Fit Is Too Tight And App Is Awful - Try Them On
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones get only 3 stars from me because they are uncomfortable to wear, and I have to reset things in the app to get them to work correctly with Bluetooth on my PC. When working properly the sound is great, the microphone also works well. The problem is when I get on an online meeting these disconnect and reconnect and do all kinds of weird things. The app does fix some problems, but I often have to reconnect to my phone and then reset junk in the app then reconnect to my PC. The headphones fit entirely too tightly on my head, and I end up with headaches from it. They also feel cheap and flimsy, and I feel like they're going to break at any moment. I wish I could go back to exchange them for something different. These are by far the worst Sony products I've owned.

Sony 1000XM4 Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 4th, I think, pair purchased or exchanged through Best Buy, Sony had terrible customer service, as I have tried with previous to send off for repair. They recommend a company in New York. Unfortunately, one of the pairs had broke above one of the ear cups. I keep getting this product because it is the best Noise Canceling on the market. I wish Sony, for the amount they charge, do a better job of service

Super happy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones sound excellent, are feature rich and have a stylish case. The only issue I have had is that sometimes they jump to 100 percent volume when powering on and pairing with my phone. Tech support showed me how to reset the headphones but the issue creeps back in every once and a while. I’m sure they will address it in a firmware update. Other than that I am super impressed with both the sound and build quality.

Great Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading reviews I decided to purchase these headphones. Noise cancelling is the main reason I purchased these. I have a neighbor who has a stereo with a thumping bass that was penetrating the walls. I got these headphones and most of the noise was gone. Because these are bluetooth enabled I was able to have some calming music to help me sleep and that drowned out all of the noise. The sound itself is really good, too!
I would recommend this to a friendVery convenient features. Build quality issues.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones twice within a week. First ones had creaking issues in the ear cups, headband and hinges. For a premium product that is unacceptable. Took them back for Anker XR. Figured for $80 see if they didn't creak. They didn't but very uncomfortable and sound was lacking coming right from the XM4. Got a second pair of XM4 and so far so good. ANC, sound and swipe all make for a great headset. Just wish the build quality was better.

Perfect ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did weeks of research looking to replace my 7+ year ANC headphones. These were generally reviewed as the best out there. I am glad to report those reviews were right. Color is fantastic and the NC is ironclad. It's changes based on what you are doing and that is very useful. Swipe motion for skipping and volume control is effective and engaging. Loved these so much that I got my girlfriend a pair too. She loves them!

Not impressed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality, but not the best. Bass could be better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM4, SamraS. We appreciate your positive note on the sound quality and understand your expectations regarding bass performance.
The WH-1000XM4 offers several features that allow users to customize the audio experience to their liking. If you'd like deeper or stronger bass, we recommend adjusting the equalizer settings either through the Sony Headphones Connect app or your audio source. Settings such as "Bass Boost" or manual tuning of lower frequencies can help enhance bass response and tailor the sound to your preferences. Additionally, using high-quality audio codecs like LDAC or AAC can further improve overall sound quality and bass detail when paired with compatible devices.
We value input like yours, as it helps us continue improving our products. If you have any more suggestions or questions about optimizing your WH-1000XM4, please let us know.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Great Overall but a Small Software Issue
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but not great. Sometimes the ambient sound feature will turn on randomly and pause whatever you sre listening to. It doesn't happen often but it's really inconvenient when it does. Otherwise the headphones sound great and are very customizable.

Posted .Hi MichaelI, we're glad you are enjoying our product. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with your Sony unit. It appears that the issue you have is caused by the Speak-to-Chat feature. If Speak-to-Chat is enabled beforehand, the Speak-to-Chat mode starts automatically when you talk to someone. The headset pauses or mutes the music which is being played and captures the voice of the person you are conversing with on the microphone to make it easier to hear. You can disable this feature by following this link:
