Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are worth every penny. I got them on sale which is even better. They sound fantastic. The biggest benefit for purchasing these is the advertised industry leading noise canceling abilities. For once something lives up to the claim. They have been fantastic when used at the gym to cancel out the music played by the gym or the sound of the treadmill. Can't wait to try them when i mow my grass for the first time in the Spring.

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is great. Listened to a few over ear headphones and these were by far the best and most natural sounding. Full warm bass, but not overwhelming. Clear mids that weren't scooped out, and crispy highs. Flat EQ with these feels very natural. I haven't had luck with the "connect to two devices". It often caused more problems that it was worth, so I just re-pair with the new device. Takes 15 seconds but much easier than anything else.

Can't beat them
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressed with these compared to any of the bise or beats or Sennheiser cans out there. The only thing I will say is with light hair on the top of my head after a long while if wearing they can become uncomfortable but the sound is unmatched.

Marvelous/Enamored by these
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are on the fence about these get off it and get in the grass. These are terrific headphones, your music is meant for these type of headphones. I went through all the ear buds from Sony new ones(which are good but they hurt with the ear tips given) & Bose earbuds(which are the best on the market) these headphones are an instant grab & you wont regret these. Only thing that can possibly take away from these are the material is plastic but feel like air on your head.

Absolute Best
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones ever, for the price. The update to be able to connect to two different items is one of my fave “newests”. This is actually my second pair after not being the kindest to my first pair. I have autism and these headphones help massively for my sensory overload issues. I wear them constantly, especially with their 30 hour playback. I absolutely love my pair of headphones and never go anywhere without them.

Great for Music, not so great for meetings
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best at the price for music. Excellent sound quality that allows me to hear sounds I’ve never heard before in music, it truly allows you to enjoy the music and makes it almkst feel like you’re there. However, when it comes to calls and meetings, the microphone picks up every single sound which can be a little frustrating.

Sounds great w/ PlayStation 5 but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these to use w/ the PS5. While as of right now they will not sync up via Bluetooth they do plug in to the PS5 controller. They have an app you can put on your phone to customize the way they sound. 3D audio is amazing. You can hear an enemy’s breath. Birds in the distance. Phenomenal headphones! Maybe Sony could step up their game in the future and make these compatible for Bluetooth sync in a future PS5 update?... Hope they will anyway. The headphones are the best I’ve ever owned.

Even better than the mighty Bose 700
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Bose 700 headphones were having connectivity issues so I replaced them with the Sony WH-1000XM4. In my opinion, the Sony's are just as comfortable, seem to have better sound quality (especially with bass response), and slightly better noise cancellation...though I haven't tried out the various adaptive modes. Most importantly, they maintain a stable bluetooth connection to my devices.
