Excellent Sound, Top Notch Noise cancelation.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't let the price fool you. These headphones are amazing. The spacial and clear sound is one of the best headphones you can get on the market today. Pros: -Battery life -Bluetooth (can connect up to two devices at the same time.) And never had any issue connecting to various devices. -Enhances music that has been recorded at lower bitrates -Comfortable, even after wearing for several hours. Vent holes to prevent sweaty ears. -Has more bass sound than the Bose equivalent. -Has a feature where if it detects that you are speaking it will pause the music and turn off the noise cancelation. -Noise cancelation is top notch. Check it out in the store to hear what I mean. And it will adapt to your environment and routine if you wish it to. Also can temp cancel noise cancelation by hold your palm up to the right ear. -Can adjust EQ through the software. Cons: -Software is OK. Its pretty bare bones and not a lot of options. (But does upgrade firmware to the headphones). -Sony makes s big deal about this 360 sound. And it does sound amazing. However, very limited content that supports it. And that is even using Sony's own app. -Limited available colors -Price can be a turn off. But given the quality of headphones that these are. I find it well worth it. -Bluetooth microphone is ok. Not horrible but sometimes it doesn't come out as clear as it should on the other end of the phone call. I would recommend these to just about anyone that really loves to hear the best their music has to offer and wants top notch noise cancelation as well. The software is lacking and the much hyped 360 sound available content is disappointing to say the least, But that is just considered a bonus honestly. While pricey, these are one of the best sounding headphones I have used in a long time

Exceptional Sound, Comfort, and Noise Cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones offer an exceptional audio experience that is hard to beat. The sound quality is incredibly rich and clear, with balanced tones that work well across all genres. The noise cancellation is one of the standout features, blocking out almost all ambient noise, making them perfect for travel, work, or relaxation. The comfort is generally good, with soft ear pads and a lightweight design, although I did find them to feel slightly heavy after extended use. This was a minor issue, but it's worth noting for those who might prioritize long-wear comfort. Battery life is impressive, lasting all day with quick charging, which is perfect for busy schedules. The headphones are also packed with useful features like customizable sound modes, but I did find the app experience a bit lacking in terms of user interface and functionality. Overall, the Sony WH1000XM4 headphones are fantastic for anyone seeking top-tier noise cancellation, clear sound, and great comfort for most uses. While the app could be better and the fit might be slightly heavy for long periods, these headphones are still an outstanding option for those who value premium audio quality and effective noise isolation.

TOP TIER!!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After testing both the Bose QC Ultras and the Sony XM5s, I find the XM4s to be exceptionally well-rounded. They are, without a doubt, the most comfortable headphones I've ever used. The ear cushions of the XM4s are incredibly soft, allowing for extended wear without discomfort. The noise cancellation is outstanding, and the sound quality is superb. Additionally, the case is compact and easy to carry. The microphone quality is decent and suffices for my needs. In conclusion, the XM4s are definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Phenomenal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ended up choosing these over the Bose QC-35, after years of wanting the Bose headphones and have no complaints, honestly. The sound quality without any of the optional sound adjustments are exceptional, you can download the app to adjust the sound quality to your preference if needed. The noise cancelling on these are are above and beyond even at no sound. The battery usage is miniscule to where there isn't much of a necessity to charge the headphones on a constant basis (like other headphones in the market today). Product wise, the Sony XM4 feels very light on my head, and I use it quite often when I walk to work in the NYC area. I looked for consistency and comfort, these pack a punch in both of those categories. Jumping from normal AirPods to these felt like a great investment. If you're looking for simple, over-the-top headphones with adjustment options, don't look further than these.

My Sony M4 headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love my headphones and I have been using them for 3 years. The battery life does not wear out and the installment is amazing. The headphones are very comfortable to wear and noise canceling is almost very good in loud environments. Only problem is that when you turn on the headphones, the turn on speaker is too loud and if your music is too high, the music leaks.

Top Tier Headphones Quality and Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 offer top-tier noise cancellation, great sound, and 30-hour battery life. They’re comfortable, support multi-device pairing, and have LDAC for high-quality audio. Downsides? No aptX and touch controls can be finicky. Still, they’re among the best ANC headphones out there.

