    Not an audiophile by an any means, but the sound quality in my opinion is so nice! Comfort wise, I would say the band on top gets a little uncomfy after around an hour of wear.. I don’t tend to wear them for too long, but it would be something to consider if that relates to you. No worries regarding battery life, it holds up far longer than what’s expected in my opinion. Overall really nice, would recommend!

    Best Buy and Sony never disappoint. I’ve purchased the headphones for college but ended up using them for all of my audio needs. The noise cancellation feature allows me to remain focused and get my work done without distractions. From the gym to online classes to video gaming or streaming! This headset will be the first thing you grab and the last thing you’ll forget !

    I cannot rave about these enough. As someone with sensory sensitivities, these have been an absolute lifesaver. They are incredibly comfortable and block out an amazing amount of irritating noises and sounds. The sound quality through them is crystal clear and pristine. I wish they offered more color options! These are WORTH EVERY PENNY. Battery life is incredible on them too!

    So far the sound quality and battery life have been great. The headset is comfortable enough to wear all day and the microphone has been working great for all my meetings as well as phone calls. I haven't had them that long so I'm still figuring things out, but being able to connect to two devices and have it pause music on my laptop to answer a phone call has been a huge help while working from home. These are an expensive pair of headphones, but you definitely get what you pay for.

    Best headphones you will ever buy, top of the line audio, build quality is good but I would still handle with care considering they are mostly plastic. Charges fast and definitely last 30 hours without extreme mode and equalizer turned up. The pairing and the app are very simple and straight forward. Not bulky at all, on the slim side actually. Super comfortable, easy to wear for hours with little to no ear stress.

    The official price is very expensive but with the Black Friday price of $278, the value proposition is much improved. Having M2 and M3 myself, 1000XM4 is a much better version to previous models with improved noise-cancellation and more comfy to ears. Most importantly it can now simultaneously connected to two devices at once without the need to manually disconnect one to the another. Very satisfy with its performance, the touching mechanism is still annoying though.

    Got some lower quality noise cancelling headphones for Christmas (anker) but as more and more people came in the office the noise cancelling just couldn’t deal. So I did some research and after listening to co workers bose and Sonys (previous gen). I decided on the Sonys and waited for a deal to come along. Sound quality is excellent, and they are comfortable to wear. Sound reproduction is great and they are a lot more comfortable than my previous models. Features that I thought were gimmicky during initial research are actually quite nice. The music stopping when you remove the head phones or the gesture controls on the right ear, are actually super handy and make for a good experience. There is some stuff that might be useful to creatures of habit that i don’t use ie the location based settings in the Sony app. They are great headphones use the Sony app to customize to your taste and you will be happy. The case is super well built I don’t know if I will ever actually use the old two prong airline adapter but being able to use the headphones wired without a charge is a nice feature. Early in my career I worked a lot in live sound so wireless headphones were always kind of a convenient gimmick that sacrificed quality in the name of not being tied to something with a wire. These are excellent units that I use to block out the world at the office and join conference calls with excellent tool and appliance that I also enjoy.

    Amazing sound, mediocre to poor UX in other ways

    First, the good. The sound quality is incredible. ANC works great, audio sounds fantastic and crisp out of the box. Setup is simple (as long as you are using a single device; more on this in a moment) with either a phone or a computer. The headset is lightweight and easy to wear for hours at a time. Now the bad: The touch-sensitive buttons are bad. They regularly just didn't do anything. They're unintuitively designed and feel like a bargain-brand implementation of what is considered a high-end function. The headset mode vs headphone mode is also not great. There's no way to control side-tone in headset mode, which means that the great noise cancelling function is all but useless when using it as a headset (like meetings and phone calls). Also, not being able to turn the headset on while charging is ridiculous. I am an extremely heavy user (like 6-10 of active use per day), so charging while using is critical to me. Using the headset with multiple devices is great if those devices are computers, but terrible if one is a phone. If you get a phone call while using it on a computer, the phone call takes over (without the ability to override this that I am aware of). Then to reconnect to the computer the only way I've got it to work is to turn the headphone off and on again. When I'm in the middle of a meeting, this is not ideal. If you care about audio quality above all else, it's easy to recommend, but overall usability makes this difficult to recommend to most people, especially for the premium price.

    So far, so good. I wasnt sure about purchasing the Sony product as I've bought Bose for my other audio products, but I loke these very much. Bought online so didn't have ability to compare as i would in store. Sound quality is good and i loke being able to adjust on the equalizer. The controls are easy to use, as is the app. The noise canceling is very good, but found that when i dont want it on, it sometimes automatically comes on by itself. They are Fairly comfortable and I was able to use them on a four hour flights without issue. Battery life is awesome. Overall, happy with my purchase so far.
