Having used them extensively over the past few months, I can confidently say they live up to—and even exceed—their reputation.

Firstly I bought these earphones so I can pair them to my Sony TV when I'm watching TV late at night (my attempts to he considerate to other members of the house). They paired wonderfully, seamlessly, and didnt have that weird crackling/static noise i was getting when Paired other Bluetooth earbuds. I was impressed with the sound that I use them for listening to music while im working from home. They sound amazing! The bass is nice. The mids and the highes are awesome, too. Its not the punchy bass like my scullcandy earbuds, but there is a reason for that. Earbuds are directly in your ear canal and creates a seal, allowing for all the pressure to be forsed into your ear. These earphones work a bid differently and present the Vibration of the bass, but the pressure from the bass is disbursed around your ear. So, the bass is present, its just not punching your eardrums (its a good thing). These earphones are super light. If it wasnt for the heat that builds up around your ear, you wouldn't be able to tell you have them on. I do have to take them off and let my ears breathe and to bring my body temperature down a bit. I never knew how important of a role our ears played in regulating body temperature. the noice canceling is amazing. It truly blocks out everything. The ambient noice feature works great as well. I turned off the automatic feature for this because if I start singing or clear my throat, it pauses the music to let outside noises in. But, I do like that it pauses the music or video when i take them off and resumes when i put them back on. The battery life? OMG! 30 hours is so much play time that ive done a week without charging them!!! Ive never run out of battery, so I have the freedom of not really worrying about them at all. When I remember to charge them, I do. But, the battery life is so amazing that I can do it whenever i remember to do it. I opted for the silver/putty color, over the black. Black conceals dirt more easily and didn't want to be bothered with that. I like to keep things clean and since these headphones are going over two big holes in my head, I want something thats going to show dirt, so i can get rid of it. They are easier to find in darker lit rooms, which is a plus for me since i have dark leather couches. Dont want to accidentally sit on them and break them. I definitely recommend these. Would I pay full price for them? Probably not. I w9uld wait until they are on sale. Thats what I did and Im glad they were on sale when i decided to buy some headphone.

Exceptional headphones! I use them primarily when we travel, but my wife uses them all the time. We liked them so much that we bought them twice, the first time a year and a half ago, and then again during the sale that coincided with prime day a month ago. So now, we don't need to share when we fly! They sound fantastic, and the sound cancelation is absolutely top notch. You can be sitting right behind the wing, directly behind and aside the engines (the loudest part of the plane due to the travel of sound), and all you'll get is the gentlest hum. When my wife would let me have a turn, it was the biggest and most comforting relief. Cannot recommend these enough for the noise cancelation alone. As far as sound quality, theyre really outstanding in that regard too. The full audio range is nicely calibrated out of the box. I sometimes even use them for watching and television at home if my wife is sitting next to me and shes talking on the telephone. Excellent sound quality. You get the base is great, the dialog comes clear. Features are cool. You can connect to 2 things at once, you can turn the noise cancellation on/off, you can have it so that the noise cancellation automatically turns on/off if you start talking. neat stuff. Easy to pair with devices like most Bluetooth devices. Ive paired with my television, sound system, cell phone, etc. The only thing i couldnt pair it with was my PS5, but thats because the ps5 "doesnt allow for audio bluetooth devices" (per the ps5 notification that pops up. They seem durable enough, unlike the newer versions. The newer versions of these (the xm5 and xm6) have these little thin hinges atop the earcups, and if you go to the headphones subreddit, youll see constant posts of those snapping. These, on the XM4, are wider, less stylized, and seem more durable. Very comfortable. I have sensitive ears, in that my ears get really hot and irritated sometimes, so i need to be carful with what i use/wear (and earbuds give me insane ear ache, so i cant wear those). These headphones have never irritated my ears. Theyre very gentle, soft, and breathable. I also have a rather large head, my hat size is between a 7&3/4 (XXL) and 7&5/8 (XL). For reference, the average male head size is 7&3/8 (L), which means my head is roughly a full inch wider then the typical. Now, you might think that an inch isnt that much of a difference, but it is. Point is, these still fit nicely and do not squeeze my XL/XXL head. As far as why i chose these in particular, i used the review website "RTINGS" to help me narrow it down, and it was a fight between these and the bose quietcomfort. After going to the bestbuy to physically try and listen to both pairs, i liked how these performed just slightly better overall. In conclusion - great headphones. You wont regret going with these.

