One of the best over-ear wireless BT headsets
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned Bose QC 35 IIs, but I'm happy to be back in the Sony Eco-system. The ear cups are very comfortable and can be worn for hours at a time with minimal discomfort. A lot of convenient features such as the touch gestures, USB-C charging, and "hand over right earcup to talk to people" make this headset one of my favorite. The sound quality is on-par with the Bose, and I think the headband is more comfortable.

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.

Posted .Hi OctavioV,
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying the excellent noise cancellation, sound, and battery life of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. A key feature that makes their noise cancellation so effective is the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, which works in real-time to analyze and process noise signals over 700 times per second. This allows the headphones to block out a wider range of high and mid-frequency sounds, giving you a truly immersive and distraction-free listening experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!

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.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the price drop since the release of the XM5, these are a great value. Battery life was exactly as advertised, and maybe longer if not using bluetooth. Noise cancelling performance was great, although I don't have experience with the current XM5, so I can't compare.
