Good but hot
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good headphones. Sound quality is good, good bass. But minus one star because it does get hot after wearing it for more than an hour.

Worth every Penny
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally I wanted the previous version of these but I’m glad I splurged on the newer model. Sound quality is what I expected and the noise cancelling is the best I’ve experienced. The only issue I run into is that my devices will randomly disconnect once and I’ll have to reconnect. After that there aren’t any issues. Love these either way.

Pretty Good Headphones with Slight Problem
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are currentlt using the headset via Bluetooth on a PC. The sound is great but the microphone interferes with sound when used. Example, if I use the headset just as music device (ex headphones) it works great. When using the mic (ex. headset) the sounds becomes less clear. We have resolved this issue by using an external mic. The headphones are pretty easy to use with computer (except for stated issue above) and cellphone. BTW, the sound proofing is great. I would recommend these headphones based on just that.

Mk4 B4 Mk5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An amazing set of headphones. They are easily as good as the newer mk5 headphones with the same features but fold up smaller. Great for flights or just about anything. I wouldnt work out in them though

Perfect gift
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as a Christmas gift for my husband who loves his sports and old rock and roll music. Now I can enjoy reading or watching something on TV without being annoyed. The noise cancellation for him is superb! He could not hear the noise from laundry room nor the TV while listening to music! So this turned out to be a gift to both of us.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Literally the best pair of headphones that I own. The noise canceling works great: I have two kids, a dog, and a cat and I can’t hear them at all with these on

Best headphones on the market
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not kidding. I had to go back and re-listen to all my old songs because they sound so different with these on. It's like hearing your favorite songs for the first time again. I got the silver color and this color is also pretty unique and neutral enough that it will match any of your outfits. 10/10 would recommend

Posted .Hi Mady,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit and mic quality is greatly appreciated. For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly and adjust the headband depending on your head shape. You may find this link helpful:

For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). When using a video calling application on a computer, switch the Bluetooth connection to HFP or HSP with the computer. During a video call, sound quality may become low due to the conditions of the communication line. You can also check the settings of the app that you are using for mic sensitivity if available.