I’ve been using this headphones since 2 years and my experience has been nothing but great! Sound quality is great even with a Neutral EQ profile. I prefer having a custom EQ to juice out the best performance out of these. Great app with all the important features. Ambience mode works great, Speak-To-Chat feature works really well when at office / at the gym. Noise cancellation on these are on par with the high end headphones. I’ve tried them wearing these on a 30 hour long flight journey 3 times. They do not tire your ears, do not feel heavy, ANC blocks majority of the flight engine noise, flight infotainment adapter comes in handy in older planes, battery life lasted the entire 30 hours with ANC On always! It still had 15% charge left. I have even compared these against its successor XM5. Like majority of the reviews say, XM4 are a great for price headphones, XM5 aren’t much of an upgrade considering it’s $100 more than XM4. Wait for XM6 to upgrade! I also like XM4 foldable design better than XM5.

An overall good buy. The fit is comfortable and I love the design. At moments I felt that I was a bit bulky but I appreciated that it was lightweight. I really never used the case. Wonderful battery life, I went 4-5 days of regular use before even thinking about charging. Sound quality is stellar, noise cancelling was just ok. Overall a good purchase , especially compared with competitor products that often run more expensive despite comparable sound quality.

I am no headphone connoisseur, but from an average person’s POV, I think these headphones are wonderful. Sound quality- great. Noise cancellation- great. Ambient sound- great. Battery life- great. Sound preference customization- very cool. Love how they flatten and fit into a case that is low profile and easier to pack in a bag. They’re comfortable to wear for long periods of time and don’t hurt my ears/head. The controls are easy to learn. Sometimes there is a lag to initially connect (a few seconds), but it doesn’t really bother me. When switching between devices, sometime I have to go through Sonys app to connect instead of just through Bluetooth which can be a bit annoying. The app allows you to set modes for when ambient sound turns on, when noise cancellation turns on, etc which is a really sweet feature. You can customize the settings or turn them off if you don’t want them. There’s a sensor in the left ear cup that detects if they’re on or off and will pause music if they’re off your ears. It will also turn itself off after a period of inactivity if they’re off your head which saves battery. I would purchase these again in a heartbeat.

TLDR: amazing headphones with incredible battery life, super comfortable (no pressure headaches), adaptable for all of your needs (with a user friendly app, accessible controls on the headphones themselves, & its own carrying case), and truly noise cancelling! I spent so long debating which over the head headphones with a noise cancelling feature to buy, and I am SO thankful I went with these! I’ve had them for 3+ months now, and I am obsessed. As a very sensory sensitive person that can get very disregulated (and/or distracted) easily, these have been a lifesaver. Not only do they provide incredible sounds for all your musical + zoning out needs, they also are truly the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, and I have not once gotten a pressure headache from them. The adaptability features makes it very customizable for your various needs, and they have worked wonders in grocery stores, social settings, for work (virtual therapy sessions - using them for hours and the battery life is insane!!!), exercise, sensory deprivation, airplanes, and literally any other possible usage. I was lucky to score an amazing deal on them for $199 right after Christmas, but I fully believe they are worth every penny at full price too. Overall, I am in love with these headphones and I recommend them 10000x over to anyone who is debating on purchasing these. DO IT!! You will not regret it. Plus, they’re very stylish, come with a cute carrying case, and has a corded option with an airport adapter. 12/10 headphones!!!

