New love
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My sister bought these a few months ago, and I became obsessed too! I usually buy the Apple Beats headphones, but these are so much better in every way— physically, functionally, and musically. Plus, the noise cancellation feature is absolutely OP. I got this headphone discounted and definitely worth the purchase. Only complaint is that the earmuffs are a little big, but I think it’s a small price to pay.

Absolutely unreal
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling alone just when you put them on your head while powered off is amazing. Turned on? Oh my goodness. Fired up the "Blade Runner" vinyl and quickly had my mind blown. The Sony Headphones app is great and easily allows you to connect to devices, update firmware, EQ and more. I would give this an extra star if I could.

Great Deal for great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these headphones are great. I got them on a black Friday deal. Although they are great, I would never pay retail on these or the XM5 or XM6. If you can get a deal, snag them.

A Worthy Investment!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! I use it to listen to music primarily when im winding down before bed. It pairs really fast and I really like how you can fine tune and adjust sound settings. The case is great too as it is durable and folds neatly inside the case. Perfect for travel too as it blocks out the outside noise with the noise cancelling feature. Uses USB-C charging which works great if you are an Apple user. These headphones are expensive but think of it as a worthy investment!

Love them!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! They noise cancel quite well, and of course, the quality is great. my only issues are that they fall off my head if i move back too much sometimes (but that might be because i have a small head lol) and they do leak noise at a certain volume. other than these minor issues, they’re great!!

Excellent all around
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. I had the originals and decided to upgrade to the Mk 4s. The noise cancellation is amazing. I can sit right next to a window air conditioner and hear nothing but silence. Sound quality is very good in most aspects. The bass is a little heavy at low volume and a little light at very high volumes, but overall it's still pleasing. The speak to talk feature is clever. And the ability to focus on voices and filter out other sounds works better than I expected. All in all, I'm pleased.

Love these
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these on sale for a great deal.. Amazing sound quality. My TV wouldn't turn up the volume high enough for my liking so I use an aux chord to my controller. I use the dolby atmos app on my Xbox and it really brought these headphones to life. It makes games and movies sound much more full and dynamic. Using them on my phone is flawless. Music sounds fantastic and podcast sound rich. The app is easy to use and I like that you can adjust the eq settings. The noise canceling works great too!

Simply the best
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the first generation MDR-1000X for nearly 4 years. It's finally the time to upgrade! The Mark 4 has excellent sound quality and NC capabilities. I love the multi-point function, which solved a long-standing pain point for the 1000X series and is perfect for working from home.

||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased these headphones. They sound good so far. But you are right in relation to the touch control. I'm not getting the pause when I double tap, that I do when I use my Bose in NC700s. However the volume up and the forward and reverse or should I say forward track and previous track. Does seem to work.

Posted .Hi JhonD,
Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear you like the sound quality of the Sony headphones. We do apologize for the inconvenience. The sensor of the touch sensor control panel is built into the flat surface of the right unit. Operate within the range of the sensor. When you swipe your finger forward/backward or up/down on the touch sensor control panel, the touch sensor control panel may not work correctly depending on the angle at which the headset is worn or the direction your head is facing. Also, the headset will not operate correctly when you operate the headset with your fingernail or a gloved hand. Remove your glove, and operate the headset with the ball of your finger.

Great headphones with Great Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, I’m pleased with these headphones. I caught them on sale shortly before Christmas. I have tested them on several occasions around the house, and the noise cancellation works great. The true test will be on my next flight. I purchased them primarily for air travel so it will filter out engine noise and chatter. The speak-to-chat feature is kinda annoying when conducting a phone call, but thankfully it can be deactivated.
