Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely in love with these headphones. They're pricey but worth it. The sound is amazing and the noise cancellation is great. I can wear these for a long period without my ear hurting, which is honestly a huge plus. I assumed they were going to be heavy but they actually aren't. Another thing is the battery, I charge these once a week or two.

Not very loud even after messing with settings for days. Comfortable and good battery life.

Works perfectly and even better to apple pro max headphones. Bought these as a gift but I also have one on my own I was gifted one back in 2021 and it still works perfectly. Overall these headphones have great sound quality and battery life, which is must as a college student.

I bought these, a couple months ago, wanting a mid-tier price for a first pair of headphones. Until then, I was exclusively using earbuds/AirPods, etc. I wanted to prioritize immersive sound, but still have a decent internal mic, so that I could use them for work, if needed. When I tested these in-store compared to similar-tiered options for Bose, Beats, JLab, and Skull Candy (which I really took my time with) Sony outperformed them all for overall balanced sound. I was shocked by this because I went in thinking I would be going for Bose. Once I calibrated my purchased pair, they knocked my socks off! I love the sound test that ensures you hear sound in the way that YOU want. When I brought them to the counter, the cashier asked if I had owned a pair before. When I said no, she said I was going to fall in love with them. She wasn’t lying! I plan on wearing these out and then going for a high-performance set, later. I guess I’m a Sony girl from now on. I’d highly recommend these!

I have been using these nearly everyday since i purchased them about a year ago. I tell everyone how great they are. Super comfortable, easy to use and connect to multiple devices, pretty good battery life, good noise cancelling and they look great. I use them for work, at the gym, mowing the lawn, and traveling, etc. I bought another pair for my mom too. I can't recommend these enough

TLDR in advance: try it on in store before you purchase to make sure it fits. Good for big ears. Better sound than the bose imho. Tried in store before I purchased. To me they sounded better than the bose quiet comfort 45 which was the only real competition. They also fit over my ears better because I have big ears. I also have been accused of having a big head and these weren't too tight. A friend of mine with a much smaller head and smaller ears said it felt huge on her head so its not sized for everyone. I recommend trying it in store. Noise canceling is good. Obviously it's not shooting range good but if the world around you is too noisy putting them on helps block out the noise. Probably shouldn't use the noise canceling while attending children for safety reasons because odds are you won't hear them screaming from the next room over. ;) That being said you will probably hear them screaming in the same room it will just be dulled. You can also turn off the noise canceling. Some of the gimmick features are cool but most people won't use them. Like immersive 360 sound for some subscription based music services (Not spotify). It sounds cool but im not paying a monthly fee for one music source to sound better. Especially when all the others still sound pretty good. The feature to temporarily hear your surroundings when noise canceling is active was also cool but odds are you won't use it often if at all. Overall they're cool noise canceling headphones that sound good. The app works on andoid well but I didn't do any testing with an iphone. Price is a little high but would recommend.

Amazing headphones with really nice audio quality as well as noise cancelation. Also the fact that you can fold it and put in a case to cary easily is so much better compare to xm5 or 6. Something for this price range is really good. You can always go for jabra or some senheiser but if you are looking for good audio and good noise cancelation, this is the best you can get for this price range which is wireless. The battery life is also pretty good. And with fast charging I get a decent battery just for charging 1 hour.

The Sony WH-1000XM4s are on another level. The sound is rich, balanced, and immersive—every song feels like a private concert. What really stands out is the comfort; I can wear them for hours and almost forget they’re on. Premium quality through and through! With it on sale, it was definitely a win!

I've been using the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for a while now, and they offer an exceptional listening experience with top-tier noise-canceling capabilities and impressive sound quality. They are incredibly comfortable, even for long periods, making them perfect for travel or extended use. The battery life is fantastic, lasting up to 30 hours on a single charge, and I find the touch controls intuitive and responsive. However, I've noticed a couple of drawbacks. Despite the excellent overall sound quality, I find that the bass isn't as deep or powerful as I would like. Additionally, the headphones can occasionally fall off easily, especially if I'm moving around a lot. Despite these minor issues, I'm still very satisfied with the Sony WH-1000XM4 and would recommend them to anyone seeking high-quality wireless headphones.

