The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I swear by these headphones. I'm really bad at taking care of things, i've thrown these around so much especially since I work in a warehouse and move around so much they've definitely hit the ground a lot. I needed these because everything is so loud I rather listen to music. Plus they get really dirty so i wipe them cleaned every night and they still work through everything I put them through! The best part is the battery life I always get surprised when they tell me theyre going to die because it seems like I hardly charge them lol. If they ever stop working im pretty sure i'd just but another pair of these.

Great sound and battery life
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and battery life seems good even after over a year of daily use. Wish I would have gone up to next model where you can connect to 2 Bluetooth and switch between. Only complaints are that when charging and using 3.5mm jack there is some feedback, and the rest pieces didn't allow much breathing for long use.

Hurt my head
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are pretty good. Good sound quality, work well with teams, etc. I returned them because of the fit. I wear headphones all day for work and these caused pain on the top of my head due to the shape. I don’t get this with the Bose quiet comfort or hyperx gaming headset.

Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice headphones that everyone recommends. I like them, with a pretty design, and they never catch my hair, which most headsets do. The only issue is that they leak sound; other people can hear it pretty loudly from a distance.

Posted .Hi Phoebe,
It's a true pleasure to hear you find the Sony WH-1000XM4 to be an attractive and popular choice, and we especially appreciate you mentioning the comfortable design that prevents tangling. We understand your point about the audio being audible to others nearby. While the earcups are designed to contain sound, ensuring a proper, secure seal around the ear can sometimes help minimize the distance that sound travels from the headphones.
Thank you for your comprehensive review and for selecting Sony!

Great headphones for TV.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these for TV viewing only. I cannot speak as too music sound quality. I will say that comfort is excellent. Build quality is excellent. Noise canceling is the best I have experienced in headphones over the past 10 years. TV pairing with LG OLED is instant about 90% of the time.

Excellent sound all around
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are absolutely stunning in just about every aspect. The case is of very high quality and has a convenient mesh pocket on the outside. The headphones fold very nicely into the case. One small gripe is the two small cords (3.5mm and charger that's very very short) that come in the case tend to want to go out of their little section once you take them out. But they do fit in well. The build quality of the headphones is fantastic and they look beautiful. I'm very impressed with all it's features. The app that comes with it is easy to use and allows further customization. The noise cancelling is the best I've ever experienced and can be turned all the way up or down with the app. The sound quality is the best part of these and is truly very good. They perform well with any type of sound and I use these as opposed to my pixelbuds when I want a much more immersive sound experience. I highly recommend these noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones.

Best over hear headphones out there.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Watched a ton of reviews on The best over ear headphones. I even went into Best Buy and tried them on. The sound and comfort of these were slightly better than the competition, and were cheaper, especially compared to the apple maxs. The noise canceling is amazing too
