Good value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use, sound great. I wear them when working, which is noise with a vacuum and pressure washer. The ANC is good. I can complain for a legacy item. Only thing I don’t love is the case.

Posted .Hi TimothypH,
We are ecstatic to learn that you find the Sony WH-1000XM4 easy to use and sounding great, earning a five-star rating!
It's truly fantastic to hear that the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performs well enough to handle the noise of a vacuum and pressure washer while you work—that's a testament to its quality! We also appreciate your comment regarding the carrying case and will share this feedback with our design team.
Thank you for your excellent review and for choosing Sony!

Deeper bass than AirPods Pro
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.AirPods Pro are my daily drivers but these take the experience to a whole other level. The bass is noticeably louder, and the 360 degree audio is cool. I also like how it can switch between two Bluetooth connections and you almost forget you’re wearing them.

Not for me
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately I did not love these and ended up returning. The set up was not easy, I did not like that I needed to download apps in order for these to connect. They also had trouble connecting at times. The quality for music wasn’t great. Used with apple products (ipad and iphone), and plugged into a windows computer with the wire provided. Another problem is that they do not connect to Windows bluetooth. Now the pros, they do last a while so battery life is great and the noise cancellation is great too. I did not feel discomfort wearing them for a while. Also liked that it announces battery life and when the headphones are off and on.

Posted .Hi MDReview, Thank you for sharing your feedback on the headphones. We are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced. It seems like you faced several challenges with the setup and connectivity, particularly with the need to download apps and the difficulty in connecting to Windows Bluetooth. Additionally, the music quality did not meet your expectations when used with Apple products and a Windows computer and the unit had to be returned.
On the positive side, it's great to hear that you found the battery life and noise cancellation to be excellent, and that the headphones were comfortable to wear for extended periods. The feature of announcing battery life and power status also seems to have been a useful addition for you.
For future reference, if you encounter similar issues with other Sony products, you might find helpful information and support on the Sony Community forums. For example, there are discussions about Bluetooth headphone connection problems and troubleshooting steps for the Sony Headphones Connect app. You can visit the Sony Community or send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com for more details and support.

These are the Cost-Effective Earphones for You.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such a great product: for music lovers, total immersion with resonating music tones that are enriched by noise cancelling technology. Calming. Peaceful. (or for others not into smooth jazz, classical, and artists - rock out).

Amazing headphones for remote working
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only noise cancelling headset I have that does not hurt my ear when wearing for a long time. All my other headset started to hurt my ear due to my glasses. The sound quality is as good as it gets, and mostly due to the limits on the bluetooth bandwidth. I haven't got a chance to try the lossless streaming, but I doubt the current streaming protocol would suggest the bit rate for a true lossless CD.

High Quality Features Delivered
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones really do live up to the hype of other online reviews and customer feedback I reviewed prior to my purchase. Crisp clear sound with enough base to enjoy the songs but not so much that it drowns out the rest of the range. Noise cancelling is perfect for noisy rooms and can be used with variable ambient noise settings. The app is easy to master and it maximizes the headphone's features. The touch control on the headphone ear piece is sensitive and instinctively programmed. Within the headphone price point they are competitively priced, but I am glad I picked them up during the black Friday sales.
