A solid headset with overbearing noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall design of the headset is great, good quality, has a good carrying case, and it's very comfortable to wear. The sound quality it also fantastic and very customizable via their app. However the noise canceling feature is overbearing, making it feel like you're listening to your music and the hum of an airplane at the same time. I have tried this and the Bose noise canceling 700. I found the Sony pair to be a more comfortable and better sounding headset, but the Bose clearly outclassed it in noise canceling performance.

Posted .Hi PineappleBoard, We're sorry to hear your issue with the headphones. The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
Intelligent and intuitive, the WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. Meanwhile, the Equalizer lets you customize sound levels to suit your music. Thank you for sharing your feedback. Jay

The new headphone king!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of cans and a welcomed improvement over the XM3's. Just looking at it from the outside you might say these are the Xm3's however the ear cups are 10% bigger, which is great for those with big ears (not me), and the new blue color is a welcomed addition to the line up. Along with the bigger ear cups, the sound stage for these is more well rounded or "flatter" than it's predecessor and for those who want more bass in everything they listen to, they might be disappointed however if you want to listen to audio the way it was intended then these are better than the XM3's. I have actually tested these since I still have my XM3's and can confirm that the bass is naturally more pronounced than in the XM4's however I found that the sound overall was better and had more "room" along with detail in the XM4's. Going back to the XM3's after listening to the XM4's sounded more muddy and crowded in my opinion as well. Another perk is that these can now connect to 2 devices at once in the Sony companion app and if you do like more bass in your music in general, you can tweak the EQ, but at that point you might as well buy the XM3's which is still a great buy compared to other headphones around the same price tag.

Hurt my head
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are pretty good. Good sound quality, work well with teams, etc. I returned them because of the fit. I wear headphones all day for work and these caused pain on the top of my head due to the shape. I don’t get this with the Bose quiet comfort or hyperx gaming headset.

The best noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After much search and research I decided to buy and keep this headphones. Balanced sound, the major sell point is its battery life, i can go over 24 hours with it without needing recharge. Noise cancellation works amazingly. The sound though, it is good but not the greatest (because the sound is balanced). To make the sound great you have to use an equalizer.

Perfect for Morning/University Commutes
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these!!!! They block out 90% of regular noises that I would normally hear on buses (light fixture buzzing), arguments, drunk party goers, and etc. They also make it more likely for me to have my own sense of space when I am anywhere. I get to be comfortable and well contained in the spaces that I'm in, like a I'm the only person in the world. The noise cancelling features, atmospheric pressure adapter, and different sound modes are added benefits that you never know you needed until you have it! I also have sound more headphones but these ones best them and I always have them on even in bed. They are also a beautiful black color and I am wearing them out but they aren't really showing signs of wear or waning sound quality. Best impulse purchase ever!

Amazing noise cancelling and comfort level 10/10!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly noise canceling and super comfortable for extended periods of use. Earbuds don’t stay in my ears and on ear headphones hurt after a while with a mask and glasses behind the ears so over the ear was a perfect solution! The sound is incredible and the noise canceling is amazing. I get caught up in my own world and don’t get distracted by things going on around me!

Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is so good on these. My wife has the XM3 and they’re nearly identical. I do like how these turn off when you take them off your head versus the XM3. I tried a pair of Bose Ultras and ended up returning them for these when they were on sale. The Bose probably sounded a little better but the noise cancelling was almost identical. For the price I couldn’t justify the more expensive Bose headphones. I really wanted to get the XM5’s but saw a decent amount of reviews saying the headband breaks easy. Didn’t want to drop that kind of money for something that would potentially break on me.

Great unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read a lot of reviews before purchasing the xm4 headset. I am very happy with these. I am not a music expert but I know what I like being of the older generation. I amazed by the noise cancelation, sound and battery life of the unit. The one problem is after a couple of hours having the on my ear start to sweat so I take them off.

10/10 Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I adore these. Super comfy lasts for days of occasional listening or about two ish days of almost non stop listening. I really like the app and the different sound profiles that are premade and available. The noise canceling is amazing also. It’s not 100% but it sure tries its hardest to give it to you.
