Slightly better than previous gen.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the XM3 and they were great. Only issue was the battery started losing it's charge after 2 days of minimum use. These are better in noise cancelling and comfort with thicker cushions on the ears and on the crown of your head. GET THEM!!

Noise canceling is great. It works well with my phone. Battery life is awesome. I just with my phone would use the LDAC codec but that's not the headphones fault.

Best in class noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant to spend this much on a set of headphones that I would be using for things like biking, working out, outdoor work but after using these for a few weeks I am incredibly happy with the build quality, convenience features, and anc performance. They have been dropped several times and hit a tree branch, still in perfect shape. ANC on these is amazing, truly the best in class until Bose releases their equivalent. The Sony headphones connect app used with the headphones works great so far as well. The automatic audio passthrough works great 99% of the time, the only thing I have found that activated it when not intended are loud lawn mowers but turning that setting off takes all of 1 button press in the app. Finally the most important part, sound quality is fantastic as expected by Sony's flagship ANC headphones.

Mom's Headphones from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were purchased for my mom as she lives in a building where folks have music going till late, loud parties in the summer till the wee hours and the Boom of the Base rolls through her apartment. We initially looked at other brands that offer noise cancelling headphones, yet Sony is a name we have purchased in the past and it never disappoints with regard to quality and sound. The color is also a nice alternative to black or red. Mom can still kick it but does so on her own terms with her own music, or just sitting quietly without all the noise. These headphones are priced right and were the right choice for our mom.

Posted .Hi AlexaP.
That's fantastic to hear! We're thrilled you're loving your Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones and that their noise canceling and sound isolation are hitting the mark for you. We appreciate your honest feedback about the fit. While we design our headphones for a comfortable experience for a wide range of users, we understand that head size and shape can vary, and sometimes they might feel a little big.
It's great to know that, despite that minor point, you still love them overall! Thank you for your 5-star review and thanks for choosing Sony!
