The ultimate NC headset
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was in the market for a noise cancelling headset. I tried the Bose qc45 but it wasn’t as strong. I tried the XM5 and I wasn’t a fan of them either, it honestly seemed like a step down. Finally I went with the XM4 and I do not regret the change. Great bass and even better NC. I was working and heard nothing around me. Some have even used them to mow the lawn. That’s how strong the noise cancellation is.

Amazing headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony headphones will definitely enhance your music experience. While I am not an audiophile, I do know what I like and these headphones deliver an amazing sound. I have owned a pair of Bose soundlink wireless headphones for the past 6 years, and while they sound good, the Sony headphones are by far more superior in sound quality. To be fair, the Bose headphones are not noise canceling like the Sony headphones; however, when I am listening to music in a quiet room in the house, the Sony headphones win hands down!

amazing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.f you are looking for noise cancelation at its best, don't look elsewhere and buy this immediately. Of all the comments that have been said about being not enough this, not able to do that, I think they are all untrue or either an unlucky manufacturing defect. Launch products are not perfect from the start, it's bound to happen. The only thing I do not use are the microphones for making calls, so you can check online and see for yourself about that aspect.

Best Headphones 2020
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones. But I also upgraded from LogiTech ones, so I was bound to like them. I mean every one already knows that they are the best sound quality and noise cancellation out there. But I wanted to talk about other features, it can connect to multiple bluetooth sources of audio, so you could go from listening to music on your phone to attending a meeting on your pc seamlessly. This feature is pretty good for me, since I work from home. Also picking up calls on the phone, the microphone is amazing.

Okay, but there are better options in 2022
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were okay. I tried them out after using the WF-1000XM4 and found the the ear buds to be superior in almost every way. The noise canceling is better, there's not a weird third option between ambient sound and noise canceling, the bluetooth stability is better, the ambient pass through is MUCH better (its pretty bad on these), etc. The only edge I would give to these is comfort, but the material does get hot after a couple of hours. I did ultimately return these and picked up the airpod maxes and have been happier with that purchase.

Posted .Hi Disappointed,
While we're glad you appreciate the comfort, we truly regret to hear you're not having the best experience with your WH-1000XM4. These headphones achieve a tight seal over the ears. If the effect of noise canceling is not sufficient, please check the guidelines and steps
To ensure optimal performance with noise canceling, please refer to the steps and guidelines below:
• Make sure that the noise canceling function is turned on.
• Adjust the headset into a comfortable position.
• The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.
• Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off.
Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
We regret to hear that the headphones had to be returned.
We hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase. Thank you for the feedback.
Sincerely,
Jess

Great headphones !
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried the XM3 version before and decided to get the Bose QC-35II because of bluetooth connectivituy. The XM4 reviews said this problem was fixed, so when Best Buy had these on sale I decided to try them. The XX4 is better than the 35IIs in bluetooth device switching (almost instant as opposed to switching in app). Tonal range is better, noise cancelling is better and more adjustable and the equalizer setting in the app are great - only con is the ear cushions require more placement adjustment to be comfortable
