Best Headphone Ever
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headphone is amazing!! I bought this product while it was on a flash sale, and this was one of the best investments I have ever made. The headphones sit comfortably on your ears, the sound quality is smooth with a sturdy bass, and the noise cancellation is astonishing. The battery life is great too as it can last for almost 20 hours for me. I mainly use it for the gym, and I could go on without charging it for a whole week. With a built-in swiping feature, I am also able to skip through songs and hold down the headphone to muffle the music and listen to outside noise. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to buy nice headphones for a decent price

Solid choice for the money
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good sound quality and noice canceling. There could be better insulation from outside noise and although the headphones do an amazing job in most environments, they struggle to cancel out certain noises in real time, such as in a coffee shop. I love that they can be used both wired and wirelessly, so sound quality doesn't have to be sacrificed. The app could be better and Bluetooth connectivity can cut out if multiple devices are carried together. Overall, they're a solid choice for the money.

- Pros mentioned:Bass, Sound quality
Great all around sound with extra bass.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the Bose 700 ANC first and wasn't satisfied with the bass response. The highs are second to none however the bass was really lacking. I returned them and got the MX4s. All I can say is wow! Sound quality is awesome and the bass is deep and loud. The app allows for adjusting the sound and I was blown away. Definitely a keeper. Bose does have the option in their app but it does little help for bass. The MX4s headset is great for plane flights. With all the noise on a plane, the MX4s block it all. The Bose 700s left me with a earache due to the air pressure, I didn't get that with the MX4s. Great job Sony! I fly very frequently and both headsets have their plus and negative. To me the MX4s do what I need them to do. I'm bass heavy so the MX4s are great for me and the 360 sound is amazing. If you like sound clarity with light bass; go with Bose 700s. If you want clarity and good punchy low end bass, go with the MX4s. Sony did a better job when it came to all around sound. That's my 2 cents.

Very good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are really good, they are comfortable and sound really good. I read some reviews saying that they don't fit well for them but for me they fit really good and stay comfortable over a long period of time.

Sony Wh1000xm4 you may be stolen but will be rem….
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I miss them so much! I recently graduated college with my masters and love using them to study or simply being deep in thought with the ANC feature. However they were stolen. Now I only have the memories of studying together, getting ready for football games, long walks, and helping me with my mental health. Holding one hand on one ear cuff was a killer feature so I can talk and hear my surroundings. I highly recommend and I know the M5 may be even better.

GREAT headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't say enough great things about these Sony headphones! I did a LOT of research and analysis before making my decision. I compared the Sony with the Bose 700 and Apple AirPods Max. The price point alone was a significant factor in my decision. But there were other important reasons I decided on the Sony. The noise cancellation technology is excellent. I have used these on several plane rides and it cancels out all the background noise. However, when important announcements come across, the voice recognition technology allows for those important messages to come through. The sounds quality is what you have come to expect from Sony. Great sound and deep, rich bass. The battery life is excellent. And if you're running low, a quick charge gets you going again. Overall, these are exceptional headphones. My 2nd pair of Sony's and a great purchase for the money.

outperforms the competition
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I debated between these headphones and the Bose 700 for many months. I bit the bullet when I spoke to someone in the store who spoke about his experience with these for the last year. I’m glad I listened. These are so comfortable and the noise cancelling is incredible. The audio quality is top notch, the automatic noise cancellation feature can be great when turned on. It will enable 100 percent when stationary and when it detects you moving it will allow all sound to enter to hear your surroundings. You can adjust the intensity of the noise cancelling on multiple levels and for multiple preset scenarios. Audio quality is consistent throughout every setting. I am someone who worked as an audio engineer for 8 years and this does not seem to color the sound of any audio. No extra bass, no harsh highs. Just perfect for comfort, quality, ease of use. Happy with this purchase and if you’re debating… don’t and go buy them!

Perfect Bluetooth ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are light weight, comfortable and long lasting (about 29 hrs from my test). Keep in mind that for gaming you need to wire up, to avoid BT lag. If you're looking for gaming headphone only, there are cheaper options out there but if you're looking for these specifics features, this is the headphone to beat!

Sony 1000wm4 headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for $159 when Sony began to clear them out on black friday. Glad I got them at this great price. I also bought the bose quiet comfort headphones, and I have to admit the Sonys sound quality is MUCH better (I returned the bose). Noise canceling is very good, I'm still working with the Sony app equalizer as well as my Samsung music app equalizer, but am overall happy with the sound quality. Have not noticed much (any?) distortion.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're happy that you chose to keep the XM4s and that they are providing the clear, distortion-free audio you were looking for.

Just awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comparing this with my favorite headsets Beat Solo3, Beats Solo Pro, and SkullCandy Crusher, this Sony headset is the best! The noise canceling feature is very impressive. As soon as I turn it on, I hear a complete silence. No more buzz from my desktop fans. I love it! I can also walk away at least 3 times farther without losing signals or getting static noise. This headset is super comfortable. I think my head is slightly bigger than average women and the Beats headset just pinch my ears little too much. SkullCandy was nice, but the earmuffs were a bit bulky. I'm not into that Princess Leah headbuns style. This Sony headset is just right. Now I can stop looking for a better headset because I found one. I am hoping to find it in different colors. The color on the picture was a bit misleading. The actual color is gray and has no tint of cream. I was a little disappointed when I first saw it, but the headset itself is just amazing.
