Bravo Sony...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best headphones just got better! I bought the Sony WH-1000XM4 on sale and finally got to listen to what all the hype was about and was not disappointed. These headphones definitely scream quality! If you buy them at regular price or on sale they are worth every penny of your hard earned money. Why are you still sitting there...go buy them!
I would recommend this to a friend Too big for my head and very heavy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sounded great. But I had to return them because I am a woman (pretty normal size) and they didn't adjust to be small enough to fit my ears, so they pressed on my ears at the top and made them sore after only about 3 minutes of wear. They were also way too loose to use for the gym.

Best headphones on the market
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not kidding. I had to go back and re-listen to all my old songs because they sound so different with these on. It's like hearing your favorite songs for the first time again. I got the silver color and this color is also pretty unique and neutral enough that it will match any of your outfits. 10/10 would recommend

||Posted .

I bought this one and am very happy with it. Only the cost holds it down

One of the best!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation is excellent, the music quality is good, the fit is okayish because for some reason after a month of use it kinda got a little loose on my head. It would occasionally fall out of place especially if I am doing circuit training that involves heavy movement. FYI Those who are on a budget and looking for a quality and excellent headset the xm3 can still go toe to toe with this xm4, minus some of the features the xm3 can basically do everything what an xm4 can do when it comes to providing sound quality

Glad I purchased
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound great and seal the sound from the outside great. Use them when mowing on my rider and can't here the tractor when music is playing. Love the pause feature by touching the outside of the ear muf. Love the carrying case which worked great on the plane. Didn't like the feel of the ear bud and so glad I purchased these as an alternative.

Sony XM4's
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are probably the best over the ear noise cancelling headphones you can buy right now. If you're on a budget and don't want to waste an extra $100 for the XM-5's then these are great.

- Pros mentioned:Bass
Overall, pretty good. Could be better.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like these headphones. I had returned these to get the Bose NC700 headphones. I will be exchanging the Bose 700 for the Sony XM4. The XM4 have excellent base and clear treble. You can really feel the bass which I love. Feels like a rave in my head. The noise canceling is ok. It could be better. I can hear conversation coming from my living room when I’m in my office. Maybe my expectations are to high when it comes to noise canceling. It doesn’t cancel out noise as much as it muffles it.

Posted .Hi Dave,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the noise canceling function is greatly appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is updated (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). 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 that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. 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.
We hope this improves your experience. The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location. Thank you for choosing Sony!

How can this get any better for the money?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A Christmas gift buy for my son. After a little coaxing he finally let me try them. I’ve been involved in a lot of sound system set ups and tuning over the past 30+ years and these things are amazing! These headphones are the closest thing to complete theater sound attached to your head I’ve ever seen. The frequency range is awesome !!!

Best headphones ever.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A wireless wonder for sure. Clamp the cushy cans over ears and either solitude or noisy workplace fades and enables getting things done. And that means either thinking, yoga or doing...or all three. Pair once with any bluetooth device and the headphones remember after you've turned them off and not back on for days.
