Sounds great, some quirky features
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have excellent quality sound with great battery life. They do shut off when you lay down if the automatic shut off is activated. Simple fix but kind of a weird feature. The blue LED light blink randomly. Unsure how to stop that from happening.

Sony mark 4
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second time purchasing this product. I initially bought a pair for myself and decided to buy a pair for my wife, because she kept stealing mine! They’re that good. Highly recommend. I also opted to buy these even with the mark 6’s available, because these headphones are reliable and get the job done in so many ways!!

Posted .Hi RamseyS,
That is a wonderful compliment to the WH-1000XM4—so good you needed a second pair! It sounds like your wife has great taste!
It’s completely understandable why you chose the XM4s again. They truly are an incredibly reliable and high-performing pair of headphones, and many people appreciate their perfect balance of excellent noise cancellation, superior sound quality, and exceptional comfort for long listening sessions.
Enjoy your two pairs of fantastic, reliable headphones!

Over Ear Headphones Done Right!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very pleased with these headphones. I was originally looking for Beats or Bose, but the Sony headphones had a lot more consistent reviews. The noise canceling is good, but the snug fit, big pillowed ear pieces, and contoured design make them extremely quiet, without even turning them on. The sound is clear and concise with good bass notes.

Posted .Hi JaimeR,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the sound quality and comfort of the headphones. Your feedback about the design is greatly appreciated. While the WH1000XM4 headphones don’t have an IPX rating, simple workout routines like walking shouldn’t be of concern. If you sweat a lot or for more serious workouts, you may want to consider the WF-C500, WF-1000XM4, or WF-1000XM5.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Great Set of Wireless Cans!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're here then you probably know how good these headphones are and having had them to toy with for the last few days I'm quite happy with my purchase. The ANC is amazing, it's been a great boon to my work from home. Additionally it's great that I have an easy way to take calls, listen to music and switch audio between my computer and phone with ease. The only downsides are call quality is just ok, it's not gonna blow your mind but there are better options if calls are your primary use case. Additionally the LDAC is not available when you have two devices connected. Minor gripes and far exceeded by all the positives. If your willing to splurge on a set of wireless headphones these are a great pick.
