Best overall!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned my surface 2 headphones because they couldn’t compete with the Sony’s. Sound quality and noise cancellation are unmatched. The only downside is that the app is a little complex in the beginning to learn but overall nice.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones. The design itself are so cool. I bought these for travel use and they do the job on the plane. I love these headphones. Only gripe I have with these is that wearing a mask and having these on my head tend to hurt my ears after while since the the mask is the over the ear style. Other then that these are great!

Love them
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality headphones. Very durable. They have fallen from high places due to my work environment. I work in construction, zero issue with the headphones. Truly love them. Just wish I could every once in awhile replace the padding or somehow clean them a little better since I do sweat a lot while I'm working.

Posted .Hi JIMaximo,
Great! We're thrilled to know that you like the sound quality, durable design, and overall performance of the headphones. Having read your review regarding the earpads replacement, while it is possible to replace the WH-1000XM4 earpads yourself, we recommend that you have them replaced by an Authorized Service Center. If you take care of your WH-1000XM4 headphones, they should last for several years. Please follow the link below for some tips on how to keep your Headphones in mint condition, and extend the life of your Headphones.
