Ready to 1k+ hrs
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the feel of the new headphones. I had over 1000 hrs on my mx4 before the phyically broke. I look forward to just as much usage with these new ones. I mainly got these for multi connect bluetooth so I don't have to switch devices or take off the headset.

Fantastic headphones, but pricey.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfy, especially for long trips on an airplane. Fold flat for easy storage (as opposed to folding inward to create a more compact but blocky shape). Superb noise cancelling.

Sounds great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First over the ear headphones in awhile. My boyfriend has the earbuds, so figured I’d try the over ear ones. I bought this specifically for flights. I have sensitive ears & so pressure changes are really painful. I have to wear something to help adjust the pressure, so it also blocks alot of noise. These headphones have enough space so it's not smushing my ears. The sound cancellation is amazing. There is an equalizer app & such that you have to separately download. I debated between these, airpods max, & beats for awhile & I'm so glad I went with these.

great sound, decent build
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, awesome NC, and super lightweight. That said, the light construction is a byproduct of more plastic materials and the skimmer design has resulted in an inability to fold down the way it had. But the sound and the noise canceling continues to shine in this latest iteration of the WH series.
