Best over the ear headphone on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am happy with my purchased of the Sony WH10XM4 headphone and they’re the best over the ear headphone on the market. For me they offer terrific audio performance, quick battery charge, longer hours playing time and they’re very comfortable to wear while sleeping…. The sound quality is superb, excellent bass, nice equalizer and the best active noise cancellation on the market.. Multi purpose headphone.. You want be disappointed with the headphone!!!

Amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Whenever your listen to music or watch a movie your truly feel like you’re in a concert or a movie theater. And the best part you get to dial in your EQ settings if you really want to turn the Bass to the MAX

A few annoyances but overall well worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love almost everything about these headphones. Pros: light weight, amazing sound, grey battery life, the material used for the headphones and case are great, features like the auto pause when talking,and the app that goes with the app allows a decent amount of customization of sound (base, treble, etc) Cons: the auto noise cancelling is very finicky. Several times sitting in the car it would make an odd sound similar to having one window of your car open. As if it cannot equalize. The headphones do have a feature to connect to a second device (needs to be turned on manually) but I’ve had it reset several times. The app that is great is also not so great. Mainly because the app stays active one phone and kills the battery. Lastly, the grey or silver stains SUPER easily. It was the last pair in stock, or I would have gone with a different color. Overall, a strong buy. And these replaced the Bose QC135

Posted .Hi ac107534, We regret to hear that you're having concerns with this WH1000XM4. We apologize for the inconvenience. The noise-canceling function is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient. When you connect headphones to a device, both the music playback (Media audio) and the phone call function (Call audio) are connected simultaneously. Most headphones allow multiple Bluetooth® connections to audio devices, however, to switch sources, you would need to go into the Bluetooth settings, disconnect the current source, and then connect the source you want to use with the headphones. Unlike many other headphones, the WH-1000XM4 headphones support a Multipoint connection. This means that the headphones can switch easily between two audio sources without needing to go through the normal Bluetooth reconnection process. For more details, please check the link below:

Usage hours may be different depending on the settings and conditions of use.

When the outside of the unit is dirty, clean it by wiping it with a soft dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, soak a cloth in a dilute solution of neutral detergent, and wring it well before wiping. Do not use solvents such as thinner, benzene, or alcohol, as they may damage the surface.
We're glad to hear that you love the weight, sound quality, and battery life of this unit. The WH-1000XM4 headphones blend our most advanced noise-canceling with exceptional sound quality and a range of smart features for an unrivaled listening experience.
Thank you for choosing Sony! Jay

Build, sound, and noise cancelling quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are excellent headphones. Build quality is nice. Very lightweight. The noise cancelling is really impressive. Sound quality is very good, but only if you change the EQ in the app. I recommend lowering the clear bass just one point, and raising some of the mids — refer to my screenshot. Overall, highly recommend these headphones. I still prefer by beyerdynamic dt880s if I’m in a perfectly quiet environment, but these sound almost as good, and are usable in so many more situations.

Best headphones ever.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cancelling noise and the sound are amazing. I’m really glad I chose the Sony over anything else. For the price and performance the are the best deal out there. Pros : 30 hr charge, sound, noise cancelling, 2 device connectivity at the same time, and the app lets you customize the equalizer several ways. Cons: The usb c cord to charge them is too short. Yep. That’s it. That is the only con.

Noise Cancelation a plus!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performed better than expected. Noise cancelation was the best I have experienced. I was on a 4 hour flight, on a plane with a loud engine. I selected NC on.. and I heard little.to no engine! When I turned the NC off.. i hard the loud, irritating engine noise everyone else was hearing. NC on.. music heard clearly, and I slept like a baby!

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is amazing, especially for the price. It has top notch premium audio and great noise canceling. The battery life is phenomenal. I’ve had it for almost a month and I’ve only had to charge it once. The only con is that it does occasionally get slightly warm to the ears after long periods of use. Overall, still a great buy and would recommend it to others.

Posted .Hi Leethegreatx,
That's truly fantastic to hear! We're thrilled your Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones have stood the test of time and continue to impress you.
Your feedback perfectly captures what makes the WH-1000XM4 such a beloved model: excellent Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that truly performs, and a sound profile that delivers a great "out of the box" experience for the average consumer. We're also glad you highlighted the Sony | Sound Connect app with its customizable EQ – that's precisely why we include it, to allow users to fine-tune the sound to their personal preference, whether they want to adjust the bass or any other frequency.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a nice day!

I like the transparency feature and options for noise canceling, ambient sound, or neither. They’re comfortable on my head and look good. They do slip a bit if I bend down.

Top of the line headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best gift I could ever give myself! I did a lot of research on headphones to see which one I should buy & I’m glad I went with these! The noise cancelling on these headphones are hands down the best there is & the main winner to these! Once the noise cancelling comes on, it’s like you’re in your own concert or lil world. Love that it has the feature of when you start speaking to someone it will automatically pause & uses its microphone to listen to the background so that you don’t have to waste time pausing or taking off the headphones. Not to mention the feature of cupping on to one side of the earphone & it will pause your music so you can’t listen in around you! Can’t forget it comes with a small compact carrying case to store them & all the accessories such as the charger & awesome attachment to use on an airplane! There’s many more features I’m forgetting, do the research & promise they won’t disappoint!
