Great investment!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They definitely block out most if not all the outside noises. I'm happy with my purchase. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they're bulky, touchy when working out, and they didn't come with at least a travel pouch. They worked perfectly for my flight. The battery life is on point.

A solid headset with overbearing noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall design of the headset is great, good quality, has a good carrying case, and it's very comfortable to wear. The sound quality it also fantastic and very customizable via their app. However the noise canceling feature is overbearing, making it feel like you're listening to your music and the hum of an airplane at the same time. I have tried this and the Bose noise canceling 700. I found the Sony pair to be a more comfortable and better sounding headset, but the Bose clearly outclassed it in noise canceling performance.

Posted .Hi PineappleBoard, We're sorry to hear your issue with the headphones. 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.
Intelligent and intuitive, the WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. Meanwhile, the Equalizer lets you customize sound levels to suit your music. Thank you for sharing your feedback. Jay
The new headphone king!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of cans and a welcomed improvement over the XM3's. Just looking at it from the outside you might say these are the Xm3's however the ear cups are 10% bigger, which is great for those with big ears (not me), and the new blue color is a welcomed addition to the line up. Along with the bigger ear cups, the sound stage for these is more well rounded or "flatter" than it's predecessor and for those who want more bass in everything they listen to, they might be disappointed however if you want to listen to audio the way it was intended then these are better than the XM3's. I have actually tested these since I still have my XM3's and can confirm that the bass is naturally more pronounced than in the XM4's however I found that the sound overall was better and had more "room" along with detail in the XM4's. Going back to the XM3's after listening to the XM4's sounded more muddy and crowded in my opinion as well. Another perk is that these can now connect to 2 devices at once in the Sony companion app and if you do like more bass in your music in general, you can tweak the EQ, but at that point you might as well buy the XM3's which is still a great buy compared to other headphones around the same price tag.

To Many Stars
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These do, what they do, better than most headphones on the market. The noise canceling is great. The isolation these provide is exceptional yet, still give you a sense of spaciousness. They are extremely comfortable, and you can wear these all day, no issues. People like to say that the plastic here is High Quality, but they are still plastic. $300 headphones. No matter how tough they may be, should not feel like they will break into a bunch of pieces when you drop them. Surely they are not, but I have $100 bluetooth speakers that feel higher quality than these. Just for reference, I own a Sony TV, and Sony A series camera, so I am accustomed to the quality of the their products. I even had an original Walkman, back in the day but, I digress. That being said, these do not sound great. Because the noise isolation is so good, I could never get that feeling of being underwater, out of my sound field. The highs are not as clean as I would like then. The mids are too full without enough clarity. The bass can never be realized even with equalizer tweaks, and sounds overly tight. These are not neutral, nor are the punchy so you are left in a world that you just get used to. I wanted to like these, as the reviews are Out of This World. Thousands of sparking reviews. Guess my hearing is just a bit off, and I do not have have $1200 to buy all the different like priced headphones, so I guess I am stuck with these. If you have the opportunity to listen to these in store, try to. If not, make sure you get these back before the return period. They will not start magically sounding better, just because of other people's reviews. If features are more important than sound, these are the headphones for you.

Sony’s best ANC to date
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried the Bose 700. I like the sound quality of the Sony better. The Bose is slightly more comfortable on my head but I do not like the midrange sound quality of the Bose. You have to try and listen to both for a direct comparison. The Sony app is very well made. The Sony’s are best on flights to get rid of the engine and people yakking loudly near you to listen to your high quality music.

10/10 Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I adore these. Super comfy lasts for days of occasional listening or about two ish days of almost non stop listening. I really like the app and the different sound profiles that are premade and available. The noise canceling is amazing also. It’s not 100% but it sure tries its hardest to give it to you.

The best noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After much search and research I decided to buy and keep this headphones. Balanced sound, the major sell point is its battery life, i can go over 24 hours with it without needing recharge. Noise cancellation works amazingly. The sound though, it is good but not the greatest (because the sound is balanced). To make the sound great you have to use an equalizer.

Great unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read a lot of reviews before purchasing the xm4 headset. I am very happy with these. I am not a music expert but I know what I like being of the older generation. I amazed by the noise cancelation, sound and battery life of the unit. The one problem is after a couple of hours having the on my ear start to sweat so I take them off.

Roku soundbar & LG TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the sound quality. They hook up easily to my Roku soundbar and LG tv. My complaint is that they do not easily switch from tv to phone if I get a call while watching. Very disappointing feature but I basically use them for my tv so it isn’t a dealbreaker.
