sound is still fairly audible even with noise canceling turned on. All in all though, they suit my current needs, so I'm not upset with this purchase.

Really good value headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For 350$ these headphones have a great value for the sound and features it packs, for sure better than any headphones around this value, Bose 700 can’t compare to this at all. But if you “got money”, AirPods max is beyond this.
