Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use these when I go to the gym. The battery life is super long and its easy to connect to my phone. With the SoundConnect app I can set how much noise cancelation I want and can change the EQ. If you remove your headphones while listening to music to talk to someone else your music will pause until you put them back on. The sound quality is a solid 8/10

These are exactly what I needed! They have great sound and the ANC works great at my job where there is some consistent production noises. I have been using them for a week now and am not disappointed at all. They comfortably fit over my ears without looking too bulky. I only wish I had noticed that the black color had rose gold metal accents instead of bronze.

I've been using these for several months now, for several hours a day, and have very few complaints. The battery life is good, comfort is good, sound is excellent. The fact that I can connect it to my laptop and phone at the same time is a great feature.

I really love the battery backup on this and the quality of sound with noise cancellation too

These headphones are absolutely amazing. The sound is completely crisp and provides plenty of bass when using an equalizer like Dolby Atmos. One other thing I love about these headphones is that the noise cancelling completely blocks out any and all background noise. Overall, these headphones are a 10/10 in my book.

Out the box these headphones are still amazing. Their ANC is very good for its price range and the sound quality is really great. Even though these may be a bit old they are still a very great pair of headphones. The app is perfect for making adjustments on ANC and EQ. The case is very sturdy as well. The headphones are light but comfortable, for some people the it could be to small but for average people it should work perfectly well. They also offer LDAC so you are bound to get great sound quality over Bluetooth. These headphones are perfect especially on a budget and I would recommend these.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones truly live up to their reputation as premium noise-canceling headphones. From the moment you put them on, the active noise cancelation (ANC) is remarkable, blocking out a wide range of background noise, from chatter to engine hum on flights. The sound quality is outstanding, delivering crisp highs, deep bass, and a balanced midrange, making them perfect for music lovers and audiophiles alike. Setup is straightforward, especially with the Sony Headphones Connect app, which allows you to customize the sound profile, noise-canceling levels, and other features like adaptive sound control, which adjusts the ANC based on your environment. The headphones also support multiple codecs, including LDAC, ensuring high-quality audio streaming for compatible devices. One standout feature is the multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, allowing seamless switching between two devices—a big plus for those juggling work calls and entertainment. Additionally, the "Speak-to-Chat" feature is clever, pausing audio when you start talking, though it can be overly sensitive and trigger unintentionally. Thankfully, this can be toggled off. Comfort-wise, the WH-1000XM4s feel amazing for extended use, with plush ear cushions and a lightweight build that makes them barely noticeable during long listening sessions. The carrying case is thoughtfully designed—compact enough to fit easily in backpacks while still offering ample protection for the headphones. The battery life is impressive, offering up to 30 hours with ANC on and quick charging that provides several hours of use in just 10 minutes. The built-in microphone is decent for calls but not stellar—it picks up your voice well in quiet environments but struggles slightly in noisy settings. Alexa and Google Assistant integration are convenient, though voice commands can sometimes feel a bit slower to respond. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are an excellent choice for those prioritizing top-tier noise cancelation, sound quality, and smart features. While there are minor areas for improvement, they remain one of the best options in their class. Highly recommended for frequent travelers, remote workers, or anyone looking to immerse themselves in high-quality audio.

These headphones are really good. I got them mostly for travel and study purposes and I can say the noise cancellation is ok. It doesn’t really cancel everything but it’s cute.

These are definitely the best wireless headphones I have ever owned. The headphones are very comfortable and well balanced. It may seem weird, but sometimes I forget that I am wearing them. They are adjustable and the ear cups are soft and don't press on my ears. I have worn them until the power drains with no issues. I also love the matte black color. The sound quality is excellent. I am not an audiophile, but these headphones reproduce rich sound. The music I listen to music and can be optimized, and this improved the quality after I went through the simple process. The noise canceling is truly amazing. You can adjust the amount of noise cancellation or use adaptive noise canceling so this feature adapts based on your surroundings. I don't usually take phone calls while wearing headphones, but the few that I have taken have had good quality and the other person has not had any problem understanding me. My one issue with the headphones would be the multipoint Bluetooth pairing. The instructions say that you can pair these headphones with two devices at the same time, but I cannot get this feature to work. If I have them paired between my desktop (or laptop) and my phone they do not work. I keep hearing the "Bluetooth connected" alert, but it seems to immediately drop and about ten seconds later the "Bluetooth connected" alert sounds but no connection. This continues and does not resolve itself. It is like the two devices are competing for dominance. The "chat" feature is a nice addition. You simply begin speaking and the headphones silence the music, and you can carry on a conversation. You can tap the earcup to go back to listening mode. Great for a work environment. Battery life is amazing. I have worn these headphones for hours (4-8) and never drained them. Depending on how much "on time" listening I have over the course of a week, I can usually go over a full week on a single charge. This is more than adequate for me. I also have both DSEE extreme, and the equalizer enabled which drains the battery quicker. Included with the headphones is a nice carrying case with a copper accent zipper pull, an extremely short USB cable for charging, a short audio cable for direct connecting to a device, and an in-flight adapter. I have found that the audio cable is only practical if seated. It is too short if you are doing any kind of movement (I'm 5' 11"). I was able to purchase them on sale at $248.00 plus tax and I believe it was money well spent. If you enjoy music, I recommend spending the extra money and purchasing these headphones.

