Some of the best over the ear at headphones

Great! Your loyalty is greatly appreciated. We're glad that you're enjoying these headphones. Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music.

Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.

Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.

The Best Noise Canceling Headphones I Own
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the WH-1000MX3 for about a year and a half and I can say that these WH-1000MX4 are not a huge leap from the previous model but still the best noise canceling headphone I own. It has a few new features from the previous model but if you can get the previous model on a good sale deal, then take it. These are great but wouldn't pass over the model 3 for them if I could get the model 3 at $250 or less because they are the same headphones with maybe a 10% difference. If both are the same price get the model 4 but if you can get a deal on the model 3, take it.
