Solid headphones.

Bluetooth connection with multiple devices is unreliable at times. Audio doesn’t swap consistently when connected to laptops and my phone.

Oh my
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always been a Bose fan.. I have the latest NC 700s and love(d) em. Just for kicks I decided to try the Sony competition and it’s incredible how amazing they sound. I’ve only had em a couple days now, but I can already say that sound-wise they wipe the floor with my Bose NC 700s. Let’s just hope they last and I don’t have any connection issues like I’ve had with my Sony earbuds!

Best I've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't think headphones could get better than the XM3...but I was wrong. The noise cancelling in these headphones is unmatched. Additionally, you can connect two devices at the same time. This is great when I'm traveling because I can connect my phone and tablet at the same time rather than disconnecting one and connecting the other.

The best yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When Covid-19 occurred I shifted to remote working. I quickly found myself becoming agitated in response to the noise in my home. These headphones turn off the noise. Whether it’s my living room’s ac unit, the chatter of roommates, or the hum of my desktop, it all disappears when I place the XM4’s over my ears

Posted .Hi Miguel, good to know that these headphones are perfect for your lifestyle. Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music. The addition of Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 masterfully eliminates the noise around you. Listen all day with up to 30 hours of battery life. Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.
To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence.

Excellent Sound, but so so BT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is awesome. Then why only 3 star? Bluetooth connectivity is not stable - if you walk around it disconnects and even if you sit, it disconnects from Samsung TV and your show sound becomes distorted. From sound quality point of view, it is much better than Bose QC45 and Sony XM3. But if we consider Bluetooth connectivity, it is not as good as QC45.

Outstanding!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones produce the best sounding music I have ever heard coming from headphones. I would compare the quality of the sound to some of the best studio equipment out there. The noise cancellation is perfect. I’m not sure what else they could do to these to make them anymore perfect. They are totally worth the price. Definitely get what you paid for with these.
