    sound great, not better than apple airpods max but hey, E for effort. would recommend. def a lot lighter and more comfortable, bass is present but not the best. again, spend $500 on Airpods max, you’ll probably regret it… or maybe you won’t. what do i know? i’m just trying to get a shot at a $400 best buy gift card for writing this review. cheers everyone.

    My third purchase of these headphones. Very reliable, good battery life, and great noise cancellation. Very great sound, and a lot of options. Connecting to two devices is especially useful when you are connected to your computer and phone. Compared to other options on the market, this is very well priced. Check for Labor Day and Black Friday deals on this pair for an even better deal.

    I will use these headphones until the end of time wow they're expensive (definitely wait until a sale or black friday) because if you take good care of them, they will last you an eternity! Super good quality, super good sound quality + noise cancelling, and super portable if you're out and about a lot. I use these for music, gaming, calls, and basically everything.

    Awesome sound quality. Tried the Bose quietcomfort initially and returned them for these instead. I used them on a trans Atlantic flight and it was incredible, couldn't hear the airplane at all. Battery seriously lasts FOREVER and the foldability is very convenient.

    These are really nice and comfortable to wear and the audio quality is great. Noise cancellation is amazing however there's a flaw that seems to still be present from the last version of these XM3. They will be going back to the store and back to Sony. There's an issue where suddenly you start to hear wind noise in one or the other ear. I've seen people say it's moisture related (Just wearing them in the house doing desk work, no working out) and I've heard others say it's not. If you search for this issue online you'll find many others that have had this exact same issue. Either way I started getting this issue only a week into owning them and for the cost of these, I ended up returning to the store and will wait for something better to come along or if Sony is able to fix what is clearly a historical issue with the noise cancellation circuits. I REALLY wanted these to work. For comfort, sound quality, ease of use these all beat Sony's major competitor out there for noise cancellation headphones.

    I absolutely love these headphones. The sound is fantastic and customizable with a basic EQ. You have the ability to connect 2 Bluetooth devices simultaneously, and the ability to use a wired 1/8” headphone connection for non Bluetooth devices. And the battery life is really forgiving, I don’t feel like I constantly have to worry about whether they are charged because of their battery capacity.

    I love these headphones. I’m sad Best Buy no longer sells it directly but they are affordable and sound great. Mine broke at the hinge. I now have the xm6s which are amazing but I wish they had bass like the xm4s and maybe the same comfort.

    Best purchase ever made. I never realized how much of a stress-reducer NC headphones could be. Clamping is just enough pressure to keep them from falling off. Sturdy, but lightweight enough I have forgotten I have them on. I’d sleep in them if I was not a side sleeper. Only downside is the crazy short charging cable. However, if your cellphone uses the same type of charging cable, you’re fine. A bit pricey, but I regret NOTHING. Skip Bose and grab these. (Sorry, Bose. I still love you, but your headphones hurt my head and “crunch” too much when they flex.) I purchased the Midnight Blue pair. Very pretty color.

    Improvement over XM3

    I acquired this unit as an upgrade to my XM3. I find it more comfortable on my oval head than the XM3. I welcome the chat feature, multipoint Bluetooth and auto pause that activates when removing the headset. None of these are essential, but really convenient. Collectively they make the upgrade very worthwhile for me. The sound quality seems a little better but I need to study that more. Ear cups better because a little larger and perhaps lighter. Passing the XM3 down to my son, who will think he has struck gold.

    Very good sound quality and noice canceling. There could be better insulation from outside noise and although the headphones do an amazing job in most environments, they struggle to cancel out certain noises in real time, such as in a coffee shop. I love that they can be used both wired and wirelessly, so sound quality doesn't have to be sacrificed. The app could be better and Bluetooth connectivity can cut out if multiple devices are carried together. Overall, they're a solid choice for the money.

      It’s rewarding to hear that you find the WH-1000XM4 to be a solid choice, and you are enjoying the very good sound quality and noise cancelling performance! We're also glad you appreciate the flexibility of using them both wired and wirelessly.

      We genuinely value your specific feedback regarding the isolation from certain real-time noises (like in a coffee shop) and the occasional connectivity issues when multiple devices are present. We are constantly working to improve our Active Noise Cancellation algorithms and overall user experience, including app features and Bluetooth stability. Your detailed comments are instrumental in guiding those improvements for future updates and products.