Game Changer for My Ears Okay, I finally gave in to the hype and got the Sony XM4s and wow, I wish I had done this sooner! These headphones are hands-down the best investment I’ve made in a long time. From the moment I put them on, it felt like stepping into my own peaceful bubble. Noise canceling? Insane. Like, “I-can’t-hear-my-roommate’s-gaming-rage-sessions” level. Sound quality? Pure butter. The bass is punchy, mids are clean, highs are crisp. I catch little details in songs I’ve heard a million times. It’s like rediscovering music. Comfort? I wore these on a 5-hour bus ride and forgot they were even on. Super lightweight and no ear fatigue at all. Battery life? Legendary. I charged it once and used it for days (like 3-4) without worrying. And let’s not forget the cool features like the touch controls, auto-pause when you take them off, and multi-device pairing (yes, I switch between my macbook and iphone effortlessly now, no drama). Honestly, these are not just headphones — they’re an upgrade to your entire vibe. Highly, highly recommend!

I’ll break it down by look, feel, ease of setup and sound Look and feel are amazing! My ears are small so they fit in the cup perfectly I’d assume most normal sized ears would too but larger ears might feel the headset cup rims on their ears. It’s a nice soft cushion but I’m wondering how sturdy they will be because the material seems thin. Comfortable I purchased the blue and I think it’s classic and clean. Sound is nice. Bass is good, not too much. I can hear background noise so they are not perfect sound canceling and I have had better. Now the issue. I downloaded the app, I went through the setup process. UX on the app is clean but not intuitive. I’m sure there are things I need to get used to but I’m comparing these to the ease of setup I had from my last two headphones, which were also very impressive and less expensive. I’d reco them to people but I’d say they are blowing my mind.

I’ve been on the hunt for the best work out headphones and when I tell you I’ve been running back and forth to Best Buy three times in the past two weeks. These are the best ones to purchase because of the research I did for the best recommended ones in the market after my last two attempts at finding “the one” mind you, I’m not an electronics person but I was looking to become physically healthy again and needed to find the right tools that will help me make it fun. I first purchased the Beats by Dre fit pro - I brought them to the gym and everything was fine at first but I noticed they hurt my ears because the buds that pop in are so thick and it always felt like it would fall out of my ears. After the second time in the gym, the right side completely stopped working and I had to return them. However, I did really like the noise cancelling feature and base in them. They weren’t waterproof as I had thought or they may have been defective. Fortunately I returned them and purchased the AirPod pros 3rd generation. I thought they would be better because I have an iPhone and the sound was great once you customize it but it would literally NOT fit in my ear/it kept popping out and I know I could’ve ordered these silicone tips to make them fit but it’s so inconvenient to have to carry two separate cases and pop the silicone on and off every time I use them. Plus, someone else said even with them on they still wouldn’t stay put. At my wits end, I looked on TikTok what everyone recommended and compared - I somehow landed on reviews for these Sony headphones and I’m glad I took a chance. I also recommend you look at the videos to get a more detailed review on them. I took them to the gym and they stayed put! Yes I also sweat on them because I was running and walking on the treadmill for 60 minutes straight and they are still working. They are easy to clean because the padding is a harder leather like material and they are soo soft! It’s like a cloud over my ears. I love that it also folds together, and is adjustable - it hugs your head nice and snug without giving you a headache. The noise cancellation on them is impeccable! I can barely hear anything else outside of them when I turn them on and I find the “touchscreen-like” controls on the side useful instead of having to tap a button and being unsure if they were pushed hard enough. It makes running on the treadmill so much easier as well as keeping them clean when my hands are sweaty. I love how I can swipe in different ways to move the controls (Up=louder/Down=lower volume/double tap=pause/swipe right&left two times skips songs or goes forward) and the most useful control is covering your ear over the headphone and it will disable the noise cancellation if someone/something needs your immediate attention. The battery life lasts so long. I was using them for an hour and they are still at full battery. It doesn’t take long to charge them either! I love that these headphones look aesthetically pleasing it comes in black and grey (I bought the grey because they also look beige/nude/neutral colored to me) it’s the right balance between not too skinny & not too bulky. They come with their own protective case and a bunch of extra things like a plug for an airplane, a wire if you want to connect it to your phone I think, and it’s charging cable. I recommend these headphones completely as I have also found out my supervisor has the same ones but in the color black which is awesome and makes me feel like I made the right choice. I definitely won’t be going back to Best Buy for a return on these. I recommend you always purchase the coverage on any headphones you buy so that you’re covered if you buy any that just don’t work for you. TLDR: -I’ve been back & forth trying to find the best headphones -Noise cancelling & touch screen like controls -Perfect for the gym especially on the treadmill -Cloud like cushion/Easy to clean/No headache -Long battery life/Short charge time -Great base and music -Comes with protective case and wires -Sleek & aesthetically pleasing neutral colors -Sweat proof -Always buy the care coverage so you can return them if it doesn’t work for you Yes they are a bit pricy but it is worth every penny. Some prefer this over the AirPod Max because of the case, quality, and it looks better overall. Mind you the AirPod Max is $400+

