    Brought on sale, excellent sound and value. Love that it comes with a cord for another option. In my opinion it's better than the newer version because it folds down more compact for traveling.

    I've been buying the WH-1000XM's since they came out and Sony never fails to deliver. These improve in a couple ways from the XM3's. Multi pairing, cleaner bass, improved call quality. There also a new pause when you to to talk feature that I really enjoy, but you have to learn not to sign along with the music lol.

      Hi Alex,

      We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you're having issues with the multipoint function. When using a multipoint connection, if you play music on the second device while still playing music on the first device, the music from the first device will continue to be heard. Stop the music on the first device so you can listen to music from the second device through the headphones. If you stop the music on the first device but then can't hear any sound, turn off the first device, or disconnect the Bluetooth connection between the headset and the first device. Make sure to also set the multipoint function:

    The only other time I've ever used a noise-cancelling headphones was at the shooting-range. It works similar but not that extreme. I used these to study in Starbucks during heavy traffic. It does well in blocking, enough to concentrate and still be able to faintly hear your named being called.

    I’ve been using Bose QC products literally for over 20 years. After getting the latest Bose 700 I was a little underwhelmed with its comfort level over a long flight. Swapped it out with Sony. It’s an outstanding product. The headphones fold quite nicely, which is always a bonus compared to Bose. The battery life is amazing.

    Sony WH-1000XM4 are the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy. By keeping the sound as good as it always was to satisfy music lovers and adding some extra features tech heads wanted, Sony manages to keep its nose just in front of Bose, Bowers & Wilkins and Beats by Dr. Dre. There's nothing better in the world of headphones right now.

    Amazeballs! I will admit the XM4 were not my first choice and solely due to price. I was trying to stay at around the $200 mark but man I am glad I ended up with these! They sound AMAZING! The only thing I would change is improve the ambient sound quality but other than that everything else exceeds my expectations!

    Of course the sound quality and noise cancellation on these headphones are top notch. You would expect nothing less from Sony. The only real issue I have with these is the build quality, the plastic housing gives them a real cheap feel. However, thus far they have shown no degradation or apparent wear and tear.
