Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good headphones! The noise cancelation is very effective and it makes the music experience enjoyable. I don't have any complaints about it. I use it all the time for studying, doing errands, gym and much more! I highly recommend these headphones. Also the battery life is SUPER LONG. It takes a very long time for the headphones to die which I really like.

We are so glad to hear that you are very happy with your wh1000xm4! It is great to know that the sound quality is meeting your expectations.
We also appreciate you mentioning the voice control setting. It sounds like you encountered the Speak-to-Chat feature, which is designed to automatically pause music for quick conversations. While many users find it helpful, we understand that it isn't for everyone, and we are glad you were able to easily toggle it off to enjoy your music exactly how you like it.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

the best headphones i’ve ever owned.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.in the year that i’ve owned them, i’ve only had to charge them 5-7 times fully, and the battery life lasts soooo long. my little brother who does boxing also says they’re good at staying put while moving around (he does boxing, which requires a lot of movement), really impressive! looking to buy him his own soon.

Best Headphones on the market.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After months of research and watching several YT videos ....I can say that the general concensus is that these headphones are among the best of the best ...if not the best on the market. I whole heartedly agree! If you are looking for quality of sound and "bass" ...look no further. The noise cancelling is great! The battery life is insanse ...no regrets at all.

Tune Out the World!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as I needed something for working at home during the COVID economy and they cancel out the noise from my kids and other distractions very well! They are comfortable enough that I can wear them all day and no issues with my head or ears. Some great features to where I can pause and play video by tapping the right earphone and allow me to hear my wife or kids speak if I leave my hand the right ear phone. The only thing I don't like is that it is somewhat a task to connect via bluetooth. I would think that it should be easier to connect and reconnect with different devices. All around are a great pair of NC headphones!

The Best Wireless Over Ear Headphones even NOW!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To me, the best over ear wireless headphones for the past two years…and even better overall than the next generation; the Sony WH-1000XM5. They are comfortable, sound great and the noise canceling is top notch! But, again, this is just MY opinion. But if you REALLY want to get to the nitty gritty, I think that the Sony WH-1000XM3’s were the best out of all of them historically. But for NOW near 2023, it’s the Sony WH-1000XM4’s!!! Even better if you can get them for sale!

Great, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a good pair of headphones, and it's really comfortable. Got a long battery life too. The feature where it pauses the music when you speak is, however, the most annoying thing on the planet. I spend a few hours trying to figure out how to turn it off before just calling support and figuring it out from there. The hands free audio when you're connected to multiple sources on the computer is also kind of annoying as the hands free audio is (compared to the normal audio) complete garbage. I got around this by simply disabling the hands-free audio sound device on my computer and it worked just fine (with 2 or less programs).

Great Features Okay Sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After hearing all the hype about these headphones I decided to give them a try. There are many things that Sony does right with these. First of all, the active noise cancelling is phenomenal. Fans, vacuum cleaners, and dog barking are blocked by these. The features in the app are plentiful. Adaptive sound control, noise canceling optimizer, 360 reality setup, equalizer and much more. Sony truly allows its costumers to alter it to their liking. There are lots of other reasons these headphones are great but it does lack in sound quality. It's not that the quality is bad but the mids and highs aren't as crisp as I'm used to. I attribute that to the emphasis in bass. If Sony were to focus on a balanced sound it'd blow every competitor out of the water.

Perfect for work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife absolutely loves these, and they're helping her concentrate at work! She charges them about once a week and they last her. She even brought them on vacation to distract herself during my driving shifts. Love love LOVE the color. In fact I accidentally ordered the black and had to return them and get the blue.
