Absolutely unreal
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling alone just when you put them on your head while powered off is amazing. Turned on? Oh my goodness. Fired up the "Blade Runner" vinyl and quickly had my mind blown. The Sony Headphones app is great and easily allows you to connect to devices, update firmware, EQ and more. I would give this an extra star if I could.

Posted .Hi Mike, good to know that you're enjoying the awesome features of the headphones particularly the noise canceling function and the Sony Headphones Connect app. Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music. The addition of Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 masterfully eliminates the noise around you. Listen all day with up to 30 hours of battery life. Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.
To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Love these
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these on sale for a great deal.. Amazing sound quality. My TV wouldn't turn up the volume high enough for my liking so I use an aux chord to my controller. I use the dolby atmos app on my Xbox and it really brought these headphones to life. It makes games and movies sound much more full and dynamic. Using them on my phone is flawless. Music sounds fantastic and podcast sound rich. The app is easy to use and I like that you can adjust the eq settings. The noise canceling works great too!

Excellent all around
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. I had the originals and decided to upgrade to the Mk 4s. The noise cancellation is amazing. I can sit right next to a window air conditioner and hear nothing but silence. Sound quality is very good in most aspects. The bass is a little heavy at low volume and a little light at very high volumes, but overall it's still pleasing. The speak to talk feature is clever. And the ability to focus on voices and filter out other sounds works better than I expected. All in all, I'm pleased.

Simply the best
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the first generation MDR-1000X for nearly 4 years. It's finally the time to upgrade! The Mark 4 has excellent sound quality and NC capabilities. I love the multi-point function, which solved a long-standing pain point for the 1000X series and is perfect for working from home.

The music sounds so incredibly clear and I like that I’m able to custom the listen quality to my liking. My only issue with these is they take a while to connect to my phone but I believe that’ll stop over time since they’re still pretty new.

Perfect Feature Set
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first major headphone purchase in a while, and I do not regret it. I bought these to replace my Beats Studios from 2011 after they finally kicked the bucket and everything is a huge upgrade. The ANC, features in the app, auto pause, two devices at once, ambient sound when talking to anyone. I could go on an on but they aree perfect for my needs as a software developer working from home. I would recommend these to anyone as these are the best headphones I have ever owned.

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones sounds great after using the in-app equalizer, though the reliance on the app is a negative for me. Also, the touch buttons are trash. Though this is made up for by the best in class noise cancellation.
