Simply the best hands dwon
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve tried many headphones and these are by far the most comfortable and have the best noise canceling aside from the apple airpods max, but the airpods max are too heavy in my opinion and too expensive.

Highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are quite comfortable. Have not yet tried them on an airplane, but should be nice and quiet. Sound is very good. Can do a number of things; I have yet to learn them all, but they appear to be quite logical. Worthwhile purchase for traveling.

Sony - WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-t
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these during the Black Friday deals and I do not regret my decision. The active noise cancellation is excellent, the sound quality is great, and the comfort when using these headphones has been great so far but they do get a bit uncomfortable if listening for a long time.

Posted .Hi iphone12user,
You made the right choice! Intelligent and intuitive, the WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. Meanwhile, the Equalizer lets you customize sound levels to suit your music.
You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage.
Sony takes feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!

JUST DO IT ALREADY
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned the Bose NC 700 for these... After using both for about 2 weeks 8 hours a day for work, I can confidently give my results.... BOSE had the better NC and phone call quality... However, Sony wins on every other aspect you can imagine... Sound quality is substantially better with music and voices in general.. Not to mention you can also adjust the frequencies to your own liking.. The app is a little weird and not every feature is fully explained on the Sony headphones, but I am so glad I got them.. There are already a lot of lengthy reviews but basically between these two, I would go sony every time.. Noise cancelling is amazing but just not quite up to par with bose in my opinion.. There are different reviews stating otherwise but IN AN OFFICE SETTING, I can hear my keyboard when I type having the sony headphones on.. With BOSE, I could not hear my keyboard... However I keep hearing sony blocks more overall frequency but I have just not been in the situation to compare.

Sounds great !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound fantastic. They are quite comfortable, although I do notice a little tension in my neck and behind my ears sometimes if I have them on for more than a couple hours. They feel nice, great quality and sleek, matte black. I would definitely recommend these !

SONY Noise-Cancelling HEADPHONES
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best for the money. I was in flight with a person using these headphones and I asked about them. He said that the SONY were the best. I went to Best Buy and tried Beats, Bose, and others and when I put on the Sony I could not believe the difference. I see so many on the Plane with Bose and think they just went with a name. Listen for yourself and you will agree SONY is the BEST.

Super comfortable, no ear fatigue. Sound is great! Only thing keeping this from 5 stars is they fit a little too loose for certain gym movements.
