Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sound Quality, Average Bass slightly above average

Good set of headphones. Had to purchase a new pair of headphones after my beats stopped working. Comfortable and sound is clear. Love the noise cancelling option.

Great sound, great battery life. No issues so far.

Amazing sound quality and perfect to use everyday.

I got them for my son to wear at the gym he was tired of his AirPods he says these are comfortable and he says they are better for what he wanted during workouts great sound quality and don’t slip off

Really good sound quality! Noise canceling is great on these as well, but might give you a headache if you are prone to motion sickness, (coming from personal experience). The only flaw is that the plastic casing that makes up the headband is not very durable, and cracked (due to my error).

I bought my Sony WH-XB091N headset on a Black Friday sale for $119.99. It has an excellent noise cancellation and ambient sound mode. Because it is wireless, it is great for traveling and exercising.

Saw this headphones on sale, and bought them as my first pair of ANC Sony headphones. And to get to the point of the review is this: Get the WH-1000xm4 if you have the money. Overall, these headphones are phenomenal. The bass is heavy and the noise isolation is very useful for the office with hearing small talk or that A/C noise. However, aesthetically speaking: the headband for some strange reason fits every wide on heads even if it’s closed up. If aesthetics is a concern to you, these headphones will look wide on your head if your hair is slicked back, or if you’re wearing a hat. I don’t know why Sony decided to design the headphones this way, but personally was an inconvenient decision based on fashion. The one thing I will say is that these almost sound similar to the 1000xm4. The xm4 have a bit of a heavier attack with the bass, but they sound similar. ANC is definitely better with xm4’s (obviously). Overall, if you’re on a budget and looking for your first pair of ANC Sony headphones to test out, these aren’t a bad choice. I recommend getting these on sale though if you can. But if you have the money to spend or consider upgrading in the long run (like myself): Get the 1000xm4.

At first site i thought i was going to like these. But howver my mind changed quickly once i had them for a 3 weeks Pros: - good to decent noise cancellation - i Like the color options - comes with case Cons: - bulky and weighted wearing over time even being light Hurt my head ! - no music app or calibrating tool for music to adjust the highs, mids and bass ....just have to use your music player on phone - cannot udjust volume to my liking - disconnected when changed apps and or players - adjusting headphones meant pusing unnecessary buttons at wrong times became frustrating! - who still uses sirrius xm much less will continue to pay for that ! - couldn't wait to return ...so disappointed.

I've had these over a year and there's still new features offered I'm learning about. These are great headphones. Great quality, plenty of features, great value, the list goes on.

Good for it's price in my opinion. However, if you want headphones that are really good at noise cancelling I would not recommend these. Instead get their other headphones that are recent. Other than that, it doesn't have a tight fit when worn & it has a good battery life.

These Over-The-Ear Headphones are AWESOME!!! Great speakers, Bass is incredible. The only issue is that when I use them at the gym the plastic ear covers become very uncomfortable, and sweaty. I wish Sony sold optional cloth covers for the Headphones. That's why I would rate the Earphones a 4 out of 5.

Before this purchase I returned several Headphones purchased from Amazon because of quality issues (would not power on). This Sony works great. Good noise cancelling, easy to connect to phone and change modes.

These are great headphones for the price. They don't have the best ANC, but the audio/bass are great. Very comfortable too. With that said...don't pay full price. Wait for a sale to make these well worth it.

Wow. I have been using these for about 2 weeks and have been very happy with my purchase. They are very comfortable, sitting not to heavy on top of my head while not compressing my ears either. Out of the box, they came 50% charged and I have not needed to plug them in yet. The active noise cancelling is very effective, canceling out all but the most sudden and loud noises. Pressing the right earphone or the large toggle will allow for a "passthrough" mode, enabling exterior mics to pass audio though. I have found this to lack a significant amount of low frequency pass through, but it's enough to hear surounding noises clearly. Listening to general audio, I have needed to tune the "extra bass" setting to -5 as it was a bit too agressive. However for music, especially electronic/ house, these have not stumbled over the heavy low ends while leaving the top end crisp enough. General rock and roll tracks have also sounded better than ever, giving the sound stage a much fuller feel.

Awesome headphones, the haptic touch on the outside is so convenient and very innovative, and the sound quality is easily in the top 3 audio brands, very good price and very good quality

Used them on flights to/from KC last weekend. Really should have bought these a long time ago. They provided alot of comfort and distraction from the ever-present din inside an airplane.

Exactly what i was looking for. The sound is great but the best part is the noise cancelling. When i'm wearing them I can't hear my wife yelling at me.

Best value for the price. A great balance of high, mid and low range allowing you to experience the full range of your music and not having one end drowning out the other.

It was for my brother. My brother is a IT professional. He use it everyday. Noise canceling system helps him to be concerned to his work. He loves it. And Sony keep their promises.
