Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones. The noise cancelation is great. There are many small features that I like. Music sounds good and volume is varied. Battery life is great i use them many times in a day and only have to charge like once a week. One downside they do not connect with my Microsoft Go3 and you have to download an app to connect the headphones.

Very good over all
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re an audio file, you’re not going to be blown away by these wireless headphones. But for general listening they’re pretty good. I pair them with my TV for video games and I use them with my phone to play music. The audio quality is very good. My only complaint in that realm is that the volume doesn’t get quite loud enough for my taste. I had the old version and they got very hot. These have the same issue. If you’re going to wear them for video games after an hour or so they get pretty sweaty. There seriously lacking in the looks department but that’s not a dealbreaker

Wowza!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a Christmas gift for our 16 year old son. He actually asked for a different brand that was cheaper, but they didn’t have them in stock. These were a step up and we got a "No way! These are the best! I never thought I would get these! These are awesome! Thanks mom, thanks dad!" I would say we made a good choice. I'll have to admit...they are pretty sweet, from the comfortable ear pads to the noise cancelling to the fantastic sound to the capabilities of answering your phone. Great product!

Best wireless noise canceling headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best wireless, noise cancelling headphones out there! I have the new Bose noise canceling headphones and the new AirPod Pros as well. I would rank these Sony headphones slightly above the Bose and the Apple AirPod Pros last. The Sony’s switch back and forth between your devices flawlessly and no other headset does that effectively. Sound wise, they’re just as good as the other 2 and have the best bass. You can’t go wrong with these!

Best over ear headphones I’ve tried
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely my fave over ear headphones. It’s so comfortable to use for long periods of time. The sound quality is amazing. The controls are 50/50, the volume is controlled my sliding your finger up or down and waiting to see if you did it correctly, which I don’t like. But there are actual buttons to turn it on or off as well as to toggle between ambient sound off and on or noise cancellation on. It also connects to 2 devices at the same time allowing you to switch between devices without reconnecting Bluetooth each time. One thing I found annoying is if you accidentally brush your arm or whatever against the volume side earmuff, you’ll trigger its action by lowering or raising its volume. Also the noise cancellation is just ok, it could be better but it’s still really good.

Great quality and features
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality (once you customize in the app - Not great out of the box). Excellent Noise cancellation Nice range, nice battery life, great features, better than Bose 700 headphones. But, my requirement was to connect to three devices and two at the same time (ipad and iphone) and want to switch seamlessly when a call comes while watching movie in ipad. Sony WH-1000XM4 doesn't do that (Bose 700 does that well). So, I had to return it. I tried Bose Studio 3, which is not even comparable to this Sony in noise cancellation. I am sticking with my Bose

Newly found love
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the noise canceling and ambient option when someone is speaking to you. The side of the headphones is a control panel and it is super easy to use! The battery life also last a while and I’m a frequent user. If you’re looking for something loud with quality? These are it! Note: just turn the speak option off if you’re a singer because your headphones will think your talking to someone

Beyond Impressive
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Started enjoying right out of the box. Have owned Bose noise cancelling, JLab in ear, Apple wired and in-ear wireless. When it comes to hearing all the nuances of just music, these are hands down my fave. So many options that it takes a little time to learn all it will do. Gotta tackle dealing with "Alexa" smart home devices next. My first time with a Sony product and looking forward to many more. Long life between charges - a huge plus. Don't buy anything until you try these. Highly recommend them.

Great so far
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm by no means an audiophile, but I think they sound as good if not better than Bose QuietComfort IIs. The deciding factor, though was the battery life. They advertise 30 hours, and I've found it to be a bit conservative. At medium volume I'm able to get 32-35 hours per charge. The call quality is also very good. I work in some noisy areas and according to the folks I'm talking to the audio quality is quite good. Better than my plantronics voyager. These are pretty expensive, but if the battery life holds up it'll be worth every penny
