My XM400.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Behaves just as I want it to be. When I talk the music stops and then it starts again! Amazing! The comfort is so amazing - doesn’t hurt my ear even though I have been using it for over 3 hours. I am very impressed by the look - simple and elegant.

The features are actually good!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was between this and a set of Bose headphones, and for the price these were at during purchase, the amount of features were hard to say no to. In store, Bose seemed more comfortable, but I adapted to these very quickly and love them. I can wear them for hours on end and not hear my husband be loud when he games :).

Can’t go wrong with these!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was either these Sony or the Bose 700s. I took forever to decide and I looked at a bunch of reviews, and in the end I chose the Sonys. I was leaning towards the Bose and almost got them... My good friend chose the Bose that same day and honestly, it is a matter of preference because they are both great! I chose these because of the little features, like how you can put your right hand over the right earphone, and it pauses and turns off the noise cancelling so that you can hear around you. That feature has come in handy so many times. The noise cancelling is great. Although I like the Bose design and look, these look good too. Just by looking at these headphones, you can tell that you don’t accidentally buy these! I highly recommend.

We are thrilled to hear that your WH-1000XM4s have been such a reliable companion for both school and the gym over the last four months! It’s great to know the 30-hour battery life is holding up for your busy schedule; if you ever do find yourself running low, remember that just 10 minutes of charging can give you up to 5 hours of playback.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Amazing Product!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned a set of the previous generation in time for this new addition. While I've yet to utilize all functions of this, I can say that what it sells you on (Battery life, ANC - Active Noise Cancelling) and built in assistant (Alexa/Google Assist), it does amazingly well. The promise of dual connectivity will help greatly from the work from home life. Toggling between Videos on one device (laptop) and an incoming phone call (cell phone) is seamless to the point that (dual connectivity) it happens immediately and reverts back to what you were doing. Very impressed but it's not a must, more so a huge bonus. Plus a user like myself who is an active traveler will utilize both the promise of cancelling surrounding noises while enjoying music.

These are the good ones.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lightweight, well documented controls, fantastic noise cancelling and battery life good enough that you can forget to charge it for days. Fantastically packed with features that make it a daily driver for the home office. Even though it has the drawbacks of bluetooth when it comes to sound quality, I barely notice with this headset. Only thing I could pick at is that the inbuilt microphone could be a little better, which might make the ambient sound function more bearable.

Better than Beats. Perfect for multitasking.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for work. I can have these synced to my laptop while I work but switch over to take a call on my cell with just a double tap on the ear. Comfortable enough and long battery to wear all day. Noise cancellation is great. I even took a nap with them on and it was complete silence lol (I live in NYC by a hospital) Better than Beats by far I think. Programmable features on the app as well is great to customize function. Speak to chat feature is cool too. The AUX port option is great for watching inflight movies during flights because we all know the ones they give out are terrible.

Quiet Ears = Quiet Kids
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a direct correlation between how noise cancelling my kids headphones are - and how noisy they are to others. This keeps the noise in both them and their ears

Hype is real!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When the XM3 came out I had a trip planned for Florida and from Seattle to Florida direct is roughly 6 hr flight. Was looking for headphones that had noise canceling, was stuck between the Bose and XM3. Choose the Bose and was happy. Fast forward, heard the XM4 would have features the previous one lacked and pre ordered and I can say I’m more happy with these than when I got the Bose when I got them. The Sound quality is so much better, and these are more comfortable to my head. The only complaint I have as of this moment is on a rare occasion when I want to hear a voice message on Apple messages the headphones don’t recognize is and won’t swap to that Audio source. I’m looking forward to using these on my upcoming flight in October!

The best headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality of these headphones are very breathtaking. You can hear the bass flow through your heart with every beat. Another thing, the noise cancellation is very outstanding. You can't hear absolutely anything with these headphones which is very amazing if you're in a public space. Overall very amazing on every aspect. They won't let you down.