I love these headphones!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had my Sony WH-1000XM4s for three days. They are my first over-the-ear headphone purchase since the 1980s or so. For the past few years I've been using Apple Earbuds and/or various lightweight, cheap on-ear headphones, but I’ve never loved them. I decided to get some “real” headphones and get back to enjoying music like I used to... largely as a diversion from all the bad news that started in early 2020. Since the Sony XM4 and Bose 700 seemed to be the noise-cancelling top contenders, I read several reviews for both (in addition to reviews of a few open-back headphones) over a period of five days, and the XM4 seemed to be the better choice for me. To make sure, I drove 40 minutes to the nearest Best Buy for an in-person listen. I tried three Sony models and a couple of Bose models. I was clueless about the concept of noise cancellation, and I wasn't sure that I wanted or needed it. I went back and forth to the various models, repeatedly testing audio quality and comfort, and settled on the XM4s although I wasn't totally wowed by the audio quality. The demo songs weren't the type of music that I listened to, and everything sounded too bass-boomy, with very little nuance. In short, everything sounded like a box with a pillow over it, and I think noise cancellation was a big part of it. When I took the XM4s off, I was amazed at how loud the huge store sounded, even though it didn't sound loud before I put the headphones on. I was almost ready to go home empty-handed, but I decided to chat with two very friendly salesmen about my concerns. They confirmed what I had read in the reviews—that you can tweak the EQ in the app that comes with the XM4s, so I left with a set, knowing that I had 14 days to return them if necessary. Antsy to do a real-world test on my own headphones, I drove the 40 miles home and got started. Mine sounded way better than the store's demo model after I turned noise cancelling off. But the sound was still lackluster, to put it mildly. So I downloaded the Sony Headphones app and set the EQ to the "Bright" preset suggested by a couple of reviewers. Some improvement, but they still didn't sound like $350 headphones. I searched on line and found a suggestion on Reddit for a manual EQ setting. WOW! They sound so good now that I can't take them off! I'm addicted, and have been listening to all kinds of music that I knew by heart, to see if they sounded different with these cans. YES! (A few times, while listening with the free five-month Apple Music subscription that came with the phones, I’ll come across a song that needs a little more treble, so I turn on the Boost Treble setting in iOS settings for just that one song. However, most music in any genre sounds incredible.) Using various fairly high-quality phones in the past, I usually ended up with sore ear edges after extended listening sessions. These XM4s are SO comfortable that I have not had any ear fatigue whatsoever. They’re large enough that my ears fit inside with room to spare. Even with noise cancellation off, these things seal out sound extremely well, due to their luxurious construction. I flushed the toilet and thought it was broken, because I couldn’t hear it! I vacuumed the apartment yesterday with them on and could barely hear the vacuum cleaner. Someone was mowing grass outside my open window, and I couldn’t hear it at all. I turned off the Speak to Chat feature because it was annoying, and putting my hand over the right headphone worked perfectly fine when I needed to bring back the ambient noise or talk to someone. It took a few tries to master the touch controls, but they’re like second nature now.

I’ll buy another pair if need be
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are truly magnificent. If you’re on the fence about these or another pair, I’d recommend you go for these. The only issue I’ve had with them is that a plastic piece came off which caused my right speaker unit to spin freely and eventually come off and hang. Because I bought them from BestBuy, I’m assuming they can fix them. So I highly recommend getting them from BestBuy AND having an account so the purchase is saved under that. Quality of sound is magnificent. Clear and crisp. If you want more bass, you can easily make that happen or search the internet for an EQ setup that does exactly what you want. On the flip side, the treble and voices never lose out. The battery can last 2 whole days without a recharge. I’m talking enough battery for a good workout and for time at work/school. Besides build quality, the biggest issues (which is still small) is its connectivity. I’d refrain from having the headphones connected to multiple devices because it easily gets confused.

Versatile, comfortable, feature-rich but simple.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a lot of trouble finding headphones I liked. These are comfortable (even with my rx glasses, which has been an issue in the past.) The noise cancelling is killer, but the ambient sound is just as good! Battery life is also shocking. I use them 50/50 for PC gaming and listening to music, so the ability to have two devices connected is surprisingly handy.