The sound is pretty good, not super accurate but could be good for most people. They get really loud and the bass can be pretty accurate and good in a few songs. They are comfortable to wear for long periods of time and the battery is really great, I didn't bother to charge them for a few weeks (with medium usage and regular hours per day). They are a little overpriced but overall a good pair of headphones for the buck.

I grabbed these on sale on 3.8.22. There was so much hype surrounding these, so I pulled the trigger. I can honestly give a review after owning them for 17 days! My taste in music ranges from bands like Rotting Christ, Behemoth, Slayer and in a flash, I can go to Frank Sinatra. Yes, I know it's a great range in genre, but these headphones keep me happy. I don't find them to be too bass happy or treble happy, but I would rather call them neutral sounding. I'm not an audiophile, but I can't find any issues with these at all. The Sony app works just fine on my S22 Ultra and it gives the ability to tweak the EQ where I want it. They are very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The noise cancelling feature is quite nice compared to my Bose QC 25's. I don't feel the pressure on my ears that I do with my Bose. Battery life thus far has been good. The longest I have had them on (on and off to be honest but still powered on) was when washing my two vehicles and my motorcycle and still had a ton of battery left. Estimated time I used them was about 6 hours. I love the color as well; the blue is very nicely done, and the picture doesn't do it any justice. The only complaint is the USB C cable is so short! I have a charging station for all my devices and the included cable is too small. I suppose if you are using your laptop and need a quick charge, the size of the cable would be fine. Are these worth the hype? In my opinion they are and if you can wait for a sale, grab them!

I wanted to do am "in-store" comparison between the Bose QC 35 I have owned for about the last 2 years and the Sony WH-1000XM4. Unfortunately, the demo station in the branch nearest to where I live, never had the demo model set up properly and, besides, I wouldn't be able to compare the same music. Well, now that I have bought a pair of these great headphones and have finally done an "in-home" comparison, listening to the same song, I can truthfully say that this Sony model is superior to the Bose QC 35. While the Bose model has produced very good sound and the noise cancellation has been excellent, the bass on the Sony is much stronger and the overall clarity of the music is noticeably sharper. Also, the Sony app provides a much superior Equalizer experience for customizing your own settings, allowing you to set up TWO custom pre-sets. The Sony even feels more comfortable than the Bose which wasn't ever UN-comfortable. The Sony just feels "softer" and "lighter" by a small margin. The Sony app even allows a more custom fit by allowing you to measure your ears using photos you take. Until recently, BB was carrying the previous model, the Sony - WH -1000XM3 but this has been, I'm guessing, phased out for the slightly more advanced XM4 released by Sony in 2020. My needs for using this headphone are very basic. I don;t really use the voice or phonecall feaures, so I'm not in a position to state how well that works. I did use the volume feature on the right earcup, (no button, you simply raise or lower the volume by running your finger vertically up or down the earcup exterior), and that worked fine and the connection between the Sony app and the headphones paired effortlessly. All in all, I'd say that, soundwise, (especially because I like extra bass), these are superior to the Bose QC 35, and are worth the price if you want the more expensive noise cancellation headphone experience.

