Great!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gifted these headphones for Christmas. My fiancee loves them. The sound quality is great, even when listening to lower quality audio. Super easy to use right out of the box. No problem connecting these to her phone at all. The noise canceling feature is also high quality and we cannot hear anything outside the headphones when using it.

Excellent sound amazing weight!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound. Not what yoU would get with wired headphones at the same price level but for Bluetooth headphones they are excellent. I did compare them against apple max and overall preference the sound of Sony, plus Sony you can customize easily (at least on mobile’s devices). There are a number of minuses all linked to software implementation : if you connect to 2 devices simultaneously you significantly cut the range of the connection and that silly speak-to-chat feature keeps enabling itself no matter how many times you turn it off. Apple max definitely switches from device to device much easier at least in apple ecosystem.

Buy em
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best mainstream noise cancelling line -- all of the WH1000s -- out there right now. It takes a little tinkering in the app to get the perfect EQ settings but otherwise these are amazing. I think I spend more time with them on than with them off during my waking hours

Headband too hard again
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good headphones. They sound AMAZING and feel really nice and light. The reason i returned them is because of the headband. Its too hard and gives me a headache after only 30 minutes. I do not know why they don't add softer padding on top like they did on the XM2 and XM3 anymore. If the headband doesn't bother you, I can recommend these on sale or refurbished and save the money

Great Headphones! Worth it?
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for just under 350 with tax during the sale. I had been wanting a pair of overhead headphones that would cover my ears (to not disturb piercings). Really love the battery life on them plus they charge super quickly. Would recommend, I've never really tried noice canceling headphones before so I'm not sure if they are a "good deal" but I love my pair.

Exactly What $400 Headphones Should Be
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's everything a good pair of headphones should be. The materials are sturdy, but comfortable and light on the head, the sound quality is stellar and the noise cancelling works phenomenally! The app gives you a lot of customization for the sound, including level of noise cancelling and an equalizer. It's an expensive electronic that is worth as much as it costs!

What the!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing… the controls to skip, pause, etc., are very easy to learn. My one complaint is that the charger is too short. Skimping out on length!?! Haha, not a big deal. Also, incredibly light! Placed my headphones in my case before work, and after work, I lifted up my case and thought my headphones weren’t in there. Turns out they were.
