Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice headphones that everyone recommends. I like them, with a pretty design, and they never catch my hair, which most headsets do. The only issue is that they leak sound; other people can hear it pretty loudly from a distance.

Posted .Hi Phoebe,
It's a true pleasure to hear you find the Sony WH-1000XM4 to be an attractive and popular choice, and we especially appreciate you mentioning the comfortable design that prevents tangling. We understand your point about the audio being audible to others nearby. While the earcups are designed to contain sound, ensuring a proper, secure seal around the ear can sometimes help minimize the distance that sound travels from the headphones.
Thank you for your comprehensive review and for selecting Sony!
Regards,
Dominick

Pricey but worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for back to school since I’m a college student and I need something that is noise cancellation and has long lasting battery. I use it to listen to recorded lectures as well as music when studying. I guess the only con I have is that I still can’t figure out how to connect it to both my laptop and iPhone and be able to make an easy transition from either devices.

Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best noise canceling that I have ever had. They are comfortable to wear for extended time and sound great. The app to control them could use some improvement. My Beats Studio 3 headphones work more seamlessly with iPhone but aren’t as comfortable to wear.

No brainer upgrade from XM2
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very noticeable improvement in the noise cancelling over the XM2 model. Also like the quicker charging AND the fact that they feel the same but are nearly an ounce lighter than the XM2. Definitely worth the upgrade. Probably wouldn't upgrade from the XM3 though.

Best wireless NC headphones 2020
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is crazy good and they sound good for what they are, not up to the level of Sony's audiophile grade headphones but they still sound pretty clean and are enjoyable to listen to. They're pretty comfortable aswell and have a good battery life.

XM4's are great! (If cash isn't an issue)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely incredible headset! Separates instruments well, can handle some bass, great and full sound, very good noise canceling. Noise canceling is best when playing a little higher than 50% volume, and truly helps you disconnect a little bit.
