Great noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best headphones ever! Just got off a flight sitting infront a crying infant and singing toddler and heard NONE OF IT! Noise canceling is so good, it's almost scary how silent it can get if not playing any audio.

Class leading noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the prior version WH-1000XM3 for about 18 months, and absolutely was amazed by the sound and noise cancellation, absolutely worth it for several flights. These have kept everything I loved about the prior units and, improved in a few small areas, such as multiple Bluetooth connection capability.

Outstanding
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding purchase, these have been the standard for a few years and perform as well as the newer XM-5 without a few of the bells and whistles. But at 1/2 the price.

Choose these
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are fantastic. I also have the xm3 so these are very similar. However, better range and they link to more than one source. Noise cancelation is great. If you are a fan of bose, go for those, if you are undecided between the two, these are amazing and have some neat touch response features!

Great upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones. I upgraded from the 3s and even though feature wise the changes aren’t drastic, it was enough to prompt me to buy these on sale. What really has me over the moon is that the ear cups are slightly larger than my older ones making them much comfier to wear.

Really nice.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound VERY nice. As usual with noise-cancelling headphones, the soundstage isn't very wide, but the tones all come through nice, even, and clear. I would say the noise cancelling sounds like having normal in-ear gummy earbuds, or putting your fingers in your ears.

Posted .Hi Myxo, thank you for the awesome review! We're glad you like the sound quality of your new headphones. If you haven’t already, download the Sony - Headphones Connect APP. This will give you the ability to fine tune your music using the built-in equalizer.

My Favorite Headphones

Travel? Hate noise? Get these!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you do a lot of traveling get these. The NC is top and the sound quality is great. Not audiophile quality, as your listening through Bluetooth. I haven't heard through a DAC yet. just enjoy tuning out the world on long flights. Mic for the phone is above average.

Great Headphones before they broke down
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was happy when I first got these headphones, great audio quality and the ability to connect to two sepearte sources if I wanted to was a plus. NFC Support was also something that mattered to me. I am also a fan of Flac audio and this with it's low compression blue tooth technology made it really stand out. Carrying case and proper cables also a plus. Now the reason I like to wait a few months before leaving reviews. This thing just won't hold a charge anymore. Originally I thought it was my power adapters, but it was like that on 3 different ones. I plugged it into my laptop straight usb C to usb C, started to charge, I unplugged it to check it's battery life, got to 90%, Plug it back in and it's refusing to charge again. Not acceptable for the price I paid for these. Only reason I upgraded from the previous generation was they got stolen out of my car. If you do buy these, I recommend the protection plan as it will save you from dealing with the manufacturer. I will be cashing mine in very soon!
