Sweet Ride, Mellow Music
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Listening to music with my new Sony- WH1000XM4 is more enjoyable. The notes from different instruments flows sweetly, so mellow. No in-flight entertainment on my flight but with my Sony headphone, the movie sounded like it was seen on a big screen theater. The plane's engine's noise unnoticeable.

Better made than Soundcore
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfortable and amazing sound quality. I used to have a pair of soundcore headphones that I used before these, but I needed a new pair since one of the headphones snapped off at work. These feel like they’re made a lot better, so even though they are expensive, they’re made nicely. I recommend them for sure!

Posted .Hi Reviewer2018,
We're glad that you like the sound quality, battery life, comfort, and noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback about the multipoint function is greatly appreciated. Depending on the device, silent streaming can continue on the first device when the second device has a Bluetooth connection to the headphones. If this is the case, the headphones remain connected to the first device, and the audio doesn't switch to the second device.
Follow these steps to hear sound from the second device:
1. Open the Sony | Headphones Connect app, select the System tab, and make sure the Connect to 2 devices simultaneously option is set to ON.
2. Stop playback on the first connected device.
3. Close the audio (music) application on the first connected device.

Amazingly Amazing Sounding Headphones!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are all they're cracked up to be on the amazing reviews online! Sony has the corner on the market with over the ear headphones in my opinion. I've had some Sony wired MDRV-6 headphones for decades and they're still making them as they're one of the most venerable pair on the market still today, running around 4 Bills to get them. These Sony-WH-1000XM4's are no slouch for Wireless Headphones! I'm truly amazed with the spatiality, accuracy, and noise-cancelling qualities of these headphones. When you add in the Sony 360 Reality recordings it's truly going to take you to a whole different level. Wanna feel like you're in the studio and looking in different directions for each musician... that's what 360 is about. Very much like a live performance. I'm using TIDAL for my online music choice after reading many reviews about different services. I'm TOTALLY happy with their quality as it never fails to amaze me with their sound and they offer the Sony 360 music too! I'm sold on these, and the only headsets that compare are my wired Sony MDRV-6's. I don't like to buy things twice as I like to get what I want the first time, and I'm very happy. You might pay a pretty penny for these, but they're worth every hard earned penny you spend!

Excellent, deep base; great noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones, super deep base, excellent noise cancellation. Really happy with this purchase and I find them to be better than more expensive BOSE options. Easy to pair with my iPhone and MacBook Pro. My only suggestion would be to use slightly nicer material to make it look and feels a bit more premium.

Xm3, but 30% better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really recommend reading xm3 reviews and decide: If you would pay 350 for the xm3 even thought those are cheaper, then totally buy the xm4. Xm4: - More comfortable - Usage detection - Like 5% better ANC - Speak to deactivate ANC - Better microphone - Connect to two bluetooth devices
