Worth the upgrade from the WH-1000XM2's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally upgraded from the WH-1000XM2's and the difference between the two models is greater than i had thought. First, Sony continues to enhance the incredible sound quality from previous generations of the product line. The construction of the headphones feels much more secure and solid as compared to the older generations which often broke near the headband. The slimmer headphones also appear to be noticeably less bulky on my head while being worn.

Great sound!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Crazy good sound even now in 2025, it holds up pretty good for any use, although I would say the sound leaks a little more than I’d like.

Posted .Thank you for your review, Estyebra! We're thrilled to hear that you think the WH-1000XM4 headphones have "crazy good sound" and that they still hold up so well in 2025. It's wonderful to know you find them great for any use.
We appreciate you bringing up your concern about the sound leakage. The WH-1000XM4 headphones are designed with a tight seal to provide optimal noise cancellation and sound isolation. However, if the headphones are not fitting snugly, a small amount of sound can escape. We recommend checking the fit and positioning them to ensure they form a proper seal around your ears.
Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will certainly share it with our development team for future product improvements. Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team.

High Quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros:Love how powerful the low frequency active noise cancellation (upstairs stomping),sturdy,sleek,simple user interface,excellent sound,big spacious earcups.The best low freq noise cancelling headphone out there (triumphs over bose qc ultras). Better than XM5 model for now because the human is still in control of the noise cancellation (XM4) Cons: can get hot quickly if worn for a long time in a hot area.

Great Sound and Isolation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have two great attributes. Great sound, and great no-sound. First the sound. I've been using wired headphones for years. Tied (by wire) to the computer, I have dutifully sat in my chair for hours, watching instructional videos, etc. Now, I get up and walk around, still hearing the audio, while stretching my legs, even walking around the house. The no-sound is just as enjoyable. I'm wearing them now, while my wife is watching tv. Very quiet.