I purchased these headphones to replace my Bose QC15's which have finally worn out. I considered these and the Bose QC35 II's, the QC45's and the 700's. On sale for Black Friday, these were just a bit cheaper than the comparable headphones, the 45's and the 700's. For me they were also just a bit more comfortable, and the noise cancelling gave me more options. I hate the look of the 700's, and the Sony worked just a bit better than the 45's. I have a doctorate in music performance, so I am judging the noise cancelling on how well it does, and these really block almost everything, and how they sound. The fidelity to the sound is very high. Plugged into my phone or computer, the volume setting needs to be almost at the lowest and is still super clear. Can't yet imagine these at the airport! I love the color (midnight blue)! It's just a bit lighter, and different from, the typical black, and it's also not white or silver. Nothing wrong with the colors Sony has chosen, but I wanted something that didn't scream out for notice, but was still not black. These headphones work great with just the cable, not even using the noise cancelling, and the charge lasts a long time, and I'm not even using a battery that I have to remember to replace. I should have upgraded a long time ago, but I may not have considered Sony's headphones back then. I don't know if these are the best noise cancelling headphones on the market, but all my searches compared these with different Bose models. I am very pleased with this purchase, and I can't recommend them heartily enough!

I wanted noise cancelling headphones that wasn’t too expensive and this was a great option for me! I like how I can cancel the noise, but still hear just enough to be somewhat aware of my surroundings. I like the feature where it stops the noise cancelling feature once you start talking to someone. It also feels great on my head/ears, and I’m pretty particular about headphone sizes and comfort. Sound quality is very crisp as well!

Great for travel and noise canceling. Battery life is good and they look great.

These headphones are comfortable enough to wear nearly all day long, which I sometimes do. The sound quality is superb. But perhaps most amazing is the sound-canceling feture. With the headset on, I hear very little other than the music playing. I would buy this item again.

These headphones have been hyped up as the king of headphones for several years now. And it's all true; they are simply phenomenal. But a price point of $350 was a little more that I was willing/able to spring for a pair of headphones for a long time. But I got them on sale for $278, and can I just say, worth it. There are very few things to dislike about them. The bass is substantial, and if you don't fancy as much rattle than you can just tweak the EQ from the app, which is also awesome and very easy to use. I haven't even mentioned the ANC yet, which is probably the headline feature. It reduces road noise to a distant memory. I have yet to try them on a plane, so I can't quite speak on that yet but I'm sure they're great there too. The case is great. If you want portable headphones these are the ones for you. They are very light and comfortable, and for as good as the ANC is, the cabin pressure is almost non-existent. These are worth saving up for, is suggest waiting till they go on sale because that's a much better price. The only thing that could be improved is the water resistance. They can't handle any water whatsoever, and with the location of the mics and whatnot I am slightly concerned about wearing them in rain. But if you're looking for amazing ANC, great, hefty bass, and comfortable, portable headphones, these are the ones for you.

It’s the best audio experience that I’ve had since my first AirPods Pro , really comfortable and the battery lasts longer

By now, you've probably read all the reviews in the industry press and a bunch of reviews from people who own these, and all of them tell you that these are the best wireless, noise canceling headphones you can buy in 2021. Believe everything you've read and go ahead and purchase these with confidence!! - The noise cancelling is so good it's almost disorienting at first! - The sound stage is detailed and relatively neutral with nothing being artificially hyped. AND if you want to alter things to better suit your taste, the SONY Headphones app lets you adjust the EQ (and many other features) to your hearts content. - They are incredibly comfortable to wear for l-o-n-g periods of time and the battery life is nothing short of phenomenal. I'm going nearly a full week between charges and I'm using them alot! - They use SONY's LDAC codec for near lossless streaming of tunes over Bluetooth, contributing to their amazing sound. This Codec is supported on all of the Android devices I own but it's not supported in Windows - that is literally the only disappointing thing about these headphones though and in reality, it's a small quibble. - They can pair to multiple devices simultaneously - so you can listen to music on your computer for example, and seamlessly switch to your phone to answer an incoming call for example - a really handy feature! I could list many other really nice things about these headphones but at this point, I think I'd suggest that you stop reading and go buy them. You'll be mighty happy that you did!!

These are great. The noise canceling is very good. My coysin was at my ear talking to me and i did not hear him. Sound is good. I got them on sale so the price was affirdable. The batter seems to ladt a long time. I have not had low battery once.
