The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these. I bought as a gift for someone who is not so tech savvy and she is able to use them without an issue. I have the earlier version (WH1000XM3) myself and the noise canceling on the Sony headphones is unmatched. Great Sound Quality. Extremely comfortable as well.

Phenomenal noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these specifically for their noise cancelling capabilities. They do that extremely well. I can block out all of the background traffic and office noise easily without even playing any music. They also excel at music reproduction and the app allows you to tailor the equalizer to your liking. I worry about durability as they are made of plastic and have hinges but so far they seem fine. I only need to charge them every 3 days or so. They can connect to two devices simultaneously.

very comfortable with great noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are very comfortable and do an impressive job with noise cancellation. The sound quality is pretty good but not awesome. The bluetooth connection to my Samsung Galaxy S8 is decent, but could be better, but that's possibly the phone. Battery life is good. Overall I very much like these.

Juat wow!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive never liked over the ear headphones because most arent comfortable. These fit so well, i was shocked at how comfortable they could be. The noise cancelling made my jaw drop. Id never been able to get headphones to fit well enough to experience it until i tried these.

Perfect pair of headphones!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ll keep this short. These are the best headphones I have used for music I feel like they may be a little over priced as almost 400 dollars for any pair of headphones feels like it’s too much lol but luckily I have gotten these on sale! Pick these up as soon as possible! My one gripe and I’m definitely in the minority is that every time I turn on the headphones it goes into noise cancellation mode automatically I wish I could turn that off. I’m not the biggest fan of noise cancellation as it messes with my hearing a bit and makes my ears feel funny.

Great!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these to use on a long plane ride for the ANC. They worked great to dampen the super loud plane ride. The batter lasted the whole 6 hour flight and more. I have been using them as my computer headphones as well and I really like the sound quality. The one issue I have with them is I have to keep turning off the Speak Through feature, which is annoying. I use the app to turn it off but maybe once a week it is turned back on and I go to talk to my cat, dog or wife and it pauses my music/movie and it lasts for too long in my opinion. So I turn it off again. I really wish it would stop doing that.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I highly recommend these headphones. No doubt about it, they are expensive. But I definitely see it as an investment and not so much “breaking the bank”. If you’re annoyed and want to shut out the world, THESE ARE THE HEADPHONES FOR YOU! If you want to feel like you’re in the studio whilst listening to your favorite song, THESE ARE THE HEADPHONES FOR YOU. No joke. Also, they double as earmuffs lol because the ear part is very cushy. Anyway, 10/10, I definitely recommend, plus I would get the warranty… I’m an anxious person and I always get it just in case lol. ONE DOWNSIDE, I feel like on the website the silver color looks more cream colored, and in person they give more silver/gray. I didn’t like that at first but it grew on me!

Excellent Noise Cancellation

THIS is the noise cancelling you want!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't typically review products or give unsolicited recommendations, but I've gotta say, if you need headphones with some SERIOUSLY effective noise cancelling, these are what you want. I loaned mine to my boyfriend last night so he could watch TV while I practiced drums, and he fell asleep on the couch with them for a solid 2 hours while I banged on drums 6 feet from his head.

I Love The Sony - WH-1000XM4 Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Sony - WH-1000XM4 during the Black Friday sale to program to my Bluetooth on my 2022 Samsung S95B OLED 55-inch 4K Smart Television to watch sports, HBO-Max, Showtime, Starz, Epix, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. I love these Sony Headphones and the noise cancelling. The sound quality of these headphones is awesome. I originally purchased the Samsung - Galaxy Buds2 Pro but they didn't feel as comfortable in my ears and sometimes they would get loose in my ears and fall out. Also, I get up to 30 hours with the Sony Headphones before they need recharging. I can practically watch television all day before I need to recharge them. The Samsung Galaxy Pro 2 Earbuds only last about 5 hours before needing to be recharge

Great sound, comfortable to wear, noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use around the house some. Bought for a trip that got canceled. Used recently on a flight and worked great! Plan to use on a road trip in the near future. Have beats flex and a few others similar. The ones that go in ear work good for most part and blocks all noise. My sony are over ear making more comfortable. Blocked all the noise of the plane out. Blocks tv and stuff in house. When someone comes up and takes to be it let's their voice in, I can cover one side and let noise in, I talk and it let's noise in, all automatically. When I take off it pauses my phone or tablet it's connected to. Sound quality is get. They are expensive but worth it if you catch a sale.

No more headaches!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only took off one star bc of the price point. However, if you are able to splurge these are greaaat headphones. While they are not 100% noise cancelling like the AirPods are, they do a pretty good job and are much more comfortable. The sound is entirely better and they do a great job of managing decibels and sound quality. I used to get headaches after wearing earbuds for a while and this has completely resolved it:)

Bad as in really good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well.. ive been saving up for these for a while now.. i work nights and its extremely hard for me to sleep during the day.. i figure l try out sonys anc and listen to some meditation music and see id that works.. the xm4s literally saved my life.. i sleep like a baby every day.. super comfortable, blocks out almost everything when i have some light music playing.. and sound quality is top notch definitely the best headphones ive ever had.. especially with the app you can really fine tune them to fit what your going for.. xm4s are on point! Only minor gripe.. is that i have a really small head haha so most headphones come off pretty easily.. i do wish they made the adjustments a little more accomodating for that.. but its still a lot better than most headphones in that regard.. again super comfortable.. 5 stars for sure!

Nothing beats the sound quality and noise cancelation of these headphones. The battery life is great and these were super easy to pair and update to my Galaxy S20. The touch controls can be a bit finicky at times, but nothing too major.
