A no brainer for apartment living.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb for watching TV in an apartment. Blocks out neighbors sound systems and noise. We have four of the SONY WNC headsets of various versions and they are vital for us to keep our sanity as well as enhance our experience in consuming content and gaming.

Just amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.THE ABSOLUTE BEST WIRELESS HEADPHONES EVER!!!! A big differnce from the other headphones that's start with the Letter B is that whenever you remove these headphones from your ears...... the music or video you're watching STOPS!!!! I just thinks that's a cool feature. And they're very comfortable to wear! Takes the C charger and chargers up very fast!

Not enough improvements compared to WH-1000XM3.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1) Headphone physical properties: Does not clamp tightly enough; constantly slide forward or backward when bending over or looking up. Earpieces become hot too quickly, even in cool weather. 2) Active noise cancellation (ACN): Very good. 3) Sound quality: Underwhelming sound quality if EQ within Sony app is not used. If EQ and app are used, sound quality improves to Good. Does not support AptX L, plus LDAC cannot be used if multipoint connection is selected. 4) Bluetooth connectivity: Multipoint function very poorly implemented - just doesn't work consistently. Otherwise stable bluetooth connectivity. 5) Controls: Touch pad works surprisingly well, BUT needs more than 1 programmable button - only allows choice of summoning Voice Assistant or control over ANC level Need both.

neurodivergent mom of 2 approved!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have made my life 1000% better as a neurodivergent mom of 2. Overwhelmed with sounds around me and need noise cancelling! Pop on the Sonys! Can’t focus on cleaning the kitchen?? Pop on a podcast and the Sonys. Seriously, if you’re a mom that gets overstimulated or if you’re just needing a solid, high quality, beautiful pair of headphones. These are so so worth the money. Worth every penny!!!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. I never tried the new Sony line of the noise cancelling headphones but I was pleasantly surprised. However, I feel like using them to talk on the phone is not so good, the other person has trouble hearing me when it is noisy around me. Also it comes with a bag and an airplane adapter and a cable which is very convenient.

Posted .Hi DanS!
We are thrilled to hear you were pleasantly surprised by your WH-1000XM4 headphones! It’s awesome that you’re enjoying the excellent sound and comfortable fit and having the handy bag, cable and airplane adapter makes it super easy to take them anywhere.
Thanks for being upfront about your experience with phone calls in noisy spots. The headphones use smart microphones and noise cancelling tech to help catch your voice, but in busy places, it can sometimes be tough for the other person to hear you.
If you often need to take calls in busy places, trying to find a quieter spot or adjusting features like Sidetone in the Sony | Sound Connect app can sometimes make your voice clearer for the other person.
Thanks for choosing Sony. We really appreciate you sharing your feedback, it helps us make our products even better!
Sincerely,
Estefany

Best for studying
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Needed noise canceling headphones for college and so far they’ve been great. Sometimes I can’t even hear people walk up behind me. I also like the ability to adjust the noise cancellation based on my surroundings so I don’t have to worry about being dangerously unaware of my environment. Takes a moment for the sound to connect to headphones but only a moment. 10/10 would recommend.
