Best Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve used them for a few months now and the quality has not slipped since! Battery life is 10/10, the option to use it with the cable and not need it to be charged is a game changer.

Awesome headphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the WH1000XM2 and I love it. This one is even better. So many great features. I love that you can use the app to customize the sound. Worth every penny. I’m super happy with it. I got the blue one and the color is pretty. It’s almost black.

- Pros mentioned:Bass
Good but not Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but not great. The bass is hands down really good. The mids I can’t seem to get down to my taste but highs are good. Overall they do provide a good sound experience. The app is ok because of the equalizer but aside from that it sucks. The dual device connection is crap. They sometimes connect without any problems but 8 out of 10 times it doesn’t connect. Sometimes it says the headset connects to my iPhone but the app will say it’s not. I have to delete all connections and start all over. Overall on sale they’re worth the buy. Full retail...wouldn’t recommend.

Currently, these are the best I've used
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried various models/brands of noise cancelling headphones, and these are the best overall. The NC works really well, the audio is really good, including bass delivery without crushing the mids. I think these are a bit better than the v3 in sound, and maybe a little in NC, but the differences are not huge. These seem to have less of a plastic "creak" when handling than the v3.

Long use
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been using it for more than a year. Perfect, no issues. The headphone has no quality issues, but overall the sound cancellation makes the music sound small when I am in public. I charge it once and I can use it for 10-15 hours.

BEST HEADPHONES
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I have everrrrr owned. Although I kind of regret buying the headphones in black and I wished I should've bought them in silver. Anyways it doesn't matter the quality and sound of these headphones are amazing! I also enjoyed the noise-canceling option, I can finally stop hearing my upstairs neighbors from doing a ton of noise.

Good, not Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not an Audiophile, but I Love music, especially when I can hear and distinguish each instrument. I really like when I can hear the drumsticks taping the symbols. These headphones sound really good, but to my ears, they don't let me hear individual instruments so well. I returned them and are still searching. Wish I still had my old Radio Shack Realistic headphones from the 70's.

Posted .Hi Pminter,
Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones didn't meet your preference for hearing individual instruments. It sounds like you have a great ear for detail, a quality that's often best served by headphones with a more neutral sound profile. If you're still looking for that detailed sound, we invite you to check out our latest model, the Sony WH-1000XM6. They feature a new driver unit and audio processor specifically designed to deliver a clearer, more precise soundstage, making it easier to distinguish each instrument and hear the subtle details you're after.
Thank you for considering Sony products!
Best regards,
Dominick
