||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, I use them everyday and the customization in the app is really neat too. The bass and volume possibly might make me deaf but who cares lol. Only con is that my headphone ear broke and I can’t get them fixed even though I still have a warranty. They only offer fixing for wear or tears, and there’s a fee (I think $99) with their partnered company or something but they only fix the headband part so…

Posted .Thank you for the review, Chemlah!
We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving the sound and having fun with the custom settings in the app—though we definitely recommend keeping those ears safe so you can enjoy the bass for years to come!
We are, however, concerned to hear about the broken ear cup and the frustration you've experienced with the repair options. While our standard manufacturer’s warranty typically covers internal components and factory defects, we understand how disappointing it is when a physical break occurs on a product you use every day.
We would like to take a closer look at your case to see if there are any other options available for you. Please reach out to us directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones so we can review the details of your situation.
Thank you for being part of the Sony family and for the shout-out to that XM4 bass!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

LOVE THESE THINGS
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these things. Currently I have all types of headphones laying around the house. Sometimes I just buy them to just see what the hype is about. These Sonys are definitely not just laying around. The battery life is amazing, last all day and into the next. The noise cancelling is great, on a plane you really cant hear much with a movie playing and noise cancelling all the way up. The headphones are comfortable and you hardly notice them. I knew the call quality was going to be all there, and i didn't purchase them for calling so I'm not taking a star. It does deserve to be mentioned that the call quality is trash.

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.

Excellent set of bluetooth headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is probably not a lot I can say that hasnt already been said about these headphones but I'll give it a whirl. I was impressed with the sound quality. I was expecting it to sound like a typical pair of popular headphones where the bass is so muddy that it ruins the entire sound. This is fortunately not the case. There is also an equalizer in the app to adjust the sound to your liking. 360 reality audio is mostly a gimic. To start there are very few ways to actually use this. The way I used it was through deezer. There is a special deezer app that allows you to play songs with 360 reality audio. I tried comparing a few songs between the normal deezer app and the 360 reality app. I think I prefer the way it sounds with the normal app. It does sound more open with 360 reality audio but it also sounds more processed. A pair of headphones with a wide sound stage and good imaging sounds far better. I think 360 reality audio would be cool if it could be used games or movies but not with music. The battery life is fantastic. I tend to use it in short bits of maybe 30+ minutes here and there. I find I rarely need to charge them. I dont have a ton of experience with noise cancelling headphones. I was initially a little dissapointed in how much it cancelled. This doesnt block as much noise as something that isolates the noise like a pair of shure or etymotic earbuds. Since thats what I often use I wasnt blown away by the noise cancelling ability like others have been. One thing I was dissapointed in that I havent really seen mentioned anywhere is that you cant connect to two devices and use LDAC at the same time. You have to choose which one you want to use. Higher quality or two devices. All the reviews seem to point out that these headphones support these two great features but fail to mention that you cant use them at the same time. Hopefully they figure out how to make both work at the same time in a future version of these headphones. Until then I tend to mostly treat these as the multipoint feature doesnt exist. Overall, these are a great pair of headphones and would highly recommend them.

Quality Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My last headphones were fake "refurbished" Beats earbuds from Wish that I bought 4 years ago. So preface, my bar was probably pretty low. The battery life and audio quality are awesome. I've been enjoying going back through my music and am really noticing the difference that comes with quality. Also, I use it as a gaming headset and works just fine for that as well. I tried the XM5s in store and although there was a slight improvement in audio and fit, it was not enough to justify the extra money and larger size. As a big-eared individual, the headphones do get uncomfortable after a couple hours. But that's a me problem as all headphones do that and after that long of a time, I should take a break to not worsen my tinnitus.

Posted .Hi AaronG, We are delighted to hear that you've been revisiting your music and appreciating the enhanced quality that the WH-1000XM4 headphones provide. Having read your review regarding the comfort, if you wear the headphones for a long time, your ears may start hurting. Use the headphones while taking breaks periodically. Fortunately, our WH-1000XM4 feature a convenient slider that allows you to adjust the headband length for an optimal fit and comfortable listening experience. Please keep in mind that if you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess
Top Notch noise cancelation, great sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gotta say I'm very pleased with these! My office has several people just outside of it in cubicles and I can hear everything they say. These allow me to enjoy an open door while not having to take part in every conversation they have! Great for productivity! The sound quality is also very high, these are not reference headphones, they are arguably not audiophile grade either, as many audiophiles want a flat frequency response to hear the music as intended. These give you a bit of boost in the bass range, and have a very "fun" sound to them. They last forever on a charge it feels like, and sound good enough they don't have me yearning for my "hifi" pairs back at home.

Best in class
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Sony-WH-100XM4 based on all the positive reviews I’ve watched online. The Headphones are comfortable and light. The sound is great for Bluetooth headphones. Noise canceling works great too. The battery last a long time with Noise canceling enabled. The headphones can connect to two devices at once. The Headphones use touch controls for those interested and you have to download an app to adjust settings. I would certainly recommend these if you’re in the market for a new pair of noise canceling headphones.

I love these headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not an audiophile by an any means, but the sound quality in my opinion is so nice! Comfort wise, I would say the band on top gets a little uncomfy after around an hour of wear.. I don’t tend to wear them for too long, but it would be something to consider if that relates to you. No worries regarding battery life, it holds up far longer than what’s expected in my opinion. Overall really nice, would recommend!

A bit expensive, but worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had my eye on these for a while. I had been holding out because they are a bit expensive. So far, definitely worth it. Noise-canceling is great, very comfortable, they feel nice and sturdy and come with a g hardshell case, battery life is solid, and the touchpad controls are a very unique feature. You can connect to multiple devices at the same time. I also really like that you can customize the sound using the mobile app. Don't know of any other headphones that do that. I will say, if there is no music playing, and the noise-canceling feature is on it feels like there is pressure in your ears. But that's not a big issue.

Best Headphones Hands down!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched a lot of headphones like beat solo 3, studio beats 3,and Bose QC45, and I found that these models of Sony's beat all of them. You can do the research yourself and you'll come up with the same result that these brand of Sony's are far superior in noise cancelation than the other models that I've mentioned bose comes in an incredible 2nd place beats noise cancelations are trash. The sound quality on the Sony's are fantastic. The seamless touch interface on these headphones are fantastic. I recommend these headphones for anybody that wants quality NCH with great sound. I can vacuum my entire house I can do my laundry and never hear any of the machines running or the vacuum running when I'm listening to my music. Well done Sony.

I got the blue pair when I wanted the black, because they didn’t have them. I gave it a try anyway. These are far superior! The ease of connection, the swipe to control the music without touching my phone, and you hold your hand over the cuff to cancel the noise control. I love these and wear them at home, work and the gym! If your considering these- don’t hesitate! You’ll love them! They are very light and even after hours I am not sweaty at all. The app is easy to use also. Thanks Best Buy!
