Worth It
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live by a freeway and these block out 95% of the traffic noise it's amazing! Super comfortable too. Friend has also said that they can hear me clearly when I call them over Skype. Definitely get the app and customize your own sound dynamics for best results!

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I swear by these headphones. I'm really bad at taking care of things, i've thrown these around so much especially since I work in a warehouse and move around so much they've definitely hit the ground a lot. I needed these because everything is so loud I rather listen to music. Plus they get really dirty so i wipe them cleaned every night and they still work through everything I put them through! The best part is the battery life I always get surprised when they tell me theyre going to die because it seems like I hardly charge them lol. If they ever stop working im pretty sure i'd just but another pair of these.

Truly amazing sound & active noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously purchased the wh-1000xm3's in July because I needed a pair of excellent sounding ANC headphones. I knew the xm4's would come out eventually but I needed something then. Shortly after I purchased the xm3's the announcement of the xm4's happened & I received them in time to return the xm3's but not without comparing them. Like most reviews state, the look & style is nearly identical between both. The ear cups are a little bit bigger on the xm4's. Even though the xm4's don't have as many Bluetooth codecs as the xm3's they still sound amazing & I am very picky about sound quality. I could not notice any differences between the two models playing the same music in the same environment. The xm3's may have slightly better soundstage separation but it is a very small difference. The ANC is a little better in the xm4's & they also have multipoint Bluetooth. That means I can have them connected to my computer & phone without having to manually connect it to one source at a time. That is a really nice convenience & it works flawlessly for me. The xm3's are great headphones but the xm4's just take it farther & are more user friendly. I whole heartedly recommend these headphones if you want amazing sound with class leading ANC. You will not be disappointed!

These are the Cost-Effective Earphones for You.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such a great product: for music lovers, total immersion with resonating music tones that are enriched by noise cancelling technology. Calming. Peaceful. (or for others not into smooth jazz, classical, and artists - rock out).

Overall good
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall amazing headphones, love the audio quality as a person who has bought a lot of main stream over the ear headphones. I’d say these aren’t for heavy gym users. The band is pretty will and it’ll fall when laying down in my experience

Posted .Hi Marco,
We appreciate your positive remarks on the WH-1000XM4 Headphones' outstanding audio quality, and it's great to hear they stand out among mainstream options. We understand your concerns regarding stability during heavy movement, like at the gym or when lying down, as these headphones are optimized more for premium listening and travel comfort rather than intense physical activity. For a more secure fit during exercise, you might consider our sport-focused models, which are specifically designed to handle greater movement and sweat resistance.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best noise-canceling headphones...
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are a lot of reviews out there on these headphones, so I won't go through everything. Bottom line - if you want the best noise canceling at a reasonable price, get these. They go on-sale a lot, so wait if you can. Other than that, it does a lot of things average to above-average, but not necessarily great. Audio is fine, but there are better sounding headphones out there. The app works pretty well and gives you a great deal of customization. Speak-to-chat is a nice feature, but one I think I will rarely use (triggers to easily). The ambient sound control is a good mode, but not as good as a true transparency mode. Adaptive sound control is a nice feature, but I just tend to disable it. The build quality is all plastic, but does not feel cheap. You can get better build quality in other headphones for a premium. The call quality is just ok. It is a step above the XM3's, but still well below a number of other headphones. So, as I said at the beginning, if you want industry-leading noise canceling and a lot of other features done well (but not the best), you should get these. For most people, these headphones will do all they need, and more, so I do recommend them.

Incredible features, incredible sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones don’t come cheap, that’s for sure, but they are most certainly worth it. The amount of different functions don’t has added to these this year is incredible! The first thing is the “headset off, music pause” feature. When you take the headphones off they instantly pause and when you put them on they resume. Super convenient! Next thing is the ambient noise feature. If you place your whole hand on the right headphone it automatically lowers the sound and plays the ambient sound around you, making quick comments to people easy to do without taking off the headphones. The final thing I want to mention is the conversation feature. When you speak the headphones recognize it and pause your music letting in amplified ambient noise, allowing you to have a conversation. It then turns off after not detecting your voice for a set amount of time or when you double tap to resume music. These are just a few features that are already making my life more fun and musical and less difficult. I would definetely recommend these! Reminder that I only mentioned 3 of many many features! I didn’t even talk about automatic noise cancelling based on location, an equalizer in the app, 360 surround sound, personalized sound based on ear shape, and way more!

Sony = one of the best.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable. I bought my girlfriend a pair of Klipsch on-ear headphones a few years ago that she used mostly for flights. Her ears would get sore, so I decided to give my brother the Klipsch and buy her a set of these. She loves them. They sound a bit better and have noise-cancelling.
