Amazing noise canceling and comfort
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great at minimizing noise. I live where there is a lot of construction going on, traffic, and barking dogs. I put these on an instantly it cancels most of the noise, and once I put the music on I can only hear what I put on. They let you connect to two devices at a time, as long as you aren’t using the aux. They will turn themselves off if no music is playing long enough, unless the aux cable is connected. They are really good quality headphones, and the noise canceling is better than I expected. They feel amazing and I can wear them a few hours before they start to feel heavy. The sound quality is also top notch. The main problems are that sometimes it’s difficult to connect to certain Bluetooth devices, and the other problem is the battery will keep draining if you leave the aux cable in. In my opinion the free trial to the service they offer is not worth it, and it was a little difficult cancelling the service, I do not recommend the 3D sound stuff, it doesn’t make much a difference anyway and it’s only a couple hundred songs that offer it.

AMAZING headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE these headphones. I use them for just about everything. The noice canceling is by FAR the best i have had. I can go walking next to traffic and not hear a single noice. I'vebeen on planes and couldn't even hear the planes taking off. If you need a pair of headphones to block out your kids or your nagging wife, these are for you. Block out the world abs just be with your intrusive thoughts with these headphones. I actively show people these headphones and have talked people to bordem about them. I try and get everyone I show them to to but a pair.

Bought for gym use. Good quality.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for gym use. Great for blocking out noise during cardio, however will slip off head if doing weight training laying down.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi BG312,
We are glad to hear the WH-1000XM4 is performing well for your cardio sessions. To improve the fit during weight training, we recommend adjusting the headband so it sits slightly further forward on your head to create a more secure anchor point when leaning back. Please keep in mind that these headphones are not officially IP-rated for water or sweat resistance, so we suggest wiping the ear pads down after your workout to maintain the material and internal sensors.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Great headset
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is incredible...I did upgrade from the XM2 version, and this one has better noise cancelling and a later version charging cable. It is a little lighter on my head, so I don't feel it at all. The bass response is much better too, doesn't distort so fast like the other one did. I'm a fan.

Comfortable, clear sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a lot of Sony products and they are generally good. These are no exception and I love it that they have great sound and are comfortable, so can be worn for long stretches. They seldom lose connection but when they do, they connect back quickly. No complaints.
