SONY “BEATS” the competition - Worth the $$$
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are going to spend the money on headphones, these are worth the money. There is no competition, they are better than Beats & Bose easily. Beats are extremely uncomfortable, these fit over the ear really well and can be worn all day.

Best value in wireless headphone
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared these to Bose, JBL, Sennheisser, and several other brands.

So worth it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven't owned over-ear headphones in years but I'm getting tired of earbuds. Switched from Galaxy Buds Pro 2 to these and I don't regret it. They're not the most intuitive for touch control but once you figure it out it's very simple. Love the volume control option. I would recommend these for sure.

Not impressed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality, but not the best. Bass could be better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM4, SamraS. We appreciate your positive note on the sound quality and understand your expectations regarding bass performance.
The WH-1000XM4 offers several features that allow users to customize the audio experience to their liking. If you'd like deeper or stronger bass, we recommend adjusting the equalizer settings either through the Sony Headphones Connect app or your audio source. Settings such as "Bass Boost" or manual tuning of lower frequencies can help enhance bass response and tailor the sound to your preferences. Additionally, using high-quality audio codecs like LDAC or AAC can further improve overall sound quality and bass detail when paired with compatible devices.
We value input like yours, as it helps us continue improving our products. If you have any more suggestions or questions about optimizing your WH-1000XM4, please let us know.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
