Posted .Hi LandonBP, we're glad you like the sound quality, noise canceling feature and battery of our product. These headphones have EXTRA BASS for impressively deep, punchy sound. Their battery can last up to 30 hours, so you can keep on listening to your favorite music all day. Be sure to download the Sony | Headphones Connect App to customize your listening experience with ASC (Adaptive Sound Control), an equalizer, and more. Plus you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thank you for choosing Sony! ~Earl

Still going strong
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After almost 2 years of use, they are holding up really well and the leather/foam is still in good shape. They connect to my phone and work computer, noise cancellation still meets expectations, and sound quality is good.

Fantic headphones, preferred over 1000xm4
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are fantastic headphones. I purchased both these and the 1000xm4 a couple days later just to see what the price difference really got you. Truthfully in my opinion it didnt bring enough to justify spending an extra $100 to $150. These headphones would be great for basically anyone they're good at noise cancelling they're good for sound and they're good for phone calls I don't think they are worth 250 but if you can get them on sale like I did for a hundred fifty they're worth that much all day long. I think my only complaint would be that if you want to turn on the EQ settings in the app you have to revert back to the lowest quality Bluetooth capability if you leave it off which I did most of the time it will remain with the sony LDAC.

Posted .Hi JumpnToDaThumpn, That's very cool to hear! We're glad you like the excellent noise cancelling feature and sound quality of your new WH-XB900N Wireless Noise Canceling Extra Bass Headphones. Good to know you've purchased the WH-1000XM4 as well. Using an equalizer on LDAC may downgrade the quality, hence the limitations on some settings. We will surely take note of your feedback as we always strive to make this a better experience.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWondering... Do the headphones have to be charged in order to use the wired connection?
Asked by OldSchool.
- A:Answer No power necessary when listening through the cord. They actually have better sound quality, as opposed to listening through Blue Tooth and Noise Canceling. All the excess electronic processing degrades sound quality.
Answered by Vroom
Q: QuestionAre these blue tooth. Can they be used with any electronic device ( PC, TV, Cell phone).
Asked by samson.
- A:Answer They can be used with cellphones and PCs however I don’t think they’re connectable with all smart TVs
Answered by Danial98
Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between these and the 1000xm3’s
Asked by Javin.
- A:Answer Hi, Javin! The WH1000XM3 has a frequency response of 4 Hz-40,000 Hz, an optional gold-plated L-shaped stereo mini plug, lesser charging time (3 hours/full charge), more noise-canceling functions (PERSONAL NC OPTIMIZER and ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE OPTIMIZING) and comes with a Plug Adaptor for In-flight Use. ~Ralph

Q: QuestionHow do these compare to the beats studio 3? They’re both noise cancelling but I’m more interested in ease of use and audio quality as well as comfort.
Asked by Chia.
- A:Answer Sony provides better quality in all three that you are asking for. The ear ups are so soft and mold around your ear shape so you can wear them for hours. They’re very easy to use and can control the features of the headphones on the app. You control music playback by hand swipes and taps on the right ear up which is a cool feature that no other competitor offers. Only has two buttons on the left ear up for power and siri, Alexa. You won’t regret it. The build quality is good too.

Q: QuestionAre these worth $250 or should I wait for them to go on sale? I don’t care about the noise Cancellation, just the music quality.
Asked by Quan.
- A:Answer In my honest opinion, it's a bit of a toss up, the sound is worth the $250 price, but the overall usability of the phone is a but of a turnoff for me. I got them on sale over the Holidays and don't regret my purchase but they were also $150. Knowing what I do now, I would possibly pay $250 for them, as they do sound AMAZING, but with the bluetooth challenges and some other use features, I might not be as happy if I dropped $250 on them.

Q: QuestionCan it be used just for cancel the airplane's noise without the need to listen to music? I stopped at Bestbuy store and the worker there told me I have to have music turned to cut down the noise, is it true? Thank you.
Asked by NW.
- A:Answer The noise cancelling, all by itself/without music, is only fair to good (but not great) for reducing typical airplane noises. Although, it's certainly much better when also listening to music, TV, movies, etc..
