2nd pair from Sony! Love them.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The most comfortable headset that cancels enough noise and yet doesn't make me feel like I won't hear if there was an emergency that I would not be aware of. I need to be distraction free at work, yet still aware if someone needs to get my attention. These work perfectly!

Same Great Headphones as Before... but Better.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these headphones after owning a pair of the first generation of these head phones for 3 years with heavy use (~100 hrs/week). These were super light, but still feel as durable as the last pair. The sound and noise canceling are still great! Being able to finally pair with 2 devices is a great addition. However the speak for turn off NC is kinda useless. Thankfully you can turn that off. I highly recommend these headphones! They're great!

Posted .Hi DomIGuess, we appreciate your recommendation. You defintely made the right choice. 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.

Fantastic Noise-Cancelling Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great product and a great deal from Best Buy with convenient delivery. Product arrive exactly when it said it would. The noise-cancelling head phones work perfectly for my husband's needs. Perhaps they work too well as he can't hear me anymore. :)

Posted .Hi user327825,
We are thrilled that your WH-1000XM4 headphones arrived on time and are working perfectly for your husband! It sounds like the noise cancellation is definitely living up to its reputation. If you ever need to get his attention without him taking the headphones off, he can simply cover the entire right earcup with his hand to activate "Quick Attention Mode," which instantly turns the music down and lets ambient sound in. He can also enable the Speak-to-Chat feature in the Sony Sound Connect app, which will automatically pause his music the moment he starts talking to you. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
Not for long hours
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this for about 2 weeks and hopefully counting. But my only complaint is it hurts the top of my head. Everything else is awesome! Pros: -Good noise canceling -Good sounds -calls are clear and good -2 bluetooth (this could get annoying sometimes too, cause they tell you every time it connects/disconnects) -great battery life -nice looking headphones Cons: -Hurts the top of my head and ears (when I have my glasses or wears them too long) -Annoying how it goes to ambient mode when you start talking (not good if you like to sing along to music) Honeslty not sure if it's worth the price tag, but it does help me study better at home, as my neighbors likes to party alot.

Posted .Hi Asada,
We appreciate your review of the headphones. We're happy to hear those positive remarks. Make sure to adjust the headband for maximum comfort and fit. You do have the option to turn off the Speak-to-Chat function (Hold 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel once again until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat deactivated").

Sony headphone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent set of headphones this sound quality is exceptional the fit the overall design perfect.
I would recommend this to a friendBest headphones on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones with all the newest features on the market. Noise cancelling is under then Sony 1000xm3, but can be improved in next OTA updates. Cushions are super comfortable, however, people with big ears can feel some discomfort. Swipes/taps will not work with gloves in cold weather. Sound quality is one of the best on the market, bass is great but not too deep comparing with some bass-oriented models like beats studio.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat set of active noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable for extended use. Larger than average sized head and felt great during 11 hour flight. Noise cancellation works well and sound quality is excellent. Sony’s version of Apple’s transparency mode doesn’t work quite as well, but at nearly half the cost I see no reason to splurge for the AirPod Max headphones over these.

The best keep getting better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have now had the XM2, XM3 and now the XM4 models of these headphones and they never fail to impress me. It is hard to make them a lot better for sound quality and comfort but Sony adds mild tweaks every model to make them that much better. The noise cancelling is fantastic. We just got back from an airplane trip to Florida and when we got off the plane my wife said "Wow, that kid behind us was annoying" and I said what kid? Never heard them. Pros: Sound quality. Very even and balanced and if you have personal preferences you can manage that on the EQ in the app. Bluetooth range and pairing. Easy to pair range at least 30 feet even thru walls Comfort. They do seal around the ears well and after a long wearing period I do get some "ear sweats" but they are never uncomfortable. Noise cancelling is superb Able to cup your hand over right earcup to hear someone talking to you. Sensor that detects when you remove the headphones and pauses the music. (new for XM4) Adjusts noise cancelling depending on what environment you are in. Very intuitive and easy to use app for adjustments and tweaks. Case is well built and looks classy and they do hold up well. Cons: The only thing I can say I do not care for is the speech recognition that pauses the music when you speak. If you just clear your throat the music will pause but it can be easily turned off in the app. If you are looking for a pair of high end headphones with noise cancelling I cannot recommend these enough. You will not be disappointed.

Best pair of over the ear wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is probably one of my best purchases this year. As a musician and producer, I have to give credit to Sony on this pair of headphones. The sound is phenomenal and the noise canceling works great. The frequency response is great and I like the app you can adjust specific frequencies if you want to change how they sound. The battery life is super great. It was worth it.
