Love them!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So soft and sound is amazing! Noise canceling is perfect! Wish they were a little more snug. I have a small head and they can be a little loose for me. Mostly just if I lower my head.

Best Wireless Headphones for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wireless Headphones can get a bad wrap from audiophiles, but the Sony WH-1000XM4's simply have the best all-around value of any wireless headphone on the market. They are comfortable, convenient, reliable, sound great, and have a great warranty. On top of that, they have a great app which allows you to customize your sound and enable/disable various settings like Speak-to-Chat.

Buy these, you won't regret it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these headphones. Purchased a few goodies over the holiday sale period, and these are by far our favorite. Outperform our BOSE headphones, AirPod Pros, and Jabra Elite 85Ts (yes, I know these are not earbuds). The crazy good battery life, excellent spatial/3D/360 sound through Amazon Music, makes these an even better deal. Easily 20+ hours on a single charge. Buy them, you won't regret it.

Sony
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality, not as much low end bass as I would expect. But the noise cancelling, and new features of talk to chat, auto pause when you take them off your head and new options in the app really are an upgrade. Battery lasts me about three full work days so I’d say about 30 hour runtime is an accurate number. Overall fit and finish are incredible and far more robust in design and pretty durable than some of the competitors.

Absolutely Outstanding— But Pricey
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To start, I want to say that I bought these headphones as a splurge and although I cut audio at some points professionally, I am not an audiophile. I bought these to watch movies, use on the regular for editing/cutting video, listening to music, etc. they were definitely expensive and although I bought them on sale for approximately $50 off, I don’t feel like I can safely justify a splurge like this. The pause/skip sensors on the outside are a bit finicky, I absolutely love the sound, and they are extremely comfortable. I also wear glasses, have piercings on my ears and had zero issues with discomfort of any kind. If you’re able to get past the price, I cannot recommend these enough.

WOW! First set of nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never owned any headphones/headset that cost more than $100 until now. I've known for years from co-workers/friends and experience that Sony and Bose are the main names in the audio game. This headset consistently ranks higher than the Bose and they do not disappoint. I Love these headphones. Comfy. ANC works amazing. Use them on my iPad or iPhone without issue. The app is nice as well. Worth the holiday purchase 100%

Drown out the noise
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My best friends have this headphones, and i saw them use it during our flight, so that’s what really influenced me to get these. The fact that it was already blocked out any noise just by putting it on, had me really impressed. It took me a little to play around with the settings and whatno, but this was by far one of the best purchases i’ve made!

Great ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just purchased these to go along with my AirPods Pro as I wanted an over the ear headphone. So far the sound quality and comfort have been exactly as expected. Still waiting to see how I feel about battery life because it’s not holding a charge as long as I thought it would. I have used a total of probably 5-6 hours and went from 100% to 30% in that time. I couldn’t justify the price of the AirPods Max and so far I have not been disappointed with my purchase.

bought for college daughter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter said she was going to go deaf trying to tune out students with her earbuds. She likes to study in the campus center and that is where it is loudest. She said she had the music all the way up and still couldn't hear. She is so Happy with her headphones now. She wears them around her neck all the time I guess its now part of her aesthetic. I like it better because when I call her I can actually hear what she is saying. I couldn't hear the background noise like I had in the past. I love the part when I go to speak to her when she is wearing her headphones because the moment she starts talking the music stops. Now I know for sure she is listening! Definitely a win for me for anyone who has been ignored by a game playing child. The battery life is nice as well and she normally charges when she sleeps for the next day but they don't need to be. If she forgets they are still good for the next day. She loves the sound and music is her life so definitely worth the money to see her happy.

nice
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones. I have had them for two years now and they are still going strong. Only issue is that the feature where the music stops playing when I take my headset off no longer works. I also wish you could connect to three devices at once since I use my laptop, tablet, and phone while working. The app also sucks but other than that the headphones themselves are nice. The XM5 model are more comfortable, if you wear glasses I would get those.