I purchased these headphones so I can focus at work while I am at the gym. They have great noise cancellation and are extremely comfortable! I have worn them for hours of working out with zero discomfort. Battery life seems very good as well, but I like to use the aux cord to plug into my laptop which does not drain the battery life at all. The headphones and aux cord fit really nicely into the carrying case and it barely takes up any room in my backpack. Sound quality is good too, but I would recommend downloading the app and adjusting to your liking. I’m a bit hard of hearing so I feel like the volume on these doesn’t go up super high. However, for my needs I don’t need to have anything at full volume anyway. These seem very durable too, so I have a good feeling they will be a “buy for life” pair of headphones. I’m very satisfied with the quality, especially since I got them on sale for $199. Overall, these are an extremely well-rounded pair of headphones! I’m very happy with my purchase. I considered the Bose QuietComfort, but these check more boxes for me. Would highly recommend it! :)

These headphones are everything I hoped they’d be—and maybe a little more. The noise-cancellation is chef’s kiss—whether I’m on a plane, in a noisy café, or just trying to focus at home, it blocks out the world like magic. Sound quality? Crystal clear. The bass is rich, the highs are crisp, and everything in between is perfectly balanced. It’s like hearing your favorite songs for the first time all over again. Plus, they’re super comfortable—even after hours of use, no ear fatigue. Battery life is insane. I charge it once and basically forget about it for days. The touch controls are intuitive, and I love the auto-pause when you take them off. It’s the little things that make them feel extra smart. Yeah, they’re a bit of a splurge—but totally worth it. If you want headphones that sound incredible and make you feel like you're in your own peaceful bubble, these are the ones.

I recently received this Sony headset as a gift from my girlfriend, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The sound quality is absolutely top-notch—every detail in the audio is crisp, clear, and rich, making music, movies, and gaming a whole new experience. The bass is powerful without overwhelming the mids and highs, providing a balanced, immersive sound. The battery life is equally remarkable, lasting for hours on a single charge, which means I can enjoy uninterrupted listening throughout the day without constantly worrying about recharging. Navigating the companion sound app is a breeze, offering intuitive controls that let you customize the sound profile to your preference. Whether you’re looking to adjust the EQ, switch between modes, or check the battery status, the app makes it all incredibly easy. Overall, this headset delivers exceptional value, combining superior sound quality, impressive battery life, and thoughtful features that enhance the listening experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their audio gear!

