The noise cancelling is great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound great delivering a rich sound for a phone in its price range. But the noise cancelling is top notch. Even without music playing it filters out most outside noise but when the music plays it is almost like being in an isolated room. The headphone battery life is long (I have gone 10hrs, off and on, on a single charge). The only ding I have against these headphones is that it plays a tone every time it automatically changes listening modes (indoors, outdoors, walking, sitting still etc) but this can be disabled in the settings. I would highly recommend these anyone who wants good sound combined with great noise cancellation.

Best looking headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a college student, I have used these headphones almost every day walking from class to class as well as studying. They have the best sound and bass you'll find in any other headphone and they also work extremely well when working out. My favorite thing about them is that they are stylish. A lot of other headphones stick out and look too big on your head but these are slim and work amazing.

Really, REALLY good.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about these headphones is awesome, not a single thing I would change. These paired with Tidal is a whole new listening experience. I'm not an audiophile by any means and didn't think I would notice any difference, but I did and it's lovely. I listen to all types of music and they have the bass for hip-hop and the highs for classical. I also use these for Teams calls on my laptop and everyone can hear me without issue, and of course I can hear them no problem. Last note is, I come from the Bose equivalent and can honestly say these are better. Which pains me to say about a US company but facts are facts.

Excellent quality, ideal for travellers
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, these have amazing sound quality! I tested them side by side with the XM5s and honestly I prefer these, for sound quality. The noise cancellation is good, maybe not as good as the XM5s but still much better than my in-ear buds-live. I used them for about 5-6 hours at airports and on planes and they handled airport and plane noises well, with a brief loss of cancellation during plane landings, so no big deal. The battery stayed almost fully charged too, so these guys are no joke, unbeatable for frequent flyers!

Great for frequent flyers
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Id be the first one to say that these headphones are expensive. However they are worth the money for the sound quality and sound deadening alone. I have to travel a lot for work and these have been added as a must have when packing. When turned on you can barely hear the hum of the engine of the plane. Screaming baby, no problem with these headsets. Sitting next to a constant burper or someone that clears their throats; no worries the headphones got you. Ultimately these headphones are worth every cent.

Sony quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rated one of the best for a reason. Great sound, and ANC. The Sony Headphone App offers plenty of customization. Lightweight and comfortable. The only issue I had was syncing Bluetooth to my Samsung TV. Lip sync was way off. Maybe it's my TV. Little pricey, but I bought it on sale.

Posted .Hi AudioPhool, Thank you so much for the 4-star rating! While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the noise cancelling and sound quality of the headphones, we are sorry to hear that you are having audio sync issues with the TV and the WH-1000XM4. The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Carl
Sony over the ear
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed something to replace AirPods that went over the ear. Great sound and paired with app makes for a better experience. Fit great and comfortable over the ear, have to get used to the noise cancellation but have worn for hours with no issues. Easy controls and cover to mute function is great

Great but still has a remaining flaw to fix
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are really nice and comfortable to wear and the audio quality is great. Noise cancellation is amazing however there's a flaw that seems to still be present from the last version of these XM3. They will be going back to the store and back to Sony. There's an issue where suddenly you start to hear wind noise in one or the other ear. I've seen people say it's moisture related (Just wearing them in the house doing desk work, no working out) and I've heard others say it's not. If you search for this issue online you'll find many others that have had this exact same issue. Either way I started getting this issue only a week into owning them and for the cost of these, I ended up returning to the store and will wait for something better to come along or if Sony is able to fix what is clearly a historical issue with the noise cancellation circuits. I REALLY wanted these to work. For comfort, sound quality, ease of use these all beat Sony's major competitor out there for noise cancellation headphones.

Great choice prev gen noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are comfortable on the ear, have excellent noise cancellation, and top sound quality when using Tidal Hi-Fi Plus listening. I give them a four-star rating because I can't get used to the touch sensitive controls and I still prefer physical buttons on the edge of an ear cup. Also they infrequently loose Bluetooth connection at random times, however I suspect his is my phone and not the headphones. They were a welcome upgrade from my older pair of Sony headphones with older USB-micro connection. Definitely worth the purchase when on sale.

Excellent. Pair them with your TV for Movies!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the first time I spend hundreds of dollars on headphones. Honestly I thought this was too much money for headphones but after 4 months now I think they are actually a steal for the quality of the sound, noise cancellation, battery, and all gestures the functions from the app. This headphones excel on every aspect. Both Spotify and Tidal sound great and I can hear notes and details on songs that I have never heard before. With that said, something great that I didn't expect is the movie sound quality. I paired these with my Sony Bravia TV and after that never used my home theater speakers again!
