    Sound quality and battery life are great. Sometimes the sound starts to skip like a scratched CD regardless of the device it's paired with.

    Noise canceling is the best!!! Any design or color is fine. Unlike AirPods, it does not hurt your ears even if you use it for a long time. Also, the price is reasonable, I think. The battery lasts longer than expected. It can connect to devices and uses MacBooks and iPhones with it. Switching to Bluetooth between devices works better than expected.

    Unfortunately I did not love these and ended up returning. The set up was not easy, I did not like that I needed to download apps in order for these to connect. They also had trouble connecting at times. The quality for music wasn’t great. Used with apple products (ipad and iphone), and plugged into a windows computer with the wire provided. Another problem is that they do not connect to Windows bluetooth. Now the pros, they do last a while so battery life is great and the noise cancellation is great too. I did not feel discomfort wearing them for a while. Also liked that it announces battery life and when the headphones are off and on.

      Hi MDReview, Thank you for sharing your feedback on the headphones. We are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced. It seems like you faced several challenges with the setup and connectivity, particularly with the need to download apps and the difficulty in connecting to Windows Bluetooth. Additionally, the music quality did not meet your expectations when used with Apple products and a Windows computer and the unit had to be returned.

      On the positive side, it's great to hear that you found the battery life and noise cancellation to be excellent, and that the headphones were comfortable to wear for extended periods. The feature of announcing battery life and power status also seems to have been a useful addition for you.

      For future reference, if you encounter similar issues with other Sony products, you might find helpful information and support on the Sony Community forums. For example, there are discussions about Bluetooth headphone connection problems and troubleshooting steps for the Sony Headphones Connect app. You can visit the Sony Community or send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com for more details and support.

    These are my first pair of Sony headphones. Very good to listen casually. I do workout in these from time to time and they are still holding up. Just gotta make sure to wipe it down since it can get very sweaty and wet. I guess if you want it to last longer then i recommend not working out in them. The cups themselves are very very soft and comfortable. I know that when getting helix piercings you shouldnt wear over-the-ears headphone, but i still wore these a week after I got my helix, I cant go without music in public and i hate playing music thru my phone speakers. It didnt irritate my piercings for at least 2-3 hours, which im surprised because my hyperx headphones hurts but these dont.

We appreciate your feedback and are glad you are enjoying your music experience. Thank you so much for sharing your detailed review of the WH-1000XM4 and for choosing Sony! - Romeo Sony_US

    These are great! I use them about an hour or three a day and after two weeks was down to 30% battery! They block out so much noise. I got them for when I sew so I don’t have to crank up the speakers and disturb my family. I really like the sensor in them that stops playback if I take them off, so much easier than finding my device to pause or rewind with my previous headphones. I like that I can adjust the volume and skip tracks on the headphones by swiping. Highly recommended!

    Comfortable and I cannot hear my family with the noise canceling feature even when the volume isn't that high up. The battery life is excellent as well. When the headphones die, it takes around 5-10 minutes for it to charge all the way up and it lasts a long time.

    The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones really do live up to the hype of other online reviews and customer feedback I reviewed prior to my purchase. Crisp clear sound with enough base to enjoy the songs but not so much that it drowns out the rest of the range. Noise cancelling is perfect for noisy rooms and can be used with variable ambient noise settings. The app is easy to master and it maximizes the headphone's features. The touch control on the headphone ear piece is sensitive and instinctively programmed. Within the headphone price point they are competitively priced, but I am glad I picked them up during the black Friday sales.

    I love these headphones. The sound is phenomenal. I only use them to watch my Samsung tv. The actors so often mumble; now I can understand them. The only problem I have is I keep getting crackling interference so I have to shut the system off and start over. I have shut down all Bluetooth devices but it didn’t change anything. They are also very comfortable; I don’t feel them on my ears or head. The noise canceling works beautifully.

    I absolutely love my headphones. The noise cancelling is simple to use just set up the app, and your'e ready. I barely hear when my neighbor is vacuuming their uncarpeted floor. The connectivity is a little spotty over bluetooth but the jack works well with things like a Roku remote. Loved that I got them on sale. Didn't much care for the free Pandora.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I think these headphones are great. The battery lasts plenty of time on a single charge. The sound quality is great, as is the noise canceling feature. The Sony Headphones app is a must for these. They are not for exercising or sports, since they are not water resistant or very tight. Great for commuting and leisure.

    I love that i can connect to my work laptop and phone at the same time, and they seemlessly go back and forth between devices without me having to touch anything. I have had them about a month now, and they have been amazing on charge as well as sound quality. I would say I get 100% noise cancelling in the office and about 95% on the plane. So for me they are once again great.

    These are hands down the best headphones I've owned and I've had the CH700s(I think thats the right line), XB900s, Anker Space 45s and then these, and these are the best when it comes to noise cancelling and sound quality. I will say that the XBs are definitely better when it comes to bass but that's the point of the XBs (Xtra Bass). I am not disappointed with these headphones!

    At one time I owned the Bose Sound Cancellers, this was a couple years back. I loved them, but I recently decided to make the switch to the Sony WH-1000XM4... WOW! These headphones are great, I wear them for hours throughout the day listening to lectures, or board review videos (medical student). Never have a problem with constant sweating. The quality is excellent, love that I can have two devices paired at the same time. Overall, would highly recommend these!

    Hands down the best headphones I've ever purchased. I started using these on Christmas daily, and there is still 30%. I've put in over 19 hours worth. They power on and pair quickly. Most importantly, the sound Incredible. Especially if you have a service like Amazon Music where they support Dolby Atmos and 360 Sound. I've never looked forward to listening to music after such a long day. These do the trick and then some.
