Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable over my ears. Sound is clear. Does a better job blocking out sound than other earphones I've had. I have told many friends about these. I found the price worth it.

XM4s are whatever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, after having these headphones for a while, I think they're all right. I bought them because I was going on a big trip, and on the plane, they held up pretty good and were nice to have. However, I also brought my AirPods to see the difference, and to be honest, it wasn't that much of a difference that 300 dollars is buying you. These headphones sound great, and that's pretty much all they offer: good-sounding wireless headphones. However, I can't say it's worth the $ 300 price tag. I'd say if you're looking for good quality headphones,s they're other options better for your pocket to,o and If you already own noise canceling wireless headphones like AirPods Pro 2nd gen or of the same generation, I'd say just stick with as these headphones are really that much of an incentive to buy them they're also from 2016

Headphone Essentials
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far my favorite purchase of 2021. An absolute essential. The sound quality is amazing and so is the noise cancellation. The design and slick and the material is very premium. I do not see any flaws in this product aside from its price. If you can find it on sale for around 250 or less, it is a definite buy!

Great ANC but gets HOT
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC is great. Sound is good. Bass struggles when it gets really loud. Earcups just sounded muffled. Transparency is ok. I still had to lift up a side to hear the conversation. Touch controls are acceptable. Can be sensitive sometimes. My main issue is that this thing gets HOT on the ears. Definitely buy it on sale if you are dead set on getting it.

Clearest headphones I've ever heard.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I have a pair of Bose QC headphones, and the clarity of sound from the Sony is far better. The noise-cancelling is also better on the Sony. I do find the headphones are bit sensitive to touch for the the controls, but once I get them set right they are phenomenal.

Definitely worth the wait to upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! I liked the XM3, it feels and sound good. I’m so glad Sony finally came out with the new XM4 with multi device support. I waited to splurge on this headphone. The sound is still beautifully clear as the XM3. It fits nice and feel really light when wearing for long period of time. Still has best noise-cancelling feature of any headphones out there. Well worth the wait!

Really work for noisy neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was down to trying these noise canceling headphones (THE BEST) or possibly doing something that would end up in court. Upstairs noise was really getting impossible to live with. As soon as we begin to hear "Henrietta Hippo" begin her baby elephant walk we put on our WH-1000xm4's and cannot hear anything but what comes in from the T.V. or stereo. Peace at last. Use with MEE transmitter/receiver so both my wife and I can enjoy our lives again. Also good when one of us wants to sleep while other listens to or watches something else. WORTH EVERY PENNY and a lot cheaper than moving or hiring a lawyer to work out a plea bargain.

We are thrilled to hear that your WH-1000XM4s have been such a reliable companion for both school and the gym over the last four months! It’s great to know the 30-hour battery life is holding up for your busy schedule; if you ever do find yourself running low, remember that just 10 minutes of charging can give you up to 5 hours of playback.

Own two pairs
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, waited years to buy a set of headphones because of cost and couldn’t find anything I liked. Bought these about a month ago and I have no regrets. Ended up buying my sister a pair as she loved them as much, if not more, than I do. Definitely worth the price you pay for what you get, quality is fantastic, very comfortable to wear, easy to use.

Amazing sound quality. Very comfortable.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been shopping around for a pair of ANC headphones for a while. I’ve used the Bose 700s, Bower and Wilkins PX7, and the WH-1000mx3s. I loved the mx3s but the fit was a bit uncomfortable for longer periods of time. That’s not the case with these new mx4s. The extra cushion feels great and they feel very light. Overall an excellent pair of headphones. Best in its segment!

Amazing Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. App is amazing. Only thing is that the pads get greasy a little easily but that isn't a deal breaker. The EQ is amazing once you fine tune to your liking. Also comes with 3.5mm cord as well as an airplane adapter, which is great.
