2nd pair from Sony! Love them.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The most comfortable headset that cancels enough noise and yet doesn't make me feel like I won't hear if there was an emergency that I would not be aware of. I need to be distraction free at work, yet still aware if someone needs to get my attention. These work perfectly!

Top notch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is top notch, the bass is remarkable, the only slight zonk is the noise cancelling could be slightly better, and there is a learning curve due to being feature packed. The design quality and materials used are also of a high standard, down to the included carrying case is smartly designed, with some thoughtful features.

hearing impaired.
||Posted .

Amazing Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great. The noise cancelling is great though does hurt my head after a while because it applies pressure. The fitment is quite good. But I give it 4 stars because recently I have had a problem, the headphones will randomly disconnect from my phone. It doesn’t happen often but if it didn’t happen at all, I would give this product 5 stars.

Great Headset!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headset! Was hesitant at first as I don't have over the ear headphones. Mine generally been in ear. It did hurt my ear on first use, but has since gone away now that I have adjusted the headset. Able to wear it several hours with no issue. It is comfortable. Great noise cancellation. Purchased this for long travel and to reduce noise. Sounds just as good.

Good noise canceling, terrible microphone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking for noise canceling with good audio, this is great. But because it's Bluetooth, whenever the microphone is active, the audio quality drops significantly. Would not suggest for any use case that needs a microphone

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, user889544.
We're pleased to hear that you find the WH-1000XM4 headphones to be great for noise canceling with good audio when listening to music or other content.
We certainly understand your frustration regarding the audio quality drop when the microphone is active, such as during a call or video conference. This is a common characteristic of Bluetooth technology: when the microphone is engaged, the headset often switches to a lower-bandwidth profile (like HFP or HSP) to prioritize the simultaneous transmission of both microphone audio and speaker audio, which results in a necessary reduction in overall fidelity.
While this is an inherent limitation of the current Bluetooth standard, we truly appreciate you highlighting it as a major point of consideration for users who rely heavily on the microphone.
Thank you again for providing this honest and specific feedback and for choosing Sony!

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They cancel sound great, or at least softens loud noises, good sound quantity, they are really comfortable and I love the color. If you take them off it pauses what you are listening to and resumes when you put them back on. The only annoying feature is if I say something or clear my throat it pauses, but resumes about 20 seconds later on its own. All in all 5 stars.
