Customer Ratings & Reviews

True sound at its' best ALL of the time! They also cancel sound completely when you want no sound at all. They are lightweight and comfortable you will fall asleep with them on & its ok superb design allows for it. These are it for me.

I read a lot about the various wireless headphone options and decided these would work well for me. I have not been disappointed. The case is nice. Has a quality look and provides a good level of protection. The headphones look and feel high quality. Not at all blingy, more understated. The headband and ear pads are well padded and comfortable for extended listening sessions. Pairing is extremely easy. The phone app is well integrated and easy to use. The included quick start information is probably enough for most folks, but Sony has some great video's and more detailed instructions available online. There are only two physical buttons, and they feel positive and work well. The touch control using the right earpad is simple, and works well. The proximity sensor in the left ear cup pauses what you are listening to if you lift the left ear cup or take off the headphones. Holding your hand over the right ear cup mutes the level down so you can hear ambient sounds better, or have a conversation. The chat to pause feature works well, and can be turned off. If you start talking it pauses what you are listening to. The adjustment level for ambient noise works well and provides some graphic's that provide some guidance for various environments. A quick press of the power button brings a voice that tells you the battery charge status. The sound is impressive. Very impressive. I listen to a lot of high res music, I primarily use the LDAC codec and have been extremely impressed by the audio quality. Listening to high quality FLAC files you will hear nuances of the music you probably haven't heard before. LDAC really blurs the line between wired and wireless. I would recommend these to anyone that values quality audio and effective noise cancelling. Even without the superb noise cancelling these would be worthwhile for the audio performance alone. Sony got everything about these right, including the app.

Great fit, very comfortable. Lightweight and very well made. Sound quality is excellent. Bass is well balanced.

These are a great gift for someone who works out. My wife has worn them to run, to chill in the steam room, and in the rain. They come with a nice case, and they fold flat, which makes them easy to store. The battery life and noise cancellation are also great, and there’s hardly any noise coming out when you’re wearing them, even with the music at full blast.

Tremendous especially for the price. Don’t need to upgrade to the version 5 or 6 if you can still get these. Comfortable. Don’t smudge. Clear sounding. Noise canceling is insane. You’ll hear only your inner thoughts lol.

These have been in use for the past several months and I love mine. True audiophiles might pickup issues in the sound profile, but you aren't really getting anything better than these at this price point. Very comfortable overall and have been using it on long haul flights too. The noise cancellation is pretty decent too.

Best headphones you will ever buy, top of the line audio, build quality is good but I would still handle with care considering they are mostly plastic. Charges fast and definitely last 30 hours without extreme mode and equalizer turned up. The pairing and the app are very simple and straight forward. Not bulky at all, on the slim side actually. Super comfortable, easy to wear for hours with little to no ear stress.

I love thesd headphones. They cancel out chatterbox coworkers. The sound is great and they feel comfy on the ears. I would buy again. Battery charge is great.

This headphone is worth it. Of all the headphone I've EVER used, this is the best one. They're comfortable, better battery life, and really great control functionality. Definitely recommend this for someone who needs a high quality headphone!

So far the sound quality and battery life have been great. The headset is comfortable enough to wear all day and the microphone has been working great for all my meetings as well as phone calls. I haven't had them that long so I'm still figuring things out, but being able to connect to two devices and have it pause music on my laptop to answer a phone call has been a huge help while working from home. These are an expensive pair of headphones, but you definitely get what you pay for.

These are by far the best headphones I’ve owned. I am very sensitive to noise specially when studying, and these are perfect for canceling it. They are very comfortable, too. Battery lasts all day

Got some lower quality noise cancelling headphones for Christmas (anker) but as more and more people came in the office the noise cancelling just couldn’t deal. So I did some research and after listening to co workers bose and Sonys (previous gen). I decided on the Sonys and waited for a deal to come along. Sound quality is excellent, and they are comfortable to wear. Sound reproduction is great and they are a lot more comfortable than my previous models. Features that I thought were gimmicky during initial research are actually quite nice. The music stopping when you remove the head phones or the gesture controls on the right ear, are actually super handy and make for a good experience. There is some stuff that might be useful to creatures of habit that i don’t use ie the location based settings in the Sony app. They are great headphones use the Sony app to customize to your taste and you will be happy. The case is super well built I don’t know if I will ever actually use the old two prong airline adapter but being able to use the headphones wired without a charge is a nice feature. Early in my career I worked a lot in live sound so wireless headphones were always kind of a convenient gimmick that sacrificed quality in the name of not being tied to something with a wire. These are excellent units that I use to block out the world at the office and join conference calls with excellent tool and appliance that I also enjoy.

