Amazing all around
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They get everything right when it comes to sound and the noise cancelling is great. Very comfortable I didn’t have a problem wearing for long periods of time. Not much to say other than that they’re exactly what you’d want in a pair of noise cancelling headphones

Posted .Hi smarq, good to know that this is what you are looking for in a product. Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music. The addition of Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 masterfully eliminates the noise around you. Listen all day with up to 30 hours of battery life. Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.
To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Amazing Headphones!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought nothing could beat the WH-1000XM3's, but Sony proved me wrong. The WH-1000XM4's are better in every way, from being more comfortable to the amazing new features. If you are looking to spend money on a good quality set of headphones, look no further.

Wow!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality. Sleek design. Noise cancelling is exceptional. Sometimes I wish there were buttons on the back of the ear instead of touch response on the headphone itself but overall very happy with purchase.

Great value 4.5 star
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Giving this a 4 only because the app is a little buggy. Has dual pairing options but the switches are not consistent. Headphones themselves are really well built and still top tier considering this is a dated model.

Great, Connection takes longer than necessary
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these, only thing is that while they immediately say "bluetooth connected" when I turn them on, they actually take a while to pair. There's been a few awkward moments where I immediately play my music or podcast and they haven't actually connected.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience, Zara13!
We are thrilled that you love your WH-1000XM4—they are fantastic for both sound and industry-leading noise cancellation!
We sincerely apologize for the brief but awkward delay between the "Bluetooth connected" voice prompt and the actual functional pairing. That moment where you immediately start your audio only to have nothing play is certainly frustrating, as we aim for a completely seamless experience.
This behavior can sometimes be related to how quickly the source device (phone/laptop) completes its handshake with the headphones. To potentially smooth this out, have you tried these two steps?
Please ensure your headphones are running the latest firmware via the Sony | Headphones Connect App. We frequently issue updates that improve connection reliability and speed.
Sometimes, temporarily removing the XM4s from your device's Bluetooth list ("Forget Device") and then re-pairing them can reset the connection profile for faster linking.
If the issue persists after trying those steps, our support team can look into more advanced diagnostics. You can reach them here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thank you again for choosing Sony!

Posted .Hi ValeriaG, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're extremely pleased to hear you are enjoying the amazing battery life and exceptional sound quality of your WH-1000XM4. These headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. I believe these will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities, I recommend you practice caution when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise.
The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location.

Purchase

Great Set of Wireless Cans!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're here then you probably know how good these headphones are and having had them to toy with for the last few days I'm quite happy with my purchase. The ANC is amazing, it's been a great boon to my work from home. Additionally it's great that I have an easy way to take calls, listen to music and switch audio between my computer and phone with ease. The only downsides are call quality is just ok, it's not gonna blow your mind but there are better options if calls are your primary use case. Additionally the LDAC is not available when you have two devices connected. Minor gripes and far exceeded by all the positives. If your willing to splurge on a set of wireless headphones these are a great pick.
