Excellent Headphone Choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of these headphones are just amazing. I use them daily on my trips to campus. Really great sound quality, excellent noise cancelling, and the over-ear build helps to keep my ears warm in the cold, which is a nice bonus. It's on the higher end of noise cancelling headphones, both in price and quality, but it's definitely worth it. Would recommend over other products.

Amazing sound and noise cancellation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these headphones for work. Amazing features. With the Sony app, you can customize your noise cancellation, I have it to cancel all sounds except people talking to half, so I can still hear people if they are close but not far away. Has built in mics and if you put your hand over the right ear up, it turns off sound cancellation and you can talk normally with lightning quick response time.

Best noise canceling headphones I’ve used
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For Bluetooth headphones, I used to have JBL E55bt and these cannot compare to those. The sound quality is excellent and the noise canceling makes it so that I hear almost nothing. The speak to chat is a good improvement over the quick attention but the time it takes to go back to my music is a bit too long and it’s a bit sensitive since it activate it I’m laughing or humming to a song.

I use them at work to block out sounds to help me focus. They work amazing on planes and for daily use. When it's time to buy another pair I'm going for this model because they're better than the nee ones in my opinion.

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.

Oh my
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always been a Bose fan.. I have the latest NC 700s and love(d) em. Just for kicks I decided to try the Sony competition and it’s incredible how amazing they sound. I’ve only had em a couple days now, but I can already say that sound-wise they wipe the floor with my Bose NC 700s. Let’s just hope they last and I don’t have any connection issues like I’ve had with my Sony earbuds!

The best yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When Covid-19 occurred I shifted to remote working. I quickly found myself becoming agitated in response to the noise in my home. These headphones turn off the noise. Whether it’s my living room’s ac unit, the chatter of roommates, or the hum of my desktop, it all disappears when I place the XM4’s over my ears

I would compare the quality of the sound to some of the best studio equipment out there. The noise cancellation is perfect. I’m not sure what else they could do to these to make them anymore perfect. They are totally worth the price. Definitely get what you paid for with these.

Great for Home or Mobile Use
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work great, not ideal for studio quality sound engineering, but apart from that the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. If you need studio quality, get wired.

We are thrilled to hear that you consider the WH-1000XM4 the best pair of headphones you’ve ever owned! That is high praise, and we are so pleased they are delivering a superb listening experience.
We also appreciate your insightful feedback on studio quality. You are absolutely correct—for the flat, uncolored frequency response required for professional sound engineering, a dedicated wired monitor headphone is always the best choice.
Thank you again for choosing Sony!
