Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using these for over 2 months now. I really can't find anything that I could report as an issue that can't be fixed by changing a setting. I do notice the headband does adjust a bit too easy and sometimes doesn't hold in the fully closed position. Not a big deal since I've got such a big head, I pull them out all the way. These have performed flawlessly from day one. The sound is crisp and clear. Bass is there and my favorite bass song can be played and hear them low lows. The ANC is perfect. I work as a programmer on a noisy production floor so the noise cancel is needed! I can also continue to talk to others while wearing them. Just pause my music and can carry on a conversation with no issues. I can hear better if I remove them, but most of the time I don't need to. I love how I can connect them to both my phone and laptop at the same time. If I get a call, the music or video (playing on the laptop) pauses so I can answer then restarts when then call is done. I haven't really pushed the battery time. I'll use them for 9+ hours (with ANC on all day) then plug them in overnight at my desk. I usually have about 70% battery left at this point. I would highly recommend these if you are looking for some very nice wireless headphones.

I’m an idiot but these headphones are amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Funny story about how good these headphones are…and what an idiot I am. First, the sound is incredible. Connectivity is great with about 50-60 ft range. Connecting to two devices simultaneously switches flawlessly and intuitively(pauses sound from one device for incoming call on other device). Battery life is endless. Sound cancelling on and volume at 70-80% volume for 7-8 hours and only battery only dropped 20%. Ok, to tell on myself…I’ve been sitting at the correct gate (Phoenix airport) this evening for over 2 hours watching the boarding time every 15 minutes. The second hour I am literally sitting in front of the ticketing booth with these headphones on and I missed the call to board the plane because I never heard the announcement(and no I couldn’t see the boarding area from where I was sitting). All I’m saying is that I’m an idiot but the sound cancelling is amazing and has to be pretty close to what I would imagine being in a deprivation tank would sound like. Without a doubt the best headphone purchase I’ve ever made.

Sony WH10000XM4 headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing set of headphones for the price. The sound quality is really good, and the noice cancelling is second to none. It's very comfortable to wear especially for long hours, and does not hurt your ears like other headphones after a while. The Sony app is also pretty good with plenty of features that you can adjust on your headset. Battery lasts a very long time and getting close to 28-35 hours of battery life and it charges fairly fast too. Also the headset connects really easy to your device unlike other headsets which can get finicky trying to connect to it via bluetooth. The case that it comes with is very nice, sleek, and minimalistic.

10/10 Quality Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had these for about a year and I never leave the house without them. Noise cancelling is great when I am trying to focus on a task or listening to music. The ambient sound is also great when I need to more aware of my surroundings. Overall really great pair of headphones. The battery life is also great and can last a decent amount of time before a charge is needed.

Wayyy better than Apples Airpods Maxs!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried out Apples Maxs and even though i am an Apple user through and through, these headphones are much lighter and the sound quality is more crisp and clearer! The Airpod Maxs though are better when it comes to noise cancellation. Just by a little. I don’t mind though since the Sonys makes up for that in every other way possible. I have worn these headphones over 6 hours straight for work and it did not once give me a headache or feel one bit uncomfortable. The best part about these is the amazing battery life. I have yet to charge them again since after the first charge. Its been like 2 weeks of daily usage and im at 40%! Thats wild!

Sony - WH1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a gift from my spouse, and they are amazing. They cancel out any noise. When I am busy cleaning, I play music and when I speak the music automatically stops and the noise cancelling changes. I just need to tap on the right side of the headphones for the music to start again or wait until the outside noise stops and it will start again on its own. This is a great feature because my hands may be covered in cleaning materials, and I do not wish to touch my headphones but want my music to continue playing when I am done talking. The battery seems like it last forever and the headphones are very comfortable.

Wireless BOOM!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As one not normally discount the quality of Bluetooth over wired headsets, I have to say that these pack a major punch! Bass is incredible, the highs and mids are phenonimal. 28-30hr battery make them great fro travel. Using noise cancelling on my last flight - I couldnt hear a thing aside from my music - and no one could hear what I was playing. The app is nice and has an equalizer. One perk is an option to turn on voice assist, which can turn off noise cancelling if you get a call/start talking. 10/0 would reccomend!

Excellent Noise Cancellation and 360 Reality Audio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its definitely worth buy, i already have Bose 700 , and it does pretty good job on NC but music signature is pretty normal and lacking Bass. Pros of Sony - Excellent NC - Switching Ambient Control based on Status - 360 Reality Audio is excellent. - Music is really balanced. - Has EQ to adjust music based on signature - Very good battery life compared to Bose - Cushion Ear cup are pretty comfortable and soft - Bluetooth connection seamless between iphone or Sony Music Connect App - Also it comes with stat where you can see your headphone usage - Touch sensor are good but could be better - You can adjust ambient noise just covering Right Ear cup while speaking, it will then allow noises in , reduces music sound Cons - Noise Cancelations is pretty Good but Outside I think Bose is better with little more points. But I would say 100 NC is not also advisable during transit. - Touch sensor is responsive but could be more efficient Overall I would give 8.5/10 based on Build , Music Quality features, NC Bose 700 - 7/10

Compare favorably to Airpods Max
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down best wireless ANC around IMO. Lots of great features, sound & noice cancelling. Compares favorably, IMO to Airpods Max even if evenly priced, which of course they’re not (these are 50% less). These are very comfortable, much lighter on your head than Airpods Max which gave me a headache. Sound quality very similar. Noise cancelling very similar. Not as good ambient sound. Can connect to two devices simultaneously (i.e. TV & iPhone at same time) 30+ hours listening time vs 20 from Airpods Max. Includes aux cable & hard travel case. Airpods Max do not include aux cable & it’s case is flimsy & annoyingly required to keep headphones at low power state. Sony’s charge via USB C. Airpods Max do not, insisting on Lightning cable. I prefer Sony’s over Airpods Max & think they’re the best bluetooth noise cancelling headphones on the market today.

Great value. Excellent sound.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones provide excellent sound and spatialization. They are comfortable enough but be aware that they can get warm because they are closed headphones with no cooling air circulation. However since that didn't really bother me personally I did not deduct a star. Pricing was decent and I have had great experience with Sony products in general. Lastly, this is the second pair I purchased. The first was for me and the second for my adult son. We are both very pleased.

But the noise cancelling customisation is top tier. They are very comfy and the fact there is an option to connect these to a 3.5mm jack makes these absolutely the best. I have only charged these like 2 times in the last year. They have great battery life and the standby time is also amazing

Greatest noise cancelling headphones out there!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise cancelling and sound quality in the business that I have heard. I work in a noisy machine shop and this will kill the drone and angry screeching sounds of metal being cut. Helps me concentrate on my work and also tune out my sons video games or youtube at home. Very comfortable and battery life has been great. The EQ with the app along with adaptive listening settings gps tag your locations to dial in correct amount of ambient noise or full noise cancelling depending on how you register the location. For example at work I use full noise cancelling, walking, i set to wind reduction, home some ambient noise depending how loud my son is blasting youtube in the living room. Also has a feature that when you start talking it cuts noise cancelling while you can conversate with someone then it will resume music or movie after you stop talking for a bit or double tap right ear phone to resume play. Have to give a great big thanks to love of my life my wife who bought me these for our 15th anniversary.
