Sound Quality? Meh.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the title of this review, it probably sounds like I hate this headphone. No. I completely understand the purpose it serves under the factor of convenience. The noise-cancellation is fantastic, the call microphones are alright, and the fit and comfort are out of this world, though slightly clampy for a big head like me. What I dislike, however, is how meh and uninspired the sound quality is. I would hope from a headphone this expensive that the sound would at least be much more clear and crisp. Instead, the XM4 has this awful muddyness to it. Personally, I find it to be unbearable, however your mileage may vary, when headphones are all bass. And the XM4's really are just mud and bass. Perhaps this headphone isn't aimed at me, but still, I would love a pair of good travel headphones that don't sound like being drowned underwater while your favorite music plays. If you are someone who isn't very keen or just doesn't care about sound as much as convenience and comfort, these are for you. I completely understand that side, and I would recommend them for commutes. But general listening, you can do way better.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing headphones and have great build quality and sound. Only thing I have reservations is easy of set up and the battery seems to drain quick and takes a long time to charge, other than that they're great.

Great if they fit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about these is great. The one issue is user dependent - which is that the ear cups might bother your ears after a while. If they do, maybe the new version is a better choice. If they don’t, lucky you. The price to quality here now is excellent.

||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.

Great value for the price, but an honest opinion
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve tried a lot of noise canceling headphones and most of them either have a poor seal on the earmuffs or not enough white noise to isolate outside noise. These headphones do a great job at balancing noise cancellation and audio quality. The only drawback is the microphone is spotty sometimes when calling someone.

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.
