Horrible Feedback After 1.5 Years of Use

They were great headphones while they lasted. Now they regularly have unbearably loud feedback noise in both ears. These have stat indoors at my work computer since I got them; they have been very well taken care of. I called support, and they would not replace them because the failure happened after one year. Do not expect these headphones to last!

Great headphones for traveling

Honestly overall these headphones are great. The sound quality is amazing almost too good. After a period of time of just getting them my ears slightly hurt just because of how good the bass is, but can be easily adjusted. Great fit, very comfortable. Best over ear headphones for the price.

Poor performance for what I wanted

I bought this two years ago for listening to music while I practice dancing with other music playing. What I found out is that this head set is very sensitive to movement and it will turn on or off if I cough, moving my head a bit quickly. If all you need is to walk around and listen to music, then it is OK. However, after about half an hour or so, I found the tight headset is very uncomfortable. I have now been using my old Panasonic wired headset which is much comfortable than this. The noise cancellation works and music listening is fine. However, if you want to wear it for running or dancing, then look for something else.

This thing is amazing!

OK, these Sony headsets are amazing, one thing that I found out about the sound quality it’s that this thing have studio sound quality, but you will not be able to hear it if you connect this device to your phone Bluetooth or PC Bluetooth only. these headsets have the capability to play lossless audio which is one of the best sounds system in the market, the bad news it’s that you will not be able to hear it with Spotify, you will need Apple Music on iPhone or TIDAL. when you play these headphones with lossless on iPhone, the different of sound quality it’s just out of this world. I never thought these headphones would sound like that, but again you will not be able to enjoy this sound quality playing YouTube videos or on Spotify. Th

Annoying metallic, rattling, or crackling noise

I bought this WH1000XM4 just for the work-from-home purpose. I hear a disturbing metallic, rattling, or crackling noise sound during Skype (audio) and Zoom (video) calls. Whenever someone is talking loud, it just irritates. I am not a music lover so I don't know about while playing music.

Noise cancellation Worked Well, Fragile...

These headphones worked as intended and I feel did a great job cancelling noise and worked great for music and online meetings for work which was my biggest use. However after two months they broke placing them on my head. No, I don't have a big head and I wasn't rough with them. They appear to have a weak spot in them. maybe they fixed this with the newer version. As you can see by the photo I had probably only put them on my head about 30 times.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT

This product was an excellent purchase on sale. They are probably worth the normal retail price. I was originally looking at the Bose product with similar features. I left it in my cart 1 day too long. When I went to purchase the Bose, they were no longer on sale but this Sony product was. I have been very happy with them, and they actually have more features than the Bose product.

Nice headphones, poor fit.

These seem nice enough, but because they were too big for my head, they sat on my head which was a bit heavy. I didn't care for the way every noise was amplified in that when it slid on my ear I could hear the sound of the foam shifting in the ear cup. That said, I'm VERY sensitive to sounds and have issues with noise cancellation because of hearing my breathing and things like that stress me out due to misophonia. I tried pushing them on my ears to see how soundproof they were and they were more adaptive than full sound off but again, this could do with proper fit. The sound quality was nice.

Terrible Voice-Overs

Headphones are technically competent but Sony will absolutely force you to listen to a human say "Power on" "power off" "Bluetooth device 1 connected" "Bluetooth device 2 disconnected". Noise-cancelling, except for all the noise it forces into your ears.

I LOVE these headphones!

Have these in blue and when I saw the sale I couldn’t resist the silver! I have always loved Sony for audio, all the way back to the wired days. I have some from 25 years ago that still work. That’s why I was confident in getting both pairs of this model. Great for flights, commute on public transportation and they even drowned out the loudest guy at my office (thank GOD!). I don’t see these getting replaced any time soon.
