Amazing Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As most reviews have already stated - great, balanced sound from these headphones.

Posted .Hi JennaH,
Hello! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. We are sorry to hear you're experiencing some issues with the touch controls, as they can sometimes be a bit tricky to get used to.
To improve the responsiveness, make sure you are using the flat part of your finger to tap and swipe, and not just the fingertip. For the buttons, please ensure you are giving them a firm, deliberate press. If the issue continues, a quick reset of the headphones often resolves minor glitches. You can find instructions on how to do this in the Sony Headphones Connect app or our online help guide.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Sony Headphone really good.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best purchased so far. ANC is surprisingly good. One verdict is that it's hot while wearing for a long time, but feels better than an in-ear headphone in terms of comfort.

Very good buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is really good and the multi-connecting really helps. The battery is really good. The noise cancellation and mics are top class. Someone looking for premium headphones can go for these. I think the main con will be the speak to chat. I always keep it disable. Overall it's been more than a month and I am really happy with the product.

Great for sensory control!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As someone who has issues with auditory sensory overload, noise control is very important to me and I didn’t feel like my old headphones were quite doing the job so I was on the hunt for a new pair. I had decided on these after comparing reviews, specs and details on these, the Solo Pros and Bose headphones. One of their best features in conjunction with the noise control is the sliding scale that can let’s you choose how much background noise you’re comfortable with in any given situation. You’re also able to connect to several Bluetooth situations at once which I love. The only thing holding me back, to be perfectly honest, was the price so I kept my eye on them waiting for a solid sale price and I’m glad I did!

These are the Cost-Effective Earphones for You.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such a great product: for music lovers, total immersion with resonating music tones that are enriched by noise cancelling technology. Calming. Peaceful. (or for others not into smooth jazz, classical, and artists - rock out).

Great for Home or Mobile Use
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work great, not ideal for studio quality sound engineering, but apart from that the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. If you need studio quality, get wired.

We are thrilled to hear that you consider the WH-1000XM4 the best pair of headphones you’ve ever owned! That is high praise, and we are so pleased they are delivering a superb listening experience.
We also appreciate your insightful feedback on studio quality. You are absolutely correct—for the flat, uncolored frequency response required for professional sound engineering, a dedicated wired monitor headphone is always the best choice.
Thank you again for choosing Sony!

Simply Awesome Get these Cans!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok I own Beats StudI 3, Power Beats 3, Bowers & Wilkins PX7 and P5, Bose Soundsport, Bose Buds and now Sony M4 and I'm shocked how great the sound. The Ultimate Test Luther Vandross - Evergreen, Impossible Dream and of course Superstar (Live). Wow found app setting on the equalizer "Voice" it reduces the instruments and elevates the vocals - Simply Smooth; Take it to another level set the EQ on "Excited ." Prepare to be blown away. They run close with the Jabra but because the are over the ear better reduction of noise.
