Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great headphones, the noise cancellation is amazing and customizable which is neat. If you want good quality music and bass go ahead and grab you a pair of these but only down side is these really can’t be used for the gym they slide of easily which is the only down side Over all good to just kick back and jam out.

Excellent product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product, does exactly what it claims. Great noise cancelling, effective in environments like airports or cafes, but still allows you to hear announcements that are being made. Fast charging with USB-C, multipoint functionality makes connecting to 2 different sources a breeze. No major complaints.

Great for the gym
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these and the bose 700 to test out at the gym. The sonys had more bass to where you feel your cheeks vibrating. When someone talks to me at the gym and i start to speak the music stops so i can have a conversation which is really convenient. The material is real good quality.

Great Headphones with a Few Minor Cons
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Pros: They are comfortable, look great, sound proofing is future tech, and produce amazing sound quality that can be manipulated in high detail on the app. Cons: - Highly susceptible to water damage. Wore them for 5 minutes in the rain and the board fried so get that protection plan! - The app, while it does it's job well, is kind of wonky and not very user friendly.

GREAT product

Great headphones especially for the price drop
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything that has been said about the sound and build quality of these sony headphones is completely true. Great fit and feel. I came from the xm3s so its very minor in terms of an upgrade from the previous version. I wouldn't have grabbed them if it wasnt for the massive price drop. But the app the is necessary for at least the first Bluetooth connection to a device is meh. Its tries to make it easy to connect and modify the settings but its messy. It was alot simplier to connect to the headphones through my Bluetooth settings. But once that's done, everything works well and its becomes simple to customize settings and do system upgrades. If you dont wanna spend the money on the newest version and still have a great listen experience, get these headphones. Just have some patience first using the app.

Sturdy, great sound
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sturdy, great noise cancelling headphones my son uses for the gym. The earbuds fall out of his ear while working out and he has lost a couple. This ones do not fall and are very sturdy with great sound.

Posted .Hi Nick, Awesome! We are glad to hear you like the excellent noise canceling feature on your WH-1000XM4 headphones. These headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. These will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities and it doesn't have an IPX rating since it's not waterproof. I recommend you practice caution when using the unit while you are sweaty or when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise.

Better value over X5
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brought on sale, excellent sound and value. Love that it comes with a cord for another option. In my opinion it's better than the newer version because it folds down more compact for traveling.

Sound great.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared Bose NC 700 and Apple AirPods Max to these Sony WH- 1000XM4. To my ears, the Sony headphones sound the best...with tweak of EQ settings. Noise cancelling is very good. At a price of $250...can't beat them.
