Quality Product.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have many merits: They sound great using Blue Tooth. They are comfortable and easy to used. Their noise cancelling works well. I need to live with them to make further evaluation. Best Buy matched the Amazon Prime Day price with a faster delivery date. I also got a small rewards discount.

Great Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased in 2025 at less than half the price of the then current model XM6. I'm willing to pay for the best if I can afford it, but value matters even more to me. I didn't notice any difference between the two in minimal testing, so saving about $200 was the right choice for me.

Posted .Hi WeiszGuy,
We are pleased to hear that you found such excellent value in the WH-1000XM4! While newer models like the WH-1000XM6 introduce specialized features such as an upgraded 10-band EQ, improved transparency mode, and the ability to listen while charging, the XM4 remains a fan favorite for its comfortable folding design and industry-leading noise cancellation. We agree that the "value-to-performance" ratio of the XM4 is hard to beat, and we're glad they are providing the premium experience you were looking for at a price that works for you.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

No real drawbacks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only possible drawbacks to this are price (fair but they are not cheap) or wondering how to replace the ear pads. They sound fantastic and the noise canceling is so good I can take a nap at my desk while my kids play Minecraft on the TV :-). I use them for everything from YouTube to CyberPunk and recommend them highly.

The King of over-the ear Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best over the ear headphones money can buy. They're light, they fit well, your ears and head don't get sore after extended use, and the sound quality is above and beyond what beats or Apple can provide. The only comparable brand is Bose, and you would be paying another $100-$200 for similar audio quality.

Another winning headset from SONY
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An exceptional set of headphones. A lot of automation and sound tailoring possible with the Sony application. They are very comfortable and the noise cancelling is A+. I felt that I had to custom set many of the features to work well for my usage, but kudos to Sony for having that level of customization in their application.
