Don't fly without them!

Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have helped tremendously in long flights, especially when babies are on board. If you turn on the noise canceling and put ear plugs or the air plane ear buds underneath, you won't be able to hear anything.

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

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing headphones. I own A LOT of electronics, and these would be near or at top of them all. The sound quality is a 6 out of 5 (clarity and ANC). Call quality is not as great -- mic sounds muffled and the active noise cancellation (ANC) turns off -- but I just have to give these a 5.

Great upgrade from the WH-1000XM2
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved my XM2, but the biggest downside for me was that they weren't as comfortable. The tips of my ears would get sore after a couple of hours or so. The XM4 has improved cushioning, fitting a lot better around my ears. The multi-point feature took a bit to set up, but once it was up and running, it was great switching back and forth between my phone and laptop.

GreatProduct
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this for my son. He studied the features of different brands and ultimately chose this one. So far he has been super happy with it. He is in college and studying from home, so a head phone is a must have item. I thought price was too high, but similar products with the similar quality was around same price range. So I stayed with his choice.

Great for Home or Mobile Use
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work great, not ideal for studio quality sound engineering, but apart from that the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. If you need studio quality, get wired.

Posted .Thank you for your fantastic review, toastmalone!
We are thrilled to hear that you consider the WH-1000XM4 the best pair of headphones you’ve ever owned! That is high praise, and we are so pleased they are delivering a superb listening experience.
We also appreciate your insightful feedback on studio quality. You are absolutely correct—for the flat, uncolored frequency response required for professional sound engineering, a dedicated wired monitor headphone is always the best choice.
Thank you again for choosing Sony!
