Love em.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love them. They are the best sound you can get for headphones that have all of the mobile friendly features that these have (Bluetooth, noise cancel, airplane adapter, mobile app with eq adjustments, multi device connections, nice travel case, wired & wireless). If you strictly want the best audiophile headphones you won’t find all of these features. With these features though, these are the best sound quality cans you can get. Maybe not out of the box, but with eq adjustments you can fine tune in the mobile app. You will NOT be disappointed by these. - budget audiophile hobbyist who uses these for best sound quality while on the go.

comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid sound. Easy on the ears. After spending hours on video calls, we needed a product that didn't make our ears hurt. Perfect choice. A little tricky to set up for video calls at first, but we figured it out.

Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice headphones that everyone recommends. I like them, with a pretty design, and they never catch my hair, which most headsets do. The only issue is that they leak sound; other people can hear it pretty loudly from a distance.

Posted .Hi Phoebe,
It's a true pleasure to hear you find the Sony WH-1000XM4 to be an attractive and popular choice, and we especially appreciate you mentioning the comfortable design that prevents tangling. We understand your point about the audio being audible to others nearby. While the earcups are designed to contain sound, ensuring a proper, secure seal around the ear can sometimes help minimize the distance that sound travels from the headphones.
Thank you for your comprehensive review and for selecting Sony!
Regards,
Dominick

Great Headphones, Not So Great for Video Editing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise cancelling, many sound optimizing options, and they're very comfortable to wear. Great for listening but not great for editing because the bass is amplified so you won't get a natural sound. Using them on bluetooth with my wireless mouse and keyboard created lag between some function of my laptop, like adjusting my computer volume.

Switched from Bose to Sony
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stellar sound quality and noise cancelling. Switched from Bose Quiet Comfort’s to the Sony XM4’s. Didn’t think I’d ever love another noise-canceling headphone as much as the QCs. These are amazing though. Great sound, battery life, quality.

Great over-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy listening to music with these but it's true that after a while your head starts to hurt a little because of the band and the ear cushions get kind of hot but overall these are great headphones with active noise cancelling literally you can't hear anything outside and I love it when going on the bus.

Posted .Hi Brisa,
It's amazing to know they excel in music quality and noise cancellation, which is perfect for bus rides.

Good for noise cancellation under three years
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They lasted almost three years before a loud screech came through on the left ear cup. Great for noise cancellation especially if you want to go deaf haha but really they were good while they lasted. For $300 though I expected more

Better than AirPod Pros
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are some excellent headphones. I have had apples AirPod pros for 2 years and I loved them but they always lacked in the sound quality department but as soon as I put these on everything changed. These are the best sounding headphones I have ever had. From the smooth highs and the perfect base these are a great buy for those who just want amazing sound quality with all the bells and whistles that all these earbuds have and The noise cancellation is a lot better than I thought it would be.

Great ANC with bassy sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little bit too much bass I think. Makes some music sound a little muddy. Can probably fix this in EQ, but these were really comfortable and the ANC is really good. Recently got these for a 15 hr flight and they worked well.
