Great and Durable Headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been great headphones. They've connected and worked flawlessly every time I've used them for the last 2+ years. They sound amazing, and they're definitely more comfortable to wear than my Bang & Olefsen Beoplay H9i headphones.

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.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the most comfortable headphones I’ve worn. The noise cancellation is perfect for drowning all sound. I love wearing them to listen to instrumental music while I work, and after having them on for several hours I could still say I barely feel them on.

Bought for gym use. Good quality.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for gym use. Great for blocking out noise during cardio, however will slip off head if doing weight training laying down.

Posted .Hi BG312,
We are glad to hear the WH-1000XM4 is performing well for your cardio sessions. To improve the fit during weight training, we recommend adjusting the headband so it sits slightly further forward on your head to create a more secure anchor point when leaning back. Please keep in mind that these headphones are not officially IP-rated for water or sweat resistance, so we suggest wiping the ear pads down after your workout to maintain the material and internal sensors.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

She loves them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My own personal review of the pair I purchased for myself gave these a lower rating because they pinched my head too much, this review is for the pair I purchased for my GF. She absolutely loves them and uses 3-4 a week. She says the bass thumps and its very clear. She likes being able to put her hand over the earmuff and for the noise cancellation to stop. The sound she says is great and she plans to use these for years to come.

Just do it!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent! Best headphones ever!!! Super comfy, the features are great and the sound is BOOMING! Very clear!!! I also use them as a gaming headset with the aux, perfect!!!! I traded in the WF-1000XM4 earbuds for these, I really loved the size of the earbuds and the sound, but my ears just aren’t meant to put things in as I had discomfort after only an hour, there’s no discomfort with over the ear!

Best Headphones on the Market for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is better than my old Bose QC ll's and rival the AirPod Pro's which provide a better seal only because of the in ear design. Sound quality is and bass on the XM4's is better as well. Good for the type of music I listen to and I love that they give you an equalizer to really fine tune to your preference, Touch controls took some getting used to but work great and really give the headphones a nice look.

As good as advertised.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first pair of over the ear ANC headphones. Comfortable on my ears and no headaches from 2-3hours of use. Easy to use. I’m not an audiophile but the sound and ability to customize the settings via app allowed me to enjoy my podcasts and music without any disappointments. My wallet enjoyed the extra savings from picking this up on a sale. Looking forward to using the ANC feature on a plane when the pandemic is over.
