Sounds great !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound fantastic. They are quite comfortable, although I do notice a little tension in my neck and behind my ears sometimes if I have them on for more than a couple hours. They feel nice, great quality and sleek, matte black. I would definitely recommend these !

Sony - WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-t
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these during the Black Friday deals and I do not regret my decision. The active noise cancellation is excellent, the sound quality is great, and the comfort when using these headphones has been great so far but they do get a bit uncomfortable if listening for a long time.

You made the right choice! 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.
You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage.
Sony takes feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!

Best wireless headphones EVER!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is awesome, so comfortable to wear. I use them to listen to audiobooks without disturbing anyone around me. Also late night TV bothers no one else and I can hear like it was a theatre. Stereo surround sound is awesome! I made a great purchase!

JUST DO IT ALREADY
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned the Bose NC 700 for these... After using both for about 2 weeks 8 hours a day for work, I can confidently give my results.... BOSE had the better NC and phone call quality... However, Sony wins on every other aspect you can imagine... Sound quality is substantially better with music and voices in general.. Not to mention you can also adjust the frequencies to your own liking.. The app is a little weird and not every feature is fully explained on the Sony headphones, but I am so glad I got them.. There are already a lot of lengthy reviews but basically between these two, I would go sony every time.. Noise cancelling is amazing but just not quite up to par with bose in my opinion.. There are different reviews stating otherwise but IN AN OFFICE SETTING, I can hear my keyboard when I type having the sony headphones on.. With BOSE, I could not hear my keyboard... However I keep hearing sony blocks more overall frequency but I have just not been in the situation to compare.

Great for Home or Mobile Use
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work great, not ideal for studio quality sound engineering, but apart from that the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. If you need studio quality, get wired.

Posted .Thank you for your fantastic review, toastmalone!
We are thrilled to hear that you consider the WH-1000XM4 the best pair of headphones you’ve ever owned! That is high praise, and we are so pleased they are delivering a superb listening experience.
We also appreciate your insightful feedback on studio quality. You are absolutely correct—for the flat, uncolored frequency response required for professional sound engineering, a dedicated wired monitor headphone is always the best choice.
Thank you again for choosing Sony!

Just wow
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m sure you’ve heard how well the headphones are already so I’m gonna keep it short: Save up for it if you can, do 4 installment payment method, something! These headphones are so worth it! I’m a noise canceling QUEEN and these headphones deliver one of the best sounds I’ve ever had. With Apple airpod max you might get great sound as well but one thing about apple accessories is that they don’t last long. These Sonys will literally last you forever and the app literally allows you to customize your liking on how you want your audio and the clearity mode makes you hear everything it’s quite amazing.

Noise cancelling headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It really cancels out noise when you just want to lock in. Really helped me during my days to study for the boards. I love going to cafe, but sometimes it could get really loud, but with this device. It helped me focus better because of the noise cancellation it provides.
