Okayish if you like it heavy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The nice quality isn't as bad as I thought. But it could be better the reason why I'm giving it. 3 stars is because the headband piece digs into your scalp. And it could hurt, especially after hours use or if you have thin hair and the battery life is okay compared to other headphones. It tends to run out at a quicker rate depending on the volume. And setting, you have it on. But if you're a Sony fanatic, these would be better than the latest generations like the last 2 generations, aren't as good as you would think. This one, because it's thicker in the muffle area has a better. Noise-canceling property than the others, but it is heavy not to an extent. You would notice in the very beginning. But after hours use, you do notice it

Posted .Hi NicoAnd,
Thank you for the candid feedback on the WH-1000XM4. We're pleased the Noise Canceling performance is strong and that you find it superior to previous models.
We sincerely apologize for the discomfort the headband is causing during long listening sessions and the frustration with the battery life variability.
To help maximize the battery life, please check your Sony | Headphones Connect app and ensure features like DSEE Extreme are disabled, as these can increase power consumption. For the headband comfort, some users find that a third-party padded cover helps alleviate the pressure. Your detailed observations about comfort and weight are vital, and we'll ensure this feedback is passed along to our product design teams. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Best I've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't think headphones could get better than the XM3...but I was wrong. The noise cancelling in these headphones is unmatched. Additionally, you can connect two devices at the same time. This is great when I'm traveling because I can connect my phone and tablet at the same time rather than disconnecting one and connecting the other.

Excellent wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are currently the best wireless headphones on the market in their price range. Nice that you can Bluetooth pair with more than one device (e.g. computer and phone). Audio quality is very good and the equalizer app allows you to easily tweak sound profile to your preference. This item periodically goes on sale and at sale prices nothing else on the market comes close.

Buy a warranty
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I initially purchased these headphones around a year ago I thought they were fantastic. The noise cancelling was fantastic, and perfect for repetitive droning noises, likes fans or ac. The sound quality was also great. Whether you are using the ldap protocol on an android phone, or simple aac on an iphone. I found these headphones to be one of the best sounding ones I have had the pleasure of experiencing. It's also light weight, rest easily on your head, and feels premium. But there's a reason I'm giving a one star review to them after a 18 months of ownership. These headphones developed an issue with the noise cancelling feature. The issue being that it would RANDOMLY AND LOUDLY SCREECH FOR A SOLID 30 SECONDS AT MAX VOLUME. There is no way to predict when this happens. You'll just be sitting there, minding your own business, perhaps listening to some Jazz or Lo-fi hip hop when suddenly a piercing screech at max volume comes out of both ears of your headphones. The only solution I have found was to just disable to the noise cancelling, but that's half the reason you are spending three hundred dollars on a pair of headphones. This is an unacceptable quality failure, and apparently the headphones are already out of Sony's warranty. So according to them, I got my values worth. Needless to say, I won't be purchasing any Sony headphones in the future, and advice anyone reading this to seriously consider this review. I personally, I bought a pair of SennHeiser momentum 3's to replace these, but there are a lot of other competing anc headphones to choose from. Headphones like the Bose 700's, Bose QuietComfort 35, or Bowers & Wilkins px7. Those are just a few I think I would have been more happy purchasing than these headphones.

Posted .Hi DecentShow,
We regret to hear that you're hearing unwanted noise on your headphones. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. Make sure to update the firmware of the headphones by performing a software update (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. Doing so may resolve the issue.

You may hear noise (such as a creak, click, or static) through the WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones when traveling through tunnels, or other environments which air pressure changes easily, even if the noise canceling function is on. When the Noise Canceling function is set to ON, you may also hear a White noise (a small electrical noise with continuous static sound). If this occurs, temporarily turn off the Noise Canceling function. Also, please remove any obstacles between the antenna of the connecting Bluetooth device and the built-in antenna of the headset and keep the headset away from a microwave oven, wireless LAN device, etc.
We recommend performing the steps provided on the links below to refresh the content of your headphones.

M4 for the win over Apple Air Pods Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent cans - and before being too harsh, ask yourself: how much degradation happens to your music via Spotify? Hook into a lossless source first as a true test. Light, easy weight, decent build quality. I love the ability to connect to two bluetooth sources and it works well even between my PC and iPhone 11 pro. The closest comp may be the Airpod Max and at twice the price, get these and a pair of Airpod Pros or better give the 250 bucks to your local animal shelter. Apple is trying to go elite brand and it’s a huge turnoff in this pandemic economy. Go with M4s.

Great Headset!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones look beautiful and simplistic. The sound quality is superb and the touch pad controls work well as long as you are slower and deliberate with your movements. The audio can pause whenever you take the headset off, this feature works well enough. In the beginning my music would continue playing once i removed them but i haven't had many issues with it in the past few weeks.
