Excellent all around headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones that provide all day comfort. Noise cancelling was weird to get used to at first, but now I quite enjoy it. Sound quality is great for the price point. These do last my whole 8-10 hr work day building race engines with charging boosts during my breaks and lunch time. Finish on the plastics do not like solvents like brake cleaner or acetone.

Fantastic headphones, in ever category
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely and genuinely love these headphones. The noise-cancellation is second to none. Recently took them on a plane and quite literally forgot how loud things were. I connected to the plane wifi and joined a video call with friends they immediately muted me telling me how loud things were around me and for a few seconds I was actually confused at what they meant! The sound quality is also great, mixed in with the built in EQ, it allows you to really get the sound YOU want out of these. I also use these for the gym, and while not being sweat or water proof in the slightest they work fine and plenty of reviewers have said the same. I of course have no plans of drenching them or anything like that but sweat will not hurt these. (Of course do your due diligence and keep them dry and clean) The blue is definitely a darker blue. Under most light it’s just black, the blue being very hard to see (not even remotely a bit deal). Honestly I’d done quite a bit of research on top headphones in the segment and these always came up but the price and brand loyalty elsewhere scared me off. I’d used Sony headphones before but never their premium line ups. Don’t wait as long as I did. If they’re on sale… BUY them. If they aren’t on sale but you want to gets some headphones that’ll last you… BUY THEM.

Fantastic Headphones! Great sound! Comfortable!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are fantastic! The build quality is very solid without being too heavy on the head. I was concerned they might be a bit tight on my large head, but they are super comfortable, with a light to moderate clamping force and soft ear-piece cushions. Both of these factors make them easy to wear for extended periods of time. I thought I would have to modify the sound profile using the SONY app made for these headphones to get the sound mixed how I prefer, but they sounded great right out of the box. Clear, well-defined bass, plenty of mids, and brilliant highs. Not muddy in the least as some other reviews stated. I use these every day, both for work and for play. At night, I connect them to the ROKU app for private TV listening, so I don't wake up the house. There is zero lag time or delay between the action on screen and the headphones. They also work great streaming audio from music apps on your phone. The bluetooth range extends a lot farther than most other bluetooth devices I own. I can walk all over the house listening to music while my phone is downstairs in the office and the headphones stay connected and sound great. I haven't tried using them for phone calls yet, but I will. The noise cancelling is amazing. When you put theses over your ears, it's like you disappear into another world. The headphones fold up neatly and fit perfectly in the provided hard case for safe transport. I can't recommend these headphones enough. I'm going to need a second pair because my daughter has discovered them and loves listening to music with them. Get these headphones! They're worth every penny. You will love them!

Posted .Hi VintageMediaGuy,
Thank you for the positive feedback and we're glad you like the overall performance of the headphones. Everything in the WF-1000XM4 headphones has been designed from the ground up. Like our new Integrated Processor V1. Specially developed by Sony, our new Integrated Processor V1 takes the noise-cancelling performance of our acclaimed QN1e chip and goes even further. Improved noise cancelling performance and Bluetooth “System on Chip” technology delivers the industry’s highest level of noise cancelling yet uses less power. We appreciate the recommendation and thank you for choosing Sony!

Phenomenal noise cancelling headphones
|Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These not only have incredible sound and noise cancellation, but they're extremely comfortable to wear. My only small issue with them is the touch gestures for going to the next song track, answering the phone, etc. aren't always consistent - I feel like I have to swipe the cup of the headphones multiple times before it actually does what I want it to do.

Sony WH-1000XM4...You can’t go wrong!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an outstanding set of headphones. I upgraded from the 1000XM3 which l loved as well. I love that I was able to get these in blue. The clarity and sound from these headphones is amazing and they are very comfortable. I love the use of the Sony app with the headphones as it allows customization. The Speak to Chat and wearing detection are new to this upgrade and are welcomed features. Also, noise cancellation is great and the battery life is outstanding. You can’t go wrong with the Sony XM4.

Excellent earphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far best earphones I own. Great sound and very comfortable. Love the fact that I can control weather I can hear my surroundings. Great features for these earphones. Battery lasts forever. So far I charged them once and that was when I first got them a month ago. They still have quite a bit charge left. Very happy. My only complaint is that i wish there were buttons instead of touch control for volume and skip. Still love these earphones.

Headphones A
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using these for a couple months, I switched from AirPods to these so that I could go to the gym and not have my headphone fall out. I unfortunately haven’t gone to the gym yet to try them out but I can say these are a bit more technical than I thought. Maybe it’s just me, but the app is weird and I don’t think the sound quality is as good, bass is great and to be able to change the sound quality to what your listening too is cool. They are quaint and cute! I would recommend them, sony has been around for a long time and they make quality products. I recommend these. Battery life is out of this world, I use them off and on for a week each day and everytime I come back it has battery and the Bluetooth is okay, it won’t connect right away which I dislike anddd I can’t use Siri

10/10 headphones

The noise cancelling on these is very effective and blocks out around 90% of surrounding sounds. The soundstage is also very wide and the base is very good. Battery life last for multiple days as well

Better than expected
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After three weeks, these headphones have exceeded my expectations. The biggest surprise has been that they stay comfortable on my head for around 4 hours. They also have great sound quality, impressive noise canceling, and solid features - like connecting to multiple devices at once. Connecting to a second device was a tad bit involved, but worth the one time effort. Battery life has been solid too. Once the pandemic is over, I’m looking forward to using these on flights and testing out the ambient mode.

Impressive
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to think that there was no way wireless headphones could ever sound as good as wired, but these Sonys have completely proven me wrong. They are just phenomenal. From comfort and style to sound quality and battery life, they excel in all areas for me. They really do. The only downside (if I have to call one out) is that they aren't that much of an upgrade to the XM3 that came out before it. Sooo, if you need to save some money, those are great too. But if you want the best, then look no further than the XM4s.
I would recommend this to a friendSlick design and great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 2 other pair of headphones, the boss quiet comfort and bowers and Wilkins px9. I found that the these are a middle happy ground. Comfortably is better than the px9 (but still not better than the bose) but better more punchy sound compared to the Bose (px9 are more clear and neutral). All this wrapped in a slick black design. Definitely in the top tier among witless noise cancelling headphones.

great noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these so much! > $250 or less is PERFECT deal. I like these more than the XH-1000XM5 because these for easier storage in backpacks. Let me say 2 things, these are NOT GYM FRIENDLY. I do see people wearing these at the gym but the leather does not feel like it is meant for sweat or being wet for extended periods of time. I am biased because personally I prefer how wireless earbuds feel but defintely feel more like the type of headphones you would wear at an office, library, bus, or even home if you have loud roommates/neighbors. noise canceling is phenomenal! I love wearing these when I vacuum because if i turn the music loud enough, i can barely hear the vacuum! Touch controls: I gotta say that I am not a fan of touch controls, i would prefer physical buttons like the Bose QC45 Why i prefer these over the Bose QC45: Placing your hands over the right ear-cup temporarily activates and boosts the microphones and lowers your music/audio that allows you to hear your outside environment. Theoretically you can just jam out to music but if someone starts talking to you, this feature is the best! My only pain with these headphones is that they are heavy and get SUPER HOT after an hour or two. I find that after extended periods of time with the noise canceling mode on, my ears start to turn red and sweat. I hate this alot but it seems to be my personal experience with ALL noise cancelling headphones i have tried. The QC 45s are easier to wear for extended periods of time if that is more important to you but there is always going to be something that can be improved upon in every product so pick your poison QC45: Extended comfort + Physical buttons vs XM4s: Ambient Sound pass through + superior features
