Excellent noise cancelling and stable bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.During work-from-home, I used to use Apple AirPods Pro, because of noise canceling function. However, AirPods Pro sometimes disconnects while a meeting that I struggled with. Sony WH-100MX4 has a better noise cancelling and over-the-ear style that doesn't harm to my ear, so I could use it for a long time in a day. In addition, Bluetooth connection to my mac is very stable. I never encounter unknown-disconnection. Overall, I'm very happy to use this product and keep use it while a meeting.

Big bang for your buck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to give these 5 stars, but they don't connect to certain apps reliably (Slack, Zoom, and TikTok frequently have problems). Otherwise the sound is amazing as it the noise cancelling feature. Very comfortable, as well.

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
Worth Every Penny
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What's there to say that hasn't already been said, its the build, its the sound quality, its the look, the battery life, etc. These are pretty much the go-to as far as Over-the-Ear headphones are concerned and for good reason. They recently released the XM5s which apparently have slightly better noise-cancelling and quality but honestly for the price(especially during a sale) you can't go wrong with these!

Best set of headphones I had
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been Through a lot of headphones and these are hands-down the best I’ve had. The noise Cancellation helps when I’m outdoors but the bass and the sound makes me feel like I’m in a studio. Definitely good purchase.

Comfy sound boosting headphones
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable to wear and noise cancelling works exceptionally. These are my favorite headphones I've ever purchased to date. The only negative i have is that they slip off head while working out in different positions other than sitting/standing up straight. Other than that, no complaints!

Overall good headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality, playtime, and ability to store on two devices is nice. But switching between devices isn't as seamless as I hoped, and noise cancellation is also much worse than I had expected. However, they are a very solid pair of headphones overall, and they've kept in good condition for 3+ years and many hours of wear.

I reall
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hi quality headphones with some great features. The noise cancelling is really good, and like the option to have it wired as well. You will want to mess with the settings on the mobile app as well as it will help control some of the features that can be useful at times, and other times not what you want at the time like speak to pause feature. Some people might not like this if they don't want to use the app or using the touch panel to control the headphones.

bought for college daughter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter said she was going to go deaf trying to tune out students with her earbuds. She likes to study in the campus center and that is where it is loudest. She said she had the music all the way up and still couldn't hear. She is so Happy with her headphones now. She wears them around her neck all the time I guess its now part of her aesthetic. I like it better because when I call her I can actually hear what she is saying. I couldn't hear the background noise like I had in the past. I love the part when I go to speak to her when she is wearing her headphones because the moment she starts talking the music stops. Now I know for sure she is listening! Definitely a win for me for anyone who has been ignored by a game playing child. The battery life is nice as well and she normally charges when she sleeps for the next day but they don't need to be. If she forgets they are still good for the next day. She loves the sound and music is her life so definitely worth the money to see her happy.

Best headphones I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that i can connect to my work laptop and phone at the same time, and they seemlessly go back and forth between devices without me having to touch anything. I have had them about a month now, and they have been amazing on charge as well as sound quality. I would say I get 100% noise cancelling in the office and about 95% on the plane. So for me they are once again great.

Best headphones I've ever owned!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are hands down the best headphones I've owned and I've had the CH700s(I think thats the right line), XB900s, Anker Space 45s and then these, and these are the best when it comes to noise cancelling and sound quality. I will say that the XBs are definitely better when it comes to bass but that's the point of the XBs (Xtra Bass). I am not disappointed with these headphones!

nice
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones. I have had them for two years now and they are still going strong. Only issue is that the feature where the music stops playing when I take my headset off no longer works. I also wish you could connect to three devices at once since I use my laptop, tablet, and phone while working. The app also sucks but other than that the headphones themselves are nice. The XM5 model are more comfortable, if you wear glasses I would get those.
