It’s Sony, what else can I say?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have aged very well despite being 5 years old. The ANC is still competing well against newer headphones. And now, you’ll find these discounted everywhere, best bang for your buck

Really great headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and functions! If I were to change anything it would be to swap plastic with aluminum and get rid of the touch gestures as they can get in the way and be a little hard to get down in memory.

Love these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the M3's for daily use at work & home for 3 years now. they have worked flawlessly. Decided I had to have the M4's when they went on sale, they work great. the noise cancelling feature does a good job of cutting out harmful noise in both of them, Music sounds amazing with these. the mic works well for calls even in noisy enviroments. Easy to configure the way you want.

Worth the upgrade from the WH-1000XM2's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally upgraded from the WH-1000XM2's and the difference between the two models is greater than i had thought. First, Sony continues to enhance the incredible sound quality from previous generations of the product line. The construction of the headphones feels much more secure and solid as compared to the older generations which often broke near the headband. The slimmer headphones also appear to be noticeably less bulky on my head while being worn.

Nearly perfect
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality and noise cancelling are great. Headband could be softer (top of head gets tender after several hours of continuous use), but these are the most comfortable headphones.

Surreal Sound and Noise Cancellation!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right out the box these headphones are amazing for noise cancellation and just submerging yourself into your playlist. I mainly use these for hitting the gym and I love how I’m just vibing in my own zone. A bit of a hassle when I make any sound and it pauses my playlist to allow me to hear outside noise but aside from that, great headphone which I really enjoyed purchasing at a discount!!

Posted .Hi Rich,
Thanks for giving the product a perfect rating! We're extremely pleased to hear you are very impressed with the excellent noise cancellation and incredible audio of your WH-1000XM4 Headphones. Good to know that your investment is worth it. We're sorry to learn the headphones pauses the music when you make any sound.
The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. Disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident. If you want to enable it, hold 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat activated”.
You can also use the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app to switch between enabled/disabled, change the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection, and change the time until the Speak-to-Chat mode ends.
The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location.
