Fantastic headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony headphones are excellent overall. I previously had a pair of Bose, which are also excellent, but in a different way. The Bose have better noise cancelling, but the Sony headphones have better sound for music and are more comfortable to wear for extended periods.

Good but not great; I'd pick the Bose NR 700s
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but not great, as while these have an incredible battery life and good sound, they overheat the ears and don't feel comfortable for long periods. At least in my experience, the Bose 700s were the better choice when compared to these and even the AirPods Max. These improve the XM3 that came before them, but still have lesser call quality issues when using on Zoom/WebEx and the sound is a bit too boomy when compared to more accurate headphones that are priced similarly.

Posted .Hi esion, thank you so much for the 4-stars review. While we are glad you like the great sound quality and long-lasting battery life of these headphones, we are sorry if you feel uncomfortable wearing these headphones. The WH1000XM4 has a self-adjusting headband and soft cushioned earcups that cover the whole ear. You may try adjusting the headband slider so that they cover your ears. This will help give you more personalized comfort. Having unusually dry skin can store static electricity in humans. A large amount of static electricity in the body and having contact with electrical devices at the same time can cause stress on the device and/or on your body. You can avoid this from happening by wearing clothing of natural materials that can't store static electricity. For the call quality, these can be improved by updating its firmware to the latest version (2.0.7). The software includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.

A True Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far the best ANC I've ever used. Clean sound, a lot of modification options using the app, and great battery life. Great that the charging cable and a 3.5mm come in the carrying case. Only complaint so far is they can trap heat on my ears.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I have owned.

Awesome so far!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive only had these headphones for about two weeks, but I use them every day! I really like them— theyre comfortable, light, and have cool features. I downloaded the app that they recommended, and with that the headphones basically track my movement and adjust the noise cancellation accordingly. I think that is really neat!! The sound quality and the volumes are also really good. Also, I wish I paid attention more but these are NOT water resistant. Makes me nervous to wear them in the rain, but have been able to avoid that anyway!

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you first get them, they take 3 hours to charge. It is nice that there is a voice that says whether they are on or off if you don't want to look at the code of lights blinking at you. They are definitely grey. Silver to me implies some level of metallic color. They are just a matte grey. I got these cancel out bass music and domestic disputes from my obnoxious neighbors. They do a really great job doing that. There is a point at which they no longer cancel out the bass noise by merely being on without any additional audio being piped in. The case they come in is nice and hardy. Bluetooth pairing them with my phone was super easy. I would definitely buy these again. Would that they just came in more interesting colors than black and grey.

Better than expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Glad I purchased these headphones. First thing I noticed about them is that they are lighter than I expected but still good quality material and the sound quality is great especially with the different EQ settings. The noise cancellation and the acuracy with the touchpad features ambient sound control is impressive. The pressure on the earpads is not too bad and the earcups have a soft memorylike foam which is comfortable and doesn't seem to make my ears too hot after a while of wearing them. The optimizer does seem to help make the earcups feel a little more natural when wearing them. I got this as a gift for my other half and wanted to test it before giving it to him for Christmas. I'm honestly thinking of investing in a pair for myself. It also really helps with studying and writing reports when there is a lot of noise in the house. The 2 way pairing also seems to be useful when I'm on the phone and using my laptop at the same time and decreases the hassle of having to switch back and fourth as I have experienced with earbuds. The charging cable that came with it is a bit too short but can always use a longer cable so it's not a problem. It takes a bit to get used to the touchpad swiping motions but It didn't take me too long to find certain ways to swipe without much hassle. It also seems to have a good grip on my head as my head is pretty small but I'm glad i can move around and not feel like it's going to fall off. The mic quality seems to be good. However, if the headphones are in a certain angle such as if you were to lay down while on a call, it seems muffled but headphones aren't really meant to be used when laying down so it's not too much of an issue. Otherwise, I think these headphones were worth purchasing so far. I also love how it comes with a hardshell case to carry the foldable headphones and the different cables that come with it which is an extra plus.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter wanted one and then I bought one about a week later. Yes they are expensive hence why the best buy credit card came in handy. I have always been a Bose kinda girl and never even tried Sony. EVER! I am not even a fan of the look but I am taking continuing education at the college and I like to study in the campus center and that place is so loud. The students are always yelling and while the amount of people help me stay focused the noise does not. These headphones are amazing they knock out all the noise. The really fun part is when you go to talk the music stops and you can hear the other people without having to remove them