My first ever Luxury Headphone, it's been a couple of weeks and I have to say these are in all caps FANTASTIC! At first, I was hesitant of buying as I wanted new headphones for usage in my home as my pair of old Philip noise-canceling headphones died out after a few drops of water, (2016-2020) I was using Galaxy buds which are working by the way but I noticed they would run low on the battery once I get home from class, so I decided to get new headphones for home, I did my research and it seems as the Sony's xm4 is an extremely good choice then again, it was pricey for what they were until I made the bold move of getting them anyways, I could have gotten anything else, but now, these is what I got, and now looking back I have made the right call. Here are the things and detail I'll go over with this review: -In terms of sounds, holy cow, I'm not an Audiophile but these sound incredible all around and very loud, it seems as nothing is left out, wired in when the headphone is plugged into a device while they are off, it's decent at best unless the equalizers are arranged to sound at best good, but when turned on, they sound exactly like they are in BlueTooth noise cancelation mode, fantastic, speaking of noise cancelation. -The noise cancelation is superb seriously it actually made me have a little headache the first time using it without playing any music because it was blocking off so much noise. While playing music, all noises are blocked off but I haven't tested them in a super loud environment such as live band performance in restaurants or bars and in a motorsport racing event, well as of the time of typing that I can't that because of the pandemic which understandable but one thing it did well was blocking off my dad speaker he uses every Saturday night, these headphones blocked the speaker entirely and I was right next to the speaker. (Note: I was playing music through the headphones at the moment of time) -Confort is absolutely a breeze the headphones are light so traveling with them will be a nice experience plus I can use them for hours since I didn't notice my head getting tired, the earcups fitted my ear very well though mileage may vary with others, headband width didn't even need to flex for me but it can fit for big heads. It is just comfortable all-round no denying -Features like sound ambient control is fantastic but all I got to say they destroyed my Galaxy buds for sure in ambient sound, the microphone is alright but could be better but it isn't a deal-breaker it works besides everything else makes up for it, touch control is the most critical point I have, quick ambient mode (Press and hold) and pause (tap twice) on the right earcup works fine but it's a bit of a hassle for volume up and down sometimes it gets confused for skipping or rewinding for other music tracks, but seems I got the hang of it now, but I advise people to be careful with the touch controls, it honestly could of have more precision but it works. USB type-C "One cable to rule them all" seriously having USB-C is a huge advantage since everything is now starting to use it from phones, laptops, tablets, Nintendo Switches, you name it, One cable for recharging all devices is just practical and reliable. the Traveling case is nice and hard and slim, also in the case, there's an airplane adapter, man for people who travel a lot by plane will or are enjoying this. and the app is simple and easy to use, but they can be used without the app but I highly recommend using the app for the headphones full advantage. In conclusion, the Sony wh-1000xm4 is extremely good for what they are, and for my first ever luxury headphone beyond what i normally purchase these are worth every penny in the end

They're the best headphones I've ever wore. Since the first moment the compfy was unreal. I've ever never heard a noise cancellation better that the one that this headphones gave. With a sound quality that makes you feel in the cinema even if you're just in your home just listening to your favorite songs. Too the sound quality watching movies is amazing making you feel like you're ON the movie. The adaptative sound makes the sound experience much better changing when you're walking and when you're just sitting at your home or house. Is the noise cancellation so good? Well, lemme tell you a situation that I live diary. As a stufent I have to go on the bus and most of the people used to scream and talk, making me feel that they're talking just ln my ear when I don't have my headphones. With the noise cancellation and just half of the volume makes that the world would disappear. They're not heavy. And the battery can last up to s week with ANC and using it diary everytime. They look so luxury outside and inside. Too they have a cute match of the auxilliar cable and the headphones. And everytime I showed to my firends how the headphones sounds they said "I can't listen nothing from the outside." Obviously I asked them these two things; "It matters the price?", "Would you buy it?." I already have 5 answers from my friends. Yeah, them all think that it matters the price and they're wanting to buy it. The price really matters, you're buying for one of the BEST headphones ever. That makes you know what actually audio quiality is. Is it expensive? No, it ain't when the quiality is so good.

The headphones were delivered on time. They work really well once the firmware was updated. I am happy with the ANC & used them on a 16-hr flight. Battery life is reasonable and they are comfortable to wear for extended periods. Sound quality could be a bit more dynamic, Good bass