Isolations from the outside world!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had read about these new Sony 1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling headphones with their promise of being one of the best on the market. I was looking forward to getting my hands on them myself. I received my pair in white. They come in a compact semi hard case with a mini plug for plugging into headphone jacks, plane plug for air travel and a USB-C charging cable. Unfortunately the charging cable is only 8 3/4” long and was a letdown when charging the headphones. A three foot cable would have been better for charging. But all in all that was the only short fall for the 1000@XM4’s. The sound quality is outstanding with clear, clean sound that provides plenty of low end without being boomy. I have several pairs of noise canceling headphones that claim to eliminate outside noise, but none of them come close the Sony’s ability to put you in a sound cocoon, isolating you from the outside world. The ear cups fit snug without feeling fatiguing and the head strap is virtually undetectable when wearing them. Setup is very easy with the provided instructions. Using your IPhone camera to scan a smart label in the instructions, you are brought to the Apple store or Google play store to download the Sony 1000XM4 app. Once downloaded simply follow the instructions. You can also simply use your phone’s Bluetooth to connect directly without the app, but then you don’t have the opportunity to use the apps features such as multiple device setup, speak to chat and equalizer settings to customize the sound to your liking. There are only two buttons on the headphones, the power button and a custom button. The custom button, when pressed analyzes your areas noise and personal sounds you make to tailor the noise canceling performance. To change volume levels you simply slide your finger up in the outside center of right headphone to increase the sound and from the top down to lower the volume. To move to the next song, move from back to front and to play the previous song, slide your finger from front to back. To pause / play and to answer a call just tap the center of the outside right headphone. It takes some practice to get the right touch to control the touch control to work with proficiency, but once you do it’s easy. Once I charged these headphones they seem to play for ever. Weather I’m cutting the lawn, walking or using the elliptical, I get hours of use out of them. One feature I never knew that I needed was the ability to connect to two different devices at the same time. For example watching a move on one device and also being connected to my iPhone allows me to still answer the phone and pause the movie until the call has ended. This feature is great. All I can say is these would be my favorite headphone for the sound quality alone and all of the other great features pushes them even higher!!

Awesome Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Headphones Are Seriously Next Level If you’re hunting for a pair of headphones that offer both premium sound and top-tier comfort, stop scrolling you’ve just found them. I’ve been using these headphones for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly blown away. The audio quality is nothing short of amazing—crisp highs, deep bass, and a balanced midrange that makes every genre sound incredible. Whether I’m zoning out to some ambient tracks or blasting my workout playlist, they never miss a beat. Noise-cancellation? Unreal. It cuts out background noise so effectively that it feels like I’m in my own personal sound bubble. Perfect for travel, noisy offices, or just some peace at home. Comfort-wise, I can wear these for hours without any fatigue. The ear cushions are soft and breathable, and the adjustable headband fits snugly. Bonus points for: • Sleek, minimal design • Easy touch controls • Seamless Bluetooth pairing If you’re serious about sound and want a hassle-free wireless experience, these headphones are absolutely worth the investment. They’re not cheap, but you get what you pay for and then some.

Game Changer for Headphones
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has just made a big gamer changer when it comes to WH-1000XM4. I own 5 pair of differnt brands of headphones and another Sony headphones. These beat them all hands down. Being able to use the app has a lot to do wih that you can change the way you listen to your music if you like more bass you can have that you can make your own settings. Tese will stop playing when you talk and take out the noise cancellation so you can hear. The only problem with that is if you like to sign along with your music. So you might want to turn that function off. You can downlosd the 360 Reality Audio but that will be an extra charge you do get a trial for it from Sony. So the Sony headphone app is easy to download and you will want that for these you have all kind of functions on there to get the most of these. Battery life is great 30+ hours charge time 3 hours it has Google and Alexa Assist on these. Carrying case witch is nice thank you for that Sony. The last pair i had just had a bag not to good for protection. The phone audio comes in clear but i was told that i sounded like i was talking into a can but it didn't sound that bad compared to other brands. You can connect another set to these for sound sharing. Love that there is only 2 buttons on these makes it so nice and easy to function the swipe up and down for volume and forward and back to skip or playback. Double tap to pause and play. These will know if tou have them on your head or around your neck if they are off your head they will stop playing. I used these to power wash my deck and the next day to stain it they worked awesome light on the head easy to use the memory foam ear cups are very nice they don't get all hot over the ears. Sony knocked this out of the PARK you did a GREAT job on making these and i'm sure they will take over the market. Love the functions and the sound that come from these.

