Customer Ratings & Reviews

The headphones are arguably the best audio I have ever experienced from a pair. The bass thumps without being overbearing. The clarity is exceptional, and the detail is outstanding. The headphones also remain comfortable to wear over extended periods of time. I do wish they were water resistant. These rival Sony's latest model, which I also have, if you want to save some cash.

They are nearly perfect headphones. Extremely lightweight and good build with quality material. Airpod max might be metal and feel sturdy but they are heavier and create neck strain. The only thing missing from these are replaceable ear pads like the airpods. Considering they wear a lot it would be nice to replace them after a couple of years. Also sell fabric ones because leather is great only for a while and they do make your ears sweat and damp. That is my only gripe, they sound great, amazing anc, very compact, software updates get rid of bugs, very comfy, and they are arguably the best headphones out there. Factor in the price and this has to be the most underrated deal rn

I have put off buying over ear headphones for a long time because I wear glasses and get headaches easily, so the thought of something clamping down on my head and resting on any pressure points really turned me off. But I've found myself going out and about more and my AirPods Pro were starting to show their age, so I grabbed these during a sale. I thought about getting the AirPods Max for awhile until I learned how much heavier they are compared to these. Lightweight was really crucial for me. I also preferred these "older" models compared to the XM5 because they fold into a smaller case. The sound is really fantastic and the noise canceling is much better. I still honestly can't wear them for a long period of time because I start to feel the pressure points on the top of my head and where they're pushing my glasses arms into my skull, but that's a me problem and not the headphones. I still use my AirPods sometimes, but these are better for flights and working in coffee shops or other noisy areas.

True sound at its' best ALL of the time! They also cancel sound completely when you want no sound at all. They are lightweight and comfortable you will fall asleep with them on & its ok superb design allows for it. These are it for me.

These cans are comfortable for long stretches, the adjustable noise cancelling makes people talking only a couple feet away complete disappear even without any music playing, ridiculously long battery life and holds a charge for weeks without any parasitic loss. You do need the app to get the most out of them, but well worth the money especially since they’re less expensive than Bose and Apple.

Love my Sony WH-1000XM4. I would suggest them are worth the money. I work indoors in a very noisy factory. Desk Job. I do wear Glasses. I had the original Sony Noise Canceling Headphones for 3 Years or more. Bought the M4 for better mic for internet meetings and calls. A little better. Likes 1. Works with my workstation ( Laptop ) fast response low lag. 2. They stop Video and Music when taken off. 3. Comfortable to me. 4. Long Battery life. 5. Sound quality is very great. 6. Mics are okay for internet calls. 7. Noise Canceling. Is great. There are times I take them off and are surprised how noisy it is around me. Dis-likes. 1. App with phone. When I get an internet call my Phone and Workstation are connected the phone wants to grab first. I want the Workstation to have priority. Messed up some calls have to disconnect the Phone Bluetooth to reduce this problem. Sometimes have to do a full PC reboot. 2. No Boom Mic. 3. Mics are not good in noisy areas. Pick up a lot of background noise. 4. Hate the Google Assistant and Alexa. Should be removed. 5. App Location tracking. Phone override. Should be able to turnoff in app. 6. Speak to Chat. Glad it can be turned off with App. 7. Deeper cups. Ears touch hard plastic. Places for major improvements 1. Boom Mic!!!!! Removable would be nice. 2. Charging stand. One you can set on and charges when not in use. 3. Remove Assistant. 4. Deeper Cups or two different foams soft density outside and medium density inside. 5. More control with headphones through App. 6. Changes stay when not connected to Phone. 7. PC App to control headphones. I have the Avantree, Aria ME Headphones. Side by side with my Sony. I really like the Boom Mic. I DO NOT have to repeat myself as much. Because less background noise is coming through. I really like the charging stand. Very convenient. Sound on the Avantree is low, there is a lag, good for call or long meetings where you are the prime speaker. Thank you Eron

Great comfort for long commutes or flights. Sony approaches noise cancelling better than some of their competitors in my opinion.

Let me first say that these headphones are super nice. They are great quality and super lightweight and comfortable. The sound quality and the compatibility with the app is also great. However, I did unfortunately have to return them. I have really sensitive ears and the noise cancellation would start to cause immediate ear pain. I tried changing the settings and the noise cancellation still caused pain to my sensitive ears. I do still recommend these even though they didn’t work out for me personally. But if you do have sensitive ears you may want to try out the noise cancellation in store before you purchase to make sure you don’t have the same issue I did.

