Expensive but worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are comfortable, sound great, have good noise cancelling, and generally do everything I want. The one downside is you can't charge and listen wirelessly at the same time. But the recharge speed is fast and battery lasts long, so that isn't really a problem. You can also plug it into a 3.5mm audio jack, which the wire is thankfully included, but noise cancelling won't be available if you use it that way.

Fantastic Sound Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Something you need to understand going into the prospect of buying active noise cancelling headphones is that no review — not mine, not anybody else's — is a substitute for putting on a pair and trying them for yourself. That said, I absolutely love my Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, and wouldn't trade them for anything. It's perfectly possible to use these with no sound cancelling whatsoever, and they're fine for that, I suppose, but they really come into their own when you use them as they were meant to be used. Also, like some other manufacturers' offerings, these are intended to be used with an app installed either on a smartphone or a tablet, because in order to have full access to the range of capabilities they're capable of, you need the app. However, whether you have an Android-based phone or an iPhone, or you have an iPad or an Android-based tablet, you're good to go. Sony has made their app available on both platforms. So, if you're anathema to having or using a smartphone or tablet, then look at a much more basic model, whether from Sony or anyone else. That said, these units are INCREDIBLE at nulling out background sound. In fact, they are built to be able to identify and selectively cancel out different kinds of sound. This can mean something like train and subway noise, motor noise, and a whole range of other things. They can filter out — or not filter out — human voice. In fact, they can selectively not filter human voice yet filter out much of the rest of the spectrum, letting you have a very comfortable conversation with someone without having to take them off and put them back on again. The app, used in conjunction with a tablet or smartphone, can be set up to know if you're at home, if you're out at some specific location, or if you're on the move, and function accordingly. Riding your bike? Going for a walk? Well, perhaps you shouldn't mute out all vehicle noise for safety reasons, and these headphones allow for all those sort of possibilities. So yes, these are not cheap headphones by any means, but for what they do and how well they do it, they're worth every penny.

Nice noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling is the best!!! Any design or color is fine. Unlike AirPods, it does not hurt your ears even if you use it for a long time. Also, the price is reasonable, I think. The battery lasts longer than expected. It can connect to devices and uses MacBooks and iPhones with it. Switching to Bluetooth between devices works better than expected.

Worth the Hype for Me
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love these headphones. Had been eyeing them for awhile, not thinking they were worth the investment, but as soon as I slipped them over my ears, I was hooked. Super comfortable, great sound, and love how much you can customize via the app.

Excellent noise cancelling and stable bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.During work-from-home, I used to use Apple AirPods Pro, because of noise canceling function. However, AirPods Pro sometimes disconnects while a meeting that I struggled with. Sony WH-100MX4 has a better noise cancelling and over-the-ear style that doesn't harm to my ear, so I could use it for a long time in a day. In addition, Bluetooth connection to my mac is very stable. I never encounter unknown-disconnection. Overall, I'm very happy to use this product and keep use it while a meeting.

I absolutely love that I can adjust how much background noise comes through. They are soft and comfortable. One of the best purchases I have made. They are a little pricey - but so worth the money.

Nice and Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones exceeded my expectations. They are very light and comfortable to wear for those long airline flights or just watching movies at home. I was surprised to find that I can connect them to my TV for the best surround sound experience when watching movies. The noise cancelling works really well, I often times do not hear people talking to me when I have them on. The case if very compact and sturdy.

A good buy.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not an audiophile, but I wanted a top-ranked set of wireless headphone, and this one sounds pretty good to me. It does a pretty good job of sealing off outside sound even without the noise cancelling on, and with it on it's pretty amazing. This headphone is also rests on the head quite comfortably. I haven't had it on for extended periods, so I can't yet attest to its comfort for a long a flight or a long winter's night, but so far, so good. I do recommend them, especially if you get them on sale as I did.

Honest review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sexiest, best sounding, CRAZIEST NOISE ISOLATION I HAVE EVER USED IN ALL MY YEARS IN EXPLORING NEW HEADPHONES (my experience) battery life is long and when you pair it with the sony headphones app you get so many features my favorite is the ambient sound mode it like turns off everything and turns on all the mics and it honestly feels like I have no headphones on so I can have these on listening to music while getting the perfect sound quality while still engaging in a conversation with someone next to me

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hi quality headphones with some great features. The noise cancelling is really good, and like the option to have it wired as well. You will want to mess with the settings on the mobile app as well as it will help control some of the features that can be useful at times, and other times not what you want at the time like speak to pause feature. Some people might not like this if they don't want to use the app or using the touch panel to control the headphones.
