Sound Amazing but…
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had doing so much on what headphones would be best for me I’ve tested out almost every mainstream headphone the Bose , Beats , Apple & of course Sony I honest feel like these headphones sound the best out the box without Eq , the bass and tremble & balance it’s great for my eyes thr only issue I have with these headphones and maybe it’s most headphones is the comfort level I would give a 3out of 5 because the ear cushion is tight causes my ears get fatigued after long hours of use .Overall amazing headphones I would recommend especially when they are on sale !!!

Great cans!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are awesome headphones. The blue ones are beauties too. Comfortable, easy to use, great sound and the noise canceling is soooo sweet. I just took a flight and now I gotta buy a pair for my wife. You can listen at low volume during a flight and not miss a thing. I almost went with the Bose QC II but I’m really glad I didn’t. Everyone says they’re more comfortable, but I’ve got a pretty big melon and I can rock these for 4-5hours while studying no problem. Just get them. Only con is they drop the Bluetooth every now and then. Whatever, takes 10 seconds to reconnect and get back on my way and it’s not often enough to really bother me.

beautiful design and premium sound
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great looking headphones. Online they look more pinkish, and I really didn't want that. But in person its a much more premium stone grey collor with nice gold accents. It looks less feminine in person than it does online. Probably the best noise cancelling. I can't hear a thing and the multidevice connect is nice because i can have both of my pcs connected to the headphones at the same time. Sony's app is really helpful too as you can have every device there so you can quickly jump to all of them when you need to. The battey life though is the best, especially since i am always forgetting to charge up my stuff i don't have to worry with these

Great sound 4 your money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price and sound quality. My 3rd pair they last easily 1yr- 1 1/2yrs. Unfortunately my last pair stopped charging. Sony offers a good warranty, however I use them daily and couldn’t wait so I bought another pair.

Posted .Hi WiseShopper,
We are delighted you appreciate the great price and sound quality of the WH-1000XM4, and we truly value you choosing them for your third pair. We are sorry to hear your previous pair had a charging failure. Since you couldn't wait for a warranty claim, for future reference, charging issues can often be resolved by using a lower-wattage charger (like the port on a computer) or performing a soft reset by holding the power button while plugging the cable in. We hope your new pair provides you with many more years of excellent performance! Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

My Absolute Favorite
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got them as a Christmas gift and they were so perfect for me. I had a lot of compliments while wearing them. They are really comfortable to wear in any kind of weather, wouldn't recommend working out in these, they slip out of your head pretty easily, but overall these work amazingly well. The noise cancellation is really good. Definitely worth the price.

Really good but can do without the touch buttons.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good, love the fact it uses USB C like all my other devices and allows wired audio cable for my desktop that doesn't have Bluetooth. Noise cancelation and battery is pretty impressive. Can do without the touch buttons, the slightest bump pauses, skips... the music/Video.

these exceeded expectations!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great!! I should of bought them at first. I started with the Sony Ulta, but the noise cancellation and over all sound quality sounded off. I returned them fo4 the Beats Studio Pro to see if they lived up to the hype seeing several people wearing them at the gym, they were trash. The Beats sounded flat, no EQ on the android app. So i decided to spend the extra money on the Sony 4s, and i havent regretted it. I listen to all different types of Reggae, Hip Hop, R&B and these sound great compared to the rest. I almost got the JBL headphones in the same price range. But the noose cancellation is definitely a game changer. FYI most the over ear headphones are not sweat resistant. I went on Amazon and got the sweat resistant ear covers for $15, because i primarily use the headphones at the gym and i sweat alot.

Best Active Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have way better active noise cancelling than my prior pair of Soundcore Q45 ANC headphones as well as a longer battery life. That being said the sound quality is exactly the same, so if you're hesitant about spending this much on a pair of headphones they're an amazing alternative.

Game changer for air travel!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! These headphones are a game changer on long, international flights! Blocks out almost all sounds. It really makes a flight less stressful without all the noises. I also like the feature to turn off noise cancelling (just touch the right earpiece) if you need to hear an announcement or talk with the flight attendant. Highly recommend for flights!