Comparing it to XM5s
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TL:DR; Better than XM5s in many aspects. XM5s have that SLIGHT edge on the sound but I am so glad I went back to XM4s after tolerating the XM5s for two months. If sound quality is your top priority, get the XM5s, they do sound better but for everything else, XM4 wins. I used my first pair of XM4s for more than a year after ended up getting the XM5s when it came out because I thought it'd be an improvement. I was wrong. This is my second pair, thats why the ownership date is near to this review. I use my headphones over 5+hrs every week day. During the day, they are in an office environment, after work, I head over to gym for another hour or so of usage. I've had an XM3, XM4, and an XM5. Comfort... Very obvious even just from looking at the pictures that these have more padding. It does have the difference in feel for sure. After returning the XM5s and putting these back on, I immediately said "oh sweet realms of comfort" ... The only thing with these are they are just a little bit short for my head. But ... I do have a giant head (XXXL helmet) so I can't blame them and it is just short... like... barely. still have no problem putting them on during a long coding stints at work. Noise cancellation... In my honest opinion, these destroy XM5s. I was excited to see that XM5s have double the mic to help with the active noise cancellation but omg they are so annoying. XM5s constantly tries to adjust the sound deadening. XM5s wont let you just set a setting for the ANS because it is supposed to be clever but does not work so you constantly have ANS adjusting the outside noise. Even if you are a chewing gum, when the cups move a tiny bit, the amount of noise that comes in with XM5s changes. If XM5s stay idle (no sound playing), it tries to be smart and turns off sound deadening so all of a sudden you hear more of whats going on around you even though you just wanted more quiet. These ... set and forget. I don't hear anything and that is a constant status not a variable. Battery... These win again. After the same amount of usage, XM5s would go down to %30 at the end of the day and go to %20 after 10mins in the gym. These are always around %50+ even after leaving the gym. Love it... Storage... These comfy cups fold. XM5s do not. These are easier to travel with or to throw it in your backpack from folding and less foot print. App usage... These give you more options in the app than XM5s because as I said above XM5s tries to be clever with ANS and fail at that miserably. For example, in XM4s, you can set the amount of ANS you want but no such option with XM5s. Sound quality... As for the lesser sound quality on these compared to 5s, XM5s have that more clear mid range so you get to hear more of the instruments. BUT ... XM5s lack the base compared to these. So I don't know if it's clear because it has less base or just clear. I say these are not as good sounding compare to XM5s but in no way these sound bad. I do like that extra bass thump I get in these so it may even preferable to some. After having the XM5s for about two months, towards the end of my ownership, I started to even forget them at home so I had use my back up headphones at work. For me to forget my headphones at home is like forgetting to put on clothes. That is how much I was let down by them. I am so happy I went back to these guys. I loved my first XM4s before the upgrade and I am loving my current XM4s after the exchange even more.

Best yet.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound Quality: Best Sound quality I've heard so far between Arctis Pro Wireless Gaming Headset, Playstation pulse 3D and Bose Noise canceling 700. However i did bump into some odd sound and connectivity issues between ps5 controller connected to the controller making the sound quality sound very muffled while pushing out 3D audio from the ps5 very odd yet im 90% sure that if you get a separate Bluetooth 5.0 Dangle to connect directly to the ps5 that would be eradicated, i hope ( i did not test that). Everything else sound quality is superb. Connectivity: This is where i had some issues, not with all devices but with the ps5 and a midrange Samsung Tv. With the ps5 there is no Bluetooth connectivity what so ever, the ps5 does not recognize the headset its unsupported completely but there is a way around it yet except a downgrade of sound quality oddly enough, by directly plugging in via headphone jack to the ps5 controller making the sound quality muffled very odd behavior, maybe caused by compatibility issues. Also bumped into connection issues via Bluetooth between a Samsung midrange TV from 2016 sound coming from ps5 directly to the tv via HDMI and then from the TV to the sony M4s earphones via Bluetooth yet i couldn't verify if it was earphones or to many sources involved yet thats what happened, but when the connection was stable enough it would deliver a better sound quality against plugging the headphones directly to the ps5 controller, it was all backwards, because i was expecting better results connecting to the ps5 for obvious reasons yet that was not the case unfortunately. Comfort: Comfortable enough up to 12hr of none stop playing video games, after that started to feel heavy on my ears causing some pain especially if you wear glasses. If you have some what warm place/apartment the do make you sweat, my place was a 75° f and i was sweating from where leather was touching my skin, something to keep in mind. Besides that very good Comfort. Battery life: Exeptional 30hrs of batterylife , 12hrs none stop video games while of line (no chat) and battery was at 45%, unlike the worst offender being the sony pulse 3D with 15hrs of battery life, from 100% to 50% after 3 hours.

Not disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My 4 is really a 4.5. Charge holds a surprisingly long time, and the noise cancelling is very good. I liked the case it comes in and they are comfortable. I feel they are a bit quiet. Also talking on the phone with them is hit or miss and is glitchy. Range also feels shorter than other devices.
