Amazing Headset
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing! love the sound and i don’t have to live in fear of them falling out all the time like my airpods. Only thing that’s annoying is that sometimes ill stop my music on accident and that phone calls aren’t as clear as airpods

Pleased with this purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had originally purchased these noise cancelling headphones for my son in November as. birthday gift. He had complained that he was having a hard time hearing with his current earphones. I researched and Sony and Bose were the top picks. My son raved about them so much that for the holidays, I purchased one for my husband as well.

Wanted to love them
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really was excited about these headphones. I’ve had my Bose QC35-II headphones for a few years and looking for better sound quality and audio during phone calls. I will say that with the EQ settings available, the sound quality was much better than my Bose. However, I had lots of connectivity issues with my iPhone 11 Pro and my latest generation iPad Pro. It would frequently stop working in the middle of movies or music and would have to resync them. If that was all, I probably could have lived with it as I’m sure they will fix some of those issues in firmware. But, the call quality just wasn’t there. I always sounded hollow/electronic to the people I was speaking with. Maybe this will also be fixed in a firmware upgrade, but at $349 that’s just too much to hope that they fix it. I really like the look, sound quality and features of the Sony’s, but do r now I’ll head back to Bose for their updated version and hope that someday the Sony’s can get their firmware better.

Buy Yesterday.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony WH-1000XM4 are the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy. By keeping the sound as good as it always was to satisfy music lovers and adding some extra features tech heads wanted, Sony manages to keep its nose just in front of Bose, Bowers & Wilkins and Beats by Dr. Dre. There's nothing better in the world of headphones right now.

Old Sonys were better
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony is great. This model is not. Controls (sliding buttons) are hard to find while wearing. You have to remove from ears to hear someone talking because you cannot locate a pause or mute button. The noise cancelling is good, the sound if just OK. My old Sony earphones were better, but age took over quality. Next time, l will use immediately after purchase & return if like these.

Sony is 2nd to none!

The sound quality is superb, the app is good and the intuitive ability is pretty amazing. Well worth the purchase. I purchased the blue ones on the same day i purchased the black ones, for the grandson. He feels exactly like i do about this headset. Great job, Sony!

A travel must