I ordered these on a pre-black friday sale weeks before the main sales were announced on best buy. I had extensively researched the headphones (and previous generation XM3) for about 10 months prior to pulling the trigger, comparing them to literally everything else in its tranche and also more expensive models. This included audio-technica, bose, sennheiser, bowers & wilson, and bang & olufsen to name a few. I recommend these headphones over the others for several reasons: 1. Sound quality. The sound out of the box was not to my liking, but the beauty of the Sony app is that you can craft the EQ how you want. I was able to find a custom setting that enhances nearly all of the music I listen to. I'm very happy with the high quality sound across the board. Do not buy a NC headphone without the ability to tweak the EQ. Sound quality is a relative matter and you may be unhappy with the out-of-the-box sound if you opt for a cheaper model. 2. Noise canceling. Top-notch with a ton of features allowing for levels of ambient sound to your liking. Adaptive sound control is a huge plus 3. Functionality. Ability to connect to 2 devices simultaneously. Of course more would be great but at least 2 is crucial (which is why I would buy XM4 over XM3). I usually connect to my ipad and iphone and can seamlessly move between both. 4. Comfort. I previously owned a pair of Sennheisers which were very uncomfortable. I would give these XM4's 9/10 in terms of comfort. I will admit that it took me a few weeks to get used to the pressure but in finding the sweet spot (about 5 clicks up on the head band) I am now able to wear them for hours without needing to take them off. 5. Call quality. I've tested these with multiple family members and friends. They have all given these at least 9/10 in terms of call quality in moderate background sound environments. Will the call quality be the best on the market? Probably not, but personally I didn't buy these for calls. Rest assured, you'll be fine. 6. Style. I like the minimal design. They are matte black with a sleek non-offensive look which I actually like more than the Bose. I would say opt for the black over silver (almost a pewter grey) because over time they will show scratches and smudges less. Conclusion. If you're on the fence, take a look a the many reviews on youtube especially the ones comparing models. I highly recommend you buy these over the probably cheaper XM3's (depending on when you view this). The added features are worth spending more, but good news is that these seem to routinely go on sale. Worth every penny for WFH, music lovers, and even calls. Enjoy :)

Great quality, sound and fit. Love how comfortable they are to where all day in noisy data centers. Also love them when flying. No more crying baby or constant jet noise. Purchased an Airfly Bluetooth transmitter for air plane audio jack and now I don’t have worry about cords. Glad I took the leap during Memorial Day sales.

I really like this pair of headphones. I do suspect the left ear cup swivel assembly will degrade in a year or so, but for now, the plastic doesn't creak like the WH-CH520 that I had before. The sound quality is phenomenal, but when I turn on LDAC, there is an occasional dropped packet, when my phone gets unlocked, or if I switch apps. If you have a larger budget, I would go with the Sony XM5, because the swivel mechanism might be a bit more durable.

I’ve been using this Sony headset for a while, and it’s working great! The sound quality is excellent, with clear audio and deep bass. The battery life is also impressive, lasting for long hours without any issues. Overall, it’s a great headset — totally worth it

Great product and super comfy for long term use with good bass sound that is adjustable

Whenever your listen to music or watch a movie your truly feel like you’re in a concert or a movie theater. And the best part you get to dial in your EQ settings if you really want to turn the Bass to the MAX

I LOVE THESE HEADPHONES. I’ve always been a person who loves music and wants to just relax and be in peace. These headphones are just that, the sound quality, features, noise cancellation and so much more. Another thing I love about these headphones is that it is very adjustable and comfortable on the ears, i’ve had many problems with other headphones that weren’t like that. Also I love how you can simply pause the music by putting your palm hand on the headset it’s so easy and very useful if someone needed my attention. Lastly, the battery life is amazing, I listen to music 24/7 and needed headphones that lasted all day and these are it! But overall you should buy these, DON’T OVERTHINK IT !!!

Good noice canceling and clear and crisp sound. Easy to use

Best headphones ever! Love these so much! They’re easy to use and the sound quality is fantastic. Thanks to GeekSquad protection I was able to get mine replaced in no time.

I recently purchased a pair of headphones from Best Buy, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with my new audio companion. The headphones in question are the Sony [Model], and they have truly exceeded my expectations in several aspects. First and foremost, the sound quality is outstanding. The bass is deep and resonant, providing a rich foundation for all genres of music. The midrange is clear and detailed, allowing vocals and instruments to shine through with impressive clarity. The high frequencies are crisp without being overly sharp, creating a balanced and immersive listening experience. Whether I'm enjoying the intricate details of a classical composition or getting lost in the beats of my favorite electronic tracks, these Sony headphones deliver a sonic experience that is nothing short of remarkable. Comfort is another area where these headphones excel. The over-ear design and plush ear cushions provide a comfortable fit that allows for extended listening sessions without any discomfort. The adjustable headband ensures a secure yet gentle grip, and the overall build quality feels durable and well-crafted. One of the standout features for me is the noise isolation. The Sony headphones effectively block out external noise, allowing me to enjoy my music without any distractions. Whether I'm on a noisy commute or working in a bustling coffee shop, the headphones create a private and immersive listening environment. The wireless functionality is seamless, and I appreciate the convenience of being able to move around freely without being tethered to my device. The battery life has also proven to be reliable, lasting through long stretches of use without needing a recharge. In terms of design, the Sony [Model] headphones have a sleek and modern aesthetic. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, and the overall look is both stylish and functional. The folding feature adds to the portability, making it easy to pack these headphones for travel. While these headphones come with a premium price tag, I believe they are well worth the investment. The combination of exceptional sound quality, comfort, noise isolation, and wireless functionality makes them a top-tier choice for audio enthusiasts. If you're in the market for high-quality headphones that deliver an unparalleled listening experience, I highly recommend checking out the Sony [Model] at Best Buy. My music has never sounded better, and I can confidently say that these Sony headphones have elevated my audio enjoyment to new heights.

I love them! Use them daily for the gym and haven’t charge them in in about 3 weeks! And I’m listening to them daily for about 2 hrs straight! Battery life is amazing and the sound is top notch
