Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the original version (Sony MDR-1000X), some 5 years ago but after hearing the current version (Sony WH-1000XM4), I had to have them. The technology has changed considerably and the sound quality/noise cancellation are much better.

Sony Headphone the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoyed this Sony headphone as the noice cancelling is great and it uses a usb-c cable. Also, the way it pauses the music when you talk is amazing. It does it automatically. I would definitely select these over the AirPods max.

Excellent sound

Posted .Hi Bobby,
We're glad that you like the sound quality and battery life of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you're experiencing delay or lag when watching movies. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games. Thanks for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony.

Tried and tested! Five Stars!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these as a gift for my husband a few years ago. He uses them at the gym, travel, and while doing some household chores. After extensive use, they broke. He was so happy and impressed by the quality of these headphones that he repurchased the same product again on his own! He can't be without them and didn't even want to bother testing out another brand.

Get the XM4s only if you don't have the XM3s alrea
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the XM4's because I lost my XM3's. No need to upgrade if you have the prior edition. There are new features that add some minor improvements but not really worth the extra $$. Gotta say the blue is slick! Hope Sony keeps this color way for the next installment.

Spectacular headphones, not so good shipping.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have no complaints when it comes to these headphones, except, the right bud will occasionally give-off staticy noise almost as if a person was blowing air into your right ear. This only happens when I have used ANC for long periods of time. Aside from the headphones, I strongly recommend not to purchase similar products from Best Buy, especially preorders! The only reason I decided to purchase my headphones on Best Buy, was because they promised my headphones would be shipped the 14th of August, a full four days before Amazon. Can you guess what happened? Shipping was delayed, and I could not cancel my order, despite my numerous attempts. They finally shipped FIVE DAYS LATER, and arrived that Friday. If I had simply ordered from Amazon, my headphones would have arrived a day earlier, Thursday. Best Buy, be honest with your customers. Don't lie to us, saying you'll get us our headphones earlier, when you cannot. We deserve better than that.

The bass is the smoothest I've ever heard, and I was not very picky, but I will never expect anything but the quality I get from these! Would have spent 500 easily