They're seriously comfy, like a warm hug for your ears. And the sound quality? It's like rediscovering your favorite songs all over again. Plus, the noise-canceling feature is a lifesaver in busy environments. Oh, and the battery life? Impressive, to say the least. These headphones have definitely made my daily routine a lot more enjoyable.

My daughter bought these for herself and they work really well! She said they are comfortable, sound great, and work great at noise cancelling.

Overall I absolutely love these headphones. I have the wf-1000XM5 earbuds which I love, but they aren't super comfortable so I bought these. The earbuds have slightly better quality in the sound and noise cancellation but that's understandable since these are only over the ears. These are super comfortable, I can wear them for hours and even sleep with them on. The only issue I have with these is that they don't fit super tight so sometimes they fall off if I move around too much, so if you plan on using these for the gym and you have a small head like me they probably won't work well.

Best Buy and Sony never disappoint. I’ve purchased the headphones for college but ended up using them for all of my audio needs. The noise cancellation feature allows me to remain focused and get my work done without distractions. From the gym to online classes to video gaming or streaming! This headset will be the first thing you grab and the last thing you’ll forget !

For once, a product actually lives up to the hype surrounding it. This may be the most celebrated set of headphones produced in the last 20 years. That praise is deserved. By now, these cans are regularly on sale, so don't pay full price ($350). Easily the best-sounding headphones I've owned, with exceptional battery life (I regularly get 30 hours of playback on moderate volume and Bluetooth before needing a recharge). Great carrying case, too. There are some recordings in my collection that I can honestly say I never really heard before until I listened to them with these Sony XM4s. Be sure to download the accompanying app onto your smart phone to get full use of all the features. I don' want to go overboard with praise, but the simple truth is this headphone set is the best investment I have made in audio equipment in the last 20 years. They're just that good.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from these because some of the reviews were mixed but honestly I’ve never been so happy with a purchase. As a fearful flyer these were a godsend on my last flight and the sound quality is awesome. I love that you have an option to plug them in and be connected wirelessly. They are super comfortable and the battery lasts forever. Highly recommend!

The quality of the sound is amazing and it's typical of Sony products. They are very comfortable to wear for several hours. I say A PLUS for anyone considering buying this model!

The noise-canceling feature works great; it effectively drowns out ambient noise, making them perfect for travel or noisy environments. They are incredibly comfortable for long listening sessions, and the battery life is excellent, lasting days without needing a recharge.

Omg what a master piece these headphones are. Very comfortable you feel as you if you are not wearing them, very light in weight. Sound quality is exceptional. Noise cancellation performance is excellent. I almost wear this 8hr a day when I work and it’s easy when you are in meetings, and when you are off meetings it’s blocks the background noise and gives an additional level of comfort to your ears and you’ll not be distracted easily.

Great pair of headphones, love the battery life! I love music and love extremely loud bass and this does well! Quality is very much its price and love the smooth velvet feel. Noise canceling is amazing. Audio does not break or glitch when far from primary device either.

I've been wearing Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones, which sound great, but I needed something wireless and more feature rich for work use. I ordered the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones based on a co-workers recommendation, and I am very glad I did. Sound - The audio quality is great for both voice and music. My HD280s are described as having a neutral audio profile, which is good for my studio use. The WH-1000XM4s have a more full profile to my ears, with a bit more bass and mid range. I like the audio profile, but it's easily adjustable if you don't. Comfort - These are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I have a large head (size 8) and these fit me fine. My ears get hot with the HD280s, but I have no problem wearing these all day (with a few breaks). Features - I found the app awkward at first, but managed to find everything I need. I remapped the custom button to turn Ambient Sound on and off, which is helpful in my home office environment. I also like the dual Bluetooth connectivity. This allows me to easily toggle between my work laptop and my phone audio. Overall, I highly recommend these headphones. They are expensive, but I feel they do their job very well.

I absolutely love these headphones. I was looking for a great noise cancellation/music specific over the head headphones, and everything I searched said these Sony headphones where the real deal. I can only agree. Very comfortable on the head. The battery life is really surprising me in a good way. Lasting forever. Great sound quality and noise cancellation. If you are willing to spend the money these are the headphones for you.