I recently bought these after using the second generation version from 2017 with no issues. I didn't need to upgrade them as they were still in good shape but I passed them on to my son and got these for myself. Though my original pair were fine the upgrades on these have really improved and built on the foundation of previous gens to keep Sony top of class in noise canceling, feel and build quality. That's not to mention their rich sound. They are perfect to use in the gym and I don't have to worry about charging them every day because they have such a long battery life. I'll be enjoying these for as long or longer than my last pair from 2017!

Great sound. Crisp and clear. Super comfortable. Nice and study. Touch controls are very convenient.

I have put off buying over ear headphones for a long time because I wear glasses and get headaches easily, so the thought of something clamping down on my head and resting on any pressure points really turned me off. But I've found myself going out and about more and my AirPods Pro were starting to show their age, so I grabbed these during a sale. I thought about getting the AirPods Max for awhile until I learned how much heavier they are compared to these. Lightweight was really crucial for me. I also preferred these "older" models compared to the XM5 because they fold into a smaller case. The sound is really fantastic and the noise canceling is much better. I still honestly can't wear them for a long period of time because I start to feel the pressure points on the top of my head and where they're pushing my glasses arms into my skull, but that's a me problem and not the headphones. I still use my AirPods sometimes, but these are better for flights and working in coffee shops or other noisy areas.

So far, so good. I wasnt sure about purchasing the Sony product as I've bought Bose for my other audio products, but I loke these very much. Bought online so didn't have ability to compare as i would in store. Sound quality is good and i loke being able to adjust on the equalizer. The controls are easy to use, as is the app. The noise canceling is very good, but found that when i dont want it on, it sometimes automatically comes on by itself. They are Fairly comfortable and I was able to use them on a four hour flights without issue. Battery life is awesome. Overall, happy with my purchase so far.

First, the good. The sound quality is incredible. ANC works great, audio sounds fantastic and crisp out of the box. Setup is simple (as long as you are using a single device; more on this in a moment) with either a phone or a computer. The headset is lightweight and easy to wear for hours at a time. Now the bad: The touch-sensitive buttons are bad. They regularly just didn't do anything. They're unintuitively designed and feel like a bargain-brand implementation of what is considered a high-end function. The headset mode vs headphone mode is also not great. There's no way to control side-tone in headset mode, which means that the great noise cancelling function is all but useless when using it as a headset (like meetings and phone calls). Also, not being able to turn the headset on while charging is ridiculous. I am an extremely heavy user (like 6-10 of active use per day), so charging while using is critical to me. Using the headset with multiple devices is great if those devices are computers, but terrible if one is a phone. If you get a phone call while using it on a computer, the phone call takes over (without the ability to override this that I am aware of). Then to reconnect to the computer the only way I've got it to work is to turn the headphone off and on again. When I'm in the middle of a meeting, this is not ideal. If you care about audio quality above all else, it's easy to recommend, but overall usability makes this difficult to recommend to most people, especially for the premium price.

Great sound! Great Bass! Runs a little hot on the ears, but over all really great headphones

These headphones are great! They have pretty solid connectivity and the sound is phenomenal. Coming from AirPod pros, I don’t think it was a huge jump but still nice. They are comfortable but I’ve found wearing them for more than a few hours can make my head hurt eventually. I loved these so much I bought a pair for my sister as well. Bonus that these go on sale pretty often and are totally worth the money

These Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones are phenomenal! They are every bit as good as headphones twice their price and more!! Pick them up at Best Buy on sale and you have a real sweet price on a great product. My last 4 Headphones has been Sony! Paired against "Beats" Headphones The Sony WH-1000M4 produce "True" sound! Outstanding battery life! I highly recommend them!
